78 Osterley Ave, Bridgewater is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1955. The property has a land size of 768m2 and floor size of 30m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in March 2023.
We loved it when it was a rustic mud-brick and weatherboard house. Now we're swooning over a recent transformation that makes this contemporary salute to the farmhouse truly worthy of the magical valley view that unfolds before its very eyes.
What you see today is the move-in-ready, immaculate result of the sweat, blood, tears and several years that were not only spent on its cosmetic overhaul, but also an extension that makes this a bonafide 4-bedroom home - if you include the fully-lined and insulated separate studio.
This story started in the 1950s, when it was nothing more than a modest weatherboard shack on a largely level plot; extended in 2002 to include a church-like structure with the old-world charm to match.
In other words; it was the perfect canvas for the white, bright and spacious work of art it is today, offering a soul-soothing view over the Hahndorf hills, whether you're dancing in its brand new kitchen or spreading out on the timber-decked terrace.
Featuring low-profile stone benchtops, quality stainless steel appliances, large island/breakfast bar and a white-on-white theme, the kitchen is symptomatic of this highly functional home with a classy, understated sense of style.
Then there's the undeniable charm that comes with its soft textural variations coupled with the smooth natural finish of its original slate floors. It just fits. And it feels good.
Whether it's the kitchen and the casual meals zone that opens through French doors to the deck, the family room that loves winter nights by its fireplace, the sunroom or the studio that splits into a bedroom and potential home office; there is a space to savour around every corner, high and low, inside and out.
A special home, worth the wait, with a view that will never get old.
