Eden Hills SA 5050

Behind a picket fence, this beautiful home and land almost feel inconspicuous, it is all intriguing and seems to take you on a journey as you pass through this peaceful residence, and wander around the glorious gardens that roll gently down to a park-like environment that will take the breath away. Imagine weekends at home ... tinkering in the barn, pottering around in the garden, relaxing pool-side, and having fun with your own space where it is all so peaceful and private!
And with a perfect north facing aspect this family home lives well through all the seasons, while the slight elevation provides a treetop outlook and big sky-views. Standing by the pool ... you can even see the Sea!

With flat gated access, driveway entry to a large freestanding double carport and a century-old barn-style garage/workshop is easy. There is a real rustic-patina to the workshop that could be a creative studio for the hobbyist or as a place to just tinker about. It would be very appropriate as a home for the classic car and the Gibbs Builders sign is still mounted on the wall a century on.

As the front gate 'clinks' behind you the senses begin to play with the crunch of loose gravel under-foot and a fish-pond water feature, while a Golden Elm prepares for winter. The front verandah feels more like a Bungalow, but the gabled front sings a Villa ... either way this classic home is very much in its environment.
Inside, the slate tiled entry and hallway with its sky-light is welcoming, and also creates a functional symmetry to the home with the main bedroom and home theatre on one side, while the traditional lounge and dining rooms are on the other side, and the children's bedrooms are tucked away in their own wing.
With a beautiful bay-window the main bedroom is a cosy space. It has a walk-in-robe, and a light-filled ensuite. The sparkling bathroom is separated by a convenient second entry/boot-room that provides convenient access to and from the carport. It also makes the ensuite-bathroom private!
The home-theatre features in-ceiling Bose surround sound speakers, plus floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and display cabinetry. It is a large room with quality wool carpet, has an open fire-place, and complements the main bedroom as a retreat for mum and dad.

The traditional lounge and dining rooms are also spacious! The front room enjoys a big-window outlook to the front yard gardens and established Ash trees that line the street. And with its ornate centre rose, you really notice the high ceilings while the open fireplace is a special feature in this room.
Original and pristine timber-frame and glass-panelled sliding doors serve to separate the dining room or bring both rooms together. The original dining room also has an open fire-place with built-in book shelves either side, and for the family living here, is versatile in the way it complements the children's or teenager bedrooms as a music/library room.
The children love their rooms, both have built-in robes, and are separated by a shared study or games-retreat.

At the end of the hall, a heritage door swings open to reveal the main living areas ... and Oh' what a space this is!
Let's call it the Conservatory. It is instantly welcoming ... exciting and unique, warm and inviting, inclusive and spacious, and is all set for practical everyday living, and will be an absolute pleasure when entertaining family & friends.

The kitchen functions around a huge marble-stone island with its matte-brass fittings. It intelligently integrates the wet-area and dishwasher, with excellent storage and work-space is plenty! The freestanding and luxury Smeg cooking-range lives in the corner with granite-stone splashbacks and a large walk-in pantry is right there. It all works so well.
The family dining area will accommodate the largest of table settings and the open family room is simply amazing! You feel so connected with the environment outside through large segmented windows that look north out over green lawns to the fully-tiled in-ground pool and beyond. Vaulted ceilings and structural timber beams, wood-fired combustion heating and slate tiled flooring all together combine to make this great space extra special!
The home-office or bedroom four is adjacent and feels private with its own access to the shared garden-patio and deck, while to the other side of the Conservatory is the main bathroom and a sparkling new laundry/utility room.

Outside, an arbour of greenery takes you on a journey outside that you will have to come and experience for yourself. Past the barn where there are farm-like nooks, to the open lawn areas where children and the family hound can play safely, to the superb in-ground pool setting that is one of the best you will see. Wandering paths of recycled bricks frame fully-irrigated botanic gardens that take decades to create, there is an abundance of rainwater and as you arrive at the bottom ... your land opens up to a natural setting that is hard to believe, could be Especially Yours.

What a place to call Home.
