19 Cypress Avenue

Hawthorndene SA 5051

The residence stands imposingly on approximately 4663m2 of grounds, which provide an ambience of grandeur and privacy. Woodland views across Hawthorndene Reserve add to the botanic feel of the property.
Climb the stone steps to the front entrance and you enter the house through the generously proportioned wainscoted entrance hall. To the right are the living areas; the large formal lounge with diamond paned lead light windows and a formal dining room that can easily accommodate up to a 12 guest setting. Features of the dining room are a built-in cabinet with fine leadlight doors, and the leadlight recessed sliding doors which separate this room from the lounge. The country kitchen has a fully functioning wood stove and close by is a maid's pantry, which remains cool all year round and also functions as an internal cellar with extensive wine storage racks.
Polished jarrah floorboards are a feature throughout the house, easily maintained by the ducted vacuum system.
The main bedroom is dominated by an imposing curved bay window and features delicate ceiling ornamentation and generous built-ins. Three other bedrooms are large in their dimensions, one of exceptional proportions. The marble floored bathroom is reminiscent of a by-gone era.
Waitpinga's grounds have been laid out as a botanic garden. Hedges mark discrete garden rooms and provide a verdant backdrop to a second paved outdoor entertaining area, located under the shade of a stately ash tree. Intricate dry stonewalls reflect the precise attention to detail and multiple meandering pathways encourage exploration by all ages. Children will delight in the expansive lower lawn, large enough for a tennis court and koalas visit the glorious gums flanking the area.
A sweeping entrance driveway, which is bordered by heritage roses, leads past th dwelling to the original brick garage, the rear of which houses the former caretaker's quarters, now used as a workshop. A toilet and handbasin is a available. Adjacent to the caretaker's quarters is a car-lover's paradise; a huge garage with automatic roller doors, of approximately 10m x 8.5m having 3.5m height clearance to accommodate a broad range of boat sizes. There is space for up to ten cars on site.
The block, on two titles, has a 70m road frontage, yet from the house there is neither sight nor sound of the road.
Rewired and replumbed, the craftsmanship of the 1920s can be enjoyed with modern amenity. The property is within easy walking distance of train and bus transport and convenient to the Blackwood business centre.
