Summertown SA 5141

Passing through the lounge room you enter the kitchen diner. The room stands out immediately with the bare aluminium pressed metal feature ceiling, exposed brick fire place, newly appointed white kitchen with Carrara marble bench tops , dishwasher and stainless steel industrial oven. The kitchen has ample storage and cupboards . Currently the room is set up with a large dining table which sits eight people comfortably.
Heading through to the Living room you are immediately drawn to the beautiful vista of Piccadilly Valley out of the two large windows. This allows an abundance of natural light to spill into the house resulting in a sense of brightness and space. The durable slate floor, coat rack, modern light fixtures, raked ceiling with exposed beams are subtle features that bring the room together.
On the opposite side of the kitchen you?ll enter a third bedroom which has a beautiful sandstone feature wall, built in robe and corner fireplace. Access to the undercover carport and second bedroom provides good functionality for flexible room options.
The large bathroom has a traditional claw bath on a bespoke Jarrah pedestal base, federation style patterned black and white floor tiles with the simplicity of plain white wall tiles, large shower alcove, and space for the laundry. The mini orb vaulted ceiling is a real surprise.
As you walk outside from the Living room you are greeted with the huge hardwood deck. You have plenty of room to entertain on this 36m2 space allowing you to spread out when entertaining. The deck steps down onto a lawn area with room for the kids to play a game of backyard cricket or croquet.
Down another set of two steps to the lower terrace you are greeted by a large studio room which can be used for a variety of purposes, fourth bedroom, artists studio, office/business (as it has separate access to the main house) or utilities room. Currently the space is used as an office/studio which doubles as a private retreat for guests. The polished concrete floor and high raked ceiling gives the room a light and airy feel. Commercial grade over-height double doors and windows take your view outside into the garden making this space exceptionally delightful and enjoyable to be in. Outside the studio you can't help but notice a pergola supported on greco roman columns, this is a great place for hosting Christmas lunch or afternoon tea in the summer months.
The 100 year old Walnut tree is a real feature of the property, providing valuable shade in the summer and an abundance of produce. This grand tree gives the home the feeling of living in a tree house and like a trusted grandfather clock, faithfully chimes away the months with it's beautiful seasonal display and bountiful harvest .
Stepping down past a vegetable garden and a second terrace paved in Mintaro slate you arrive at the head of a grand set of granite paved steps that form the backbone of the backyard. These well proportioned steps invite you to meander down past a lovely little orchard made up of plum, pear, nectarine, apricot, apple, and cherry trees . Discreet paths allow you to step off at several of the landings on your way down leading off to the sheds or a chicken coop. At the bottom of the garden you are delivered to a large flat area currently housing another generous garden shed to one side of a clearing from which to take in one of the best views of Piccadilly Valley.
If you're looking for something much much more than just a tree change, Walnut Cottage Summertown is a rare chance offering of a beautifully kept character cottage in the Adelaide Hills only 15 minutes to Burnside. This is an opportunity to be largely self sufficient, harvesting rain water, with a 3.5KW solar power roof system providing reduced electricity rates, and the ability to grow and harvest fresh vegetables and numerous stonefruit, not to mention an inundation of walnuts each summer.
Situated on a quiet country lane, within a short walking distance to the local school , preschool and shops in Uraidla, a short five minute drive to Stirling and with a bus stop to the city only 40m from your front door, this property exudes and epitomises everything country living can be, without compromising the convenience of a more urban lifestyle.
