Last Listing description (December 2015)
When twice recipient of the Military Cross Sir Arthur Lee decided it was time to downsize, he simply carved off a sizeable chunk of his Grant Avenue estate and built this iconic seventies home with a pool. Designed by Woods Bagot, the winning team behind Adelaide's SAHMRI building, this architectural gem on 1186m2 is not only nestled in a garden paradise, but tucked away in the quietest of cul-de-sacs, offering exceptional privacy while only minutes from top schools, Burnside Village and The Parade's iconic strolling strip.
Enjoy the convenience, serenity and truly good architecture which, as you'll know, has the power to change the way you feel! Your blueprint for living begins with spacious formal and family areas that spill outside to gin and tonic under the verandah; year-round dining on the sun-spritzed north-facing terrace, dips in the cobalt-tiled saltwater pool and the chance to reconnect with nature in glorious gardens that were once a highlight of the Open Gardens Scheme.
The more time you spend here, the more you'll appreciate the thought and attention to detail that has gone into making this home the success story it is... built for easy living with packets of natural light, gallery space for your artwork and a place for everything thanks to a seemingly endless supply of original cabinetry, piano hinged for lasting endurance and incorporating some great little features. Before long, you'll wonder how you ever lived without the box for firewood, the double-sided linen press or the countertop recycle chute. The sunny kitchen is also equipped with a large walk-in pantry and a substantial laundry leads out to the kitchen garden with citrus trees and large veggie patch.
Named after Sir Arthur and Lady Lee, and the silver birches that stand sentinel along the front veranda, Birchlee is a magical place, not least for its tranquil gardens that have become more water-wise and low maintenance over the years, but are still very lush and green. Come savour the serenity and live the dream!
