This stunning property comes to the market for the first time ever, after 17 years of loyal service to the same family. Conceived, planned and built with vision and care by the present owner, it punches well above its weight for design, quality and all-round liveability.

Beautifully cared for and maintained, it presents with 4 well-proportioned bedrooms (double walk-in robe to master and built-ins to bedrooms 2, 3 and 4), and a fifth zone currently fitted as a hairdressing salon. With its own outside access and plumbing, this latter area could easily be repurposed to a self-contained studio, granny flat, teenage retreat, home office, or fifth bedroom if needs be.

What is striking about this home is its conscious use of space and light, from the wonderfully wide entrance hall which heralds the large, main living space, to the generous master with ensuite and bay window, three-way family bathroom with powder-room, generous peppering of storage whichever way you turn, and non-standard (9-foot) ceilings.

At the open-plan heart of the home, the cook is truly centre-stage, with gas cooking, quality appliances and a massive walk-in pantry in the wings. From the double sink vantage point there’s a clean sweep of family and guests, as they laugh, lounge, play and dine. The eye is drawn via pretty screen doors to the wow factor’ outdoor space that is yet to delight.

A masterpiece by Pergolas of Distinction, this attractively designed and quality rendered outdoor entertainment area, with its handsome sandstone terrace of columns transports the mind to the Mediterranean, while caf blinds and ceiling fans keep everyone cool when the mercury rises. Out here, you’ll also find a manageable, landscaped, lawned rear yard, powered garden shed with verandah lean-to, and a handy third W/C.

The many additional features include: ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning with 6-zone flexibility, floating timber floors throughout, double garage with internal and back yard access, built-in cupboards and remote panel lift, a good-sized laundry with external access, security screens to all doors, quality window treatments, exterior light sensors, easy care front yard with drip and sprinkler irrigation, secure backyard fencing and a home security system.

Add to all this a central location, with tram or bus at the end of the street, 7 minutes drive in whichever direction to the CBD, Glenelg, Marion Shopping Centre or the Adelaide Hills, excellent schools and shops on your doorstep, and you have everything you need for a comfortable, vibrant family life.

Homes of this calibre don’t come by every day of the week, so put yourself at the head of the queue to avoid possible disappointment.
