Located on the Northern side of Strathalbyn is Toscana’, featuring Mediterranean inspiration and an Australian native garden. Built in 2003, the home is sited on an 874m2 allotment in a quiet location. This low maintenance Santorini brick veneer home with tiled roof is enticing from the street, being elevated and surrounded by native flora.
A paved drive way leads to this striking home, with garaging for two vehicles under the main roof and remote control panel lift door. The front verandah shelters the faade and front entrance. On entering the home you feel the space and airiness with the 8′ 6 ceilings, neutral tonings, tiles and carpets.
The formal lounge, potentially a fourth bedroom, is at the front of the home with large double windows allowing the southerly breezes through the home. It is a welcoming and open room that is flexible by design. Adjacent to the formal lounge is the master bedroom with ensuite and walk in robe. The hall way has a double sliding door storage discreetly located.
A further two bedrooms with built in robes are separated from the main living area, by another hallway. Adjacent is a spacious bathroom with separate vanity, linen press, shower and bath. The main toilet is located off the laundry. The laundry has built in cupboards and access to the garden area.
The kitchen, meals and family area flows effortlessly to a covered outdoor entertaining area. The kitchen has an island bench, roll out drawers, ample storage space and electric appliances. The family area features a quality built in open cabinet with a solid timber top – a real highlight to this home. With full insulation, including internal walls, a 2.5 h.p reverse cycle split system air conditioner services the heart of the home, keeping it delightfully comfortable all year round. The open plan is well designed, with good definition and is eye catching and welcoming.
A study/retreat is off the living area and is separated with provincial bi-fold doors. The study has a large number of power points, two phone connections and direct access to the carport. Other exceptional internal features include down lights throughout and quality window treatments with pelmets.
The outdoor entertaining area is paved with sandstone and features alfresco blinds and timber screens. The barbeque area overlooks the stunning native garden with an antique wrought iron gate between garden rooms’, tranquil birdsong and a place to leave it all behind.
Improvements include a 7.3 metre X 5 metre Colorbond garage with two roller doors, power, concrete floor and outdoor lighting. 10,000 litres of rainwater storage is supplied to the house via a Lowarra pressure pump. There is a fenced and paved dog run at the back fence and a garden shed.
The front yard is as inviting as the rear, showing an array of established native shrubs and a quiet place to take in the breathtaking views of the rolling hills. All the grounds are drip irrigated and designed for colour all year round.
Toscana is a special find that will appeal to the house proud.
