An Adelaide Hills’ beauty with hot options

Surround yourself with ultimate quality and elegance as the lucky new owners of this immaculate and luxuriously appointed four-bedroom home set in breathtakingly beautiful gardens running down to Aldgate Creek. With two street frontages, you will also enjoy private bridge access to the vibrant township as well as rear vehicular access via no-through Rugby Road.

The home is every inch a grand villa providing over 300m2 of living space over two levels. Each is able to operate independently as a self-contained apartment, offering exciting options for extended family, long-stay guests and rental income.

Built in 1999, modern steel-frame engineering underpins the character of yesteryear, faithfully reproduced with beautiful tessellated verandahs and bathrooms, sparkling leadlight, high Victorian ceilings and solid timber joinery including gorgeous hardwearing Blackbutt flooring.

You will love the livability of the floor plan that cleverly avoids that boxed-in feeling as it flows from space to space, looping around a majestic timber staircase. French doors all around make for an easy ebb and flow, leading out to a garden-view balcony and secluded terraces including covered entertaining venues on both levels – all perfect places to eat, laugh and contemplate life with family and friends.

At entry level, the open-plan living area offers just the right balance of formal and casual, welcoming in the cooler months with a gas log stove that can be preset with a timer and a traditional American oak kitchen featuring granite counters and Smeg appliances. Beyond, there is a huge study or play room and then a king-sized master bedroom where couples will feel pampered with a beautifully fitted walk-in robe and magnificent two-way ensuite complete with a 6ft freestanding cast iron bathtub. Guests will feel right at home in a further double bedroom with convenient access to the main entertaining terrace and a three-way bathroom incorporating a laundry and powder room, also handy for alfresco entertaining.

The lower level benefits from its own impressive entry, the gateway to a games room with a superb solid timber bar/kitchen featuring marble work surfaces and stainless steel appliances, a study nook, two double bedrooms and a two-way ensuite.

Granites, marbles, timbers and wools imbue the whole home with a tasteful timeless aesthetic, while premium built-in storage banishes clutter for good.

Outside, mature gardens glow with vitality. Follow the agapanthus lined pathway as it cuts a swathe through stunning stone retaining walls, lush hedges and beautiful specimen trees. Choose a seat to take in views of the house or creek, and to admire a stunning wrought iron arbour encircling a water feature that can be controlled from the main living level.

Extras include ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, ceiling fans, five TV points, a fully automated watering system, garden lighting, undercroft workshop/store, generous double carport and auto driveway gates with keypad and intercom. Discover all this and more when you inspect this flawless property, just steps from the heart of Aldgate and minutes to excellent schools, neighbouring Stirling and freeway access to the city.
