Century 21 are pleased to present this beautiful family home set on approximately 1/2 an acre in the country township of Houghton in Adelaide’s North Eastern hills. This lovely property offers a lifestyle opportunity for a medium/large family looking to enjoy peaceful hills living but still being only 5 minutes from Tea Tree Gully’s conveniences and 30 minutes to the CBD. The property is located just metres from the iconic Houghton Square, which is also the stopping point for the small local Link SA bus.
This one owner home, on what was originally an apple and pear orchard, is an architecturally designed home, ahead of its time. It has a warm country feel and with 4 large bedrooms plus study, 2 living areas, family bathroom and second shower and toilet, offers plenty of room for all members of the family. This beautifully presented home is split level and is divided into two areas with the less formal family and children’s areas toward the rear of the home and the more formal areas being at the front of the home. The home is set up for entertaining. A leafy rear pergola and pretty courtyard with access via both the formal areas and the kitchen/family area makes it ideal for entertaining family and friends.
The formal lounge and dining room come with views, with picture windows to the rear entertaining area and backyard, and include an open fire for winter nights in with the family, quality fittings and high raked ceilings which feature throughout the home. The kitchen provides a wall oven and cooktop. There is also a breakfast bar and a separate pantry along with plenty of under bench storage.
The property has undercover parking for up to 3 vehicles. At the rear of the property is a large 7.5m x 5.2m workshop accessed via a sliding door, providing enough room for a car or caravan to be kept. It has power connected to it and has a concrete floor.
The grounds, on half an acre, are picturesque and provide for multiple opportunities for development whether it be to plant your own veggie patch or to put in an in-ground swimming pool etc. The choice will be yours. There are already numerous fruit trees, compost bins and a small rainwater tank. The property has a peaceful feel as it is surrounded by nature without being isolated. The home backs onto the Houghton Oval and has direct access to it. It is perfectly positioned to get involved with local cricket or football!
The property is located toward the end of a lovely no through road which enjoys stunning views as you drive along it.
Houghton and the surrounding areas have so much to offer: lovely nature walks, Anstey Hill Recreation Park, landmark places like the Inglewood Inn and Glen Ewin Estate, local wineries, local schools and school bus along with community bus services and general store.
Imagine coming home every day to your own little bit of country lifestyle, sitting down, glass of wine or cup of tea in hand, just relaxing with the beautiful sights and sounds of the native flora and fauna. Well you can with this lovely property!
Having been a resident of this fabulous area for 23 years, I could not think of anywhere else I would want to live. Great local community, friendly people and most of all the fantastic lifestyle to be had. Come and discover the good life in this sought after historic town. ‘SURE TO IMPRESS’
