An impressive residence located on the edge of the township, just a short 7 minute drive to the Mount Barker Freeway exit.
As you enter the impressive gated driveway the tall Silver Birch trees create a screen across the front garden.
The spring bulbs add a burst of colour around the flower beds surrounding the lush lawn.
The colonial style home overlooks the gardens and the summer house, sited in the south eastern corner has a cellar tucked in underneath that could house a substantial collection of wine.
The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall with a discreet coat and boot cupboard. The elegant formal living room is entered via the hall and boasts an ornate ceiling rose together with an imposing stone fireplace that has been designed to draw in air to feed the fire and create a functioning heat source.
The tall Colonial windows overlook the appealing front garden and the views beyond.
From the entrance hall you can also head straight into the open plan kitchen and meals area with its slow combustion heater that serves to warm the entire home.
The kitchen features stylish Granite bench tops and glass splashbacks together with modern appliances. The house runs entirely on rainwater however, there is the ability to swap to mains water if required. The recently added Family Room with its lofty raked ceilings will no doubt become the hub of the home. Natural light streams through the French doors with arched fanlights providing garden access on one side and also a flow through to the all weather fernery and indoor garden. A paved pathway leads you around the indoor garden – you will even discover a small bridge over one pond. This is a perfect place to entertain or simply sit in the cool and enjoy some down time.
The dining room has an interesting timber ceiling and can also access the indoor garden.
The main bedroom suite features a small study, large windows overlooking the garden and a walk in robe and ensuite with spa bath and interior garden views. This southern wing can be closed off from the rest of the house to create a parents retreat.
Bedrooms 2, 3 & 4 are located in the northern wing with the family bathroom and laundry room.
Bedrooms 2 & 3 are double size with built in robes and pleasant outlooks.
The bitumen driveway features dry stone retaining walls and provides ample parking spaces for family and guests. Undercover parking for two vehicles plus a double garage with power and concrete floor is also in situ.
The northern garden features raised beds that have been used for growing vegetables in the past and are awaiting some green fingers to take them over.
The well renowned Nairne Flower Garden, as featured in SA Life Magazine, is just a stones throw away. The main street of Nairne is home to the local Post Office, Gift Shops, a fabulous Indian Restaurant, Doctors Surgery, Chemist, Convenience Store plus Take Away Shops, a brilliant bakery and two Pubs. Nairne also has a Primary school.
The nearby township of Mt Barker provides an abundance of shopping, cinemas, restaurants and coffee shops together with Dentists, Schools, Colleges and city bus access.
Once you have made the move to the picturesque Adelaide Hills we doubt you will choose to live anywhere else!
