Located in Upper Sturt, one the Adelaide Hills best kept secrets, yet just 4 minutes from Stirling is this magical cottage set in a dreamlike location sheltered under a beautiful canopy of native and exotic trees. The blue Superb fairy wrens dart among the branches and will even settle on the handrail of the deck. The whole garden is just a nature lovers paradise with wrens, finches, kookaburras and many other rarely seen species of wildlife also present for you to enjoy and to nurture in your own private nature park setting. The 1844 square metre block is given over to many different varieties of trees and shrubs including camellias, hydrangeas, native hibiscus and many more including lots of tree ferns which gives the garden its rainforest like appeal. The home has been built at the bottom of the block giving it a very special and private setting and when out on the deck with birdsong being all you can hear, you could be a million miles away from the hurley-burley of city life instead of just 15 minutes.
The home itself has just been renovated with no expense spared and is looking super with all the walls and paintwork in a delicate shade of cream which enhances the highly polished timber floors and the cathedral timber ceiling over the living area. The home has 3 bedrooms, all with built-ins, or 4 if you include the mezzanine however this is a most useful area and could easily be another living area, a study or a place of quiet contemplation to just enjoy your surroundings. The whole home has been rewired and re-plumbed so there is absolutely nothing to do inside. The kitchen has stainless steel JAG appliances including a dishwasher. The bright, white tiles reflect a lot of light and make this a happy place to be. The bathroom has also been renovated and is sparkling white with a lovely deep bath to really soak away any stress that has crept into your day.
There is a long, steep path that descends to the home and this could be made a little easier to negotiate by adding some steps and maybe in time a concrete driveway. A quick look along at other properties in the same street will have you buzzing with ideas on how to solve this one small problem. However I would certainly walk over hot coals at the end of the day to reach this haven of peace and tranquillity. We hear the words lifestyle property used a lot these days BUT this really is the lifestyle property that we have ALL been looking for.
