Cradled beneath the scenic foothills of Morialta Conservation Park, this sweeping family haven blends classic contemporary comfort with blue-ribbon positioning on a sprawling 1,042sqm parcel. Lovingly maintained, 10 Marola Avenue unfolds across a generous four-bedroom, three-living footprint that champions space, connection, and lifestyle ease in one of Rostrevor's most tightly held pockets. Originally, this unique family home was architecturally designed and built in 1980 for acclaimed South Australian landscape photographer and former television director Stavros Pippos, widely celebrated for his photography of the Flinders Ranges, the Coorong and the Nullarbor coastline
Behind its charming brick façade and drop-down driveway - revealing an impressively converted rumpus retreat or studio - the surprises begin from the street. Inside, a light-filled family room warmed by a feature fireplace sets an inviting tone, before flowing through to a formal dining or inspiring home office that instantly adapts to modern living.
The social heart of the home beats strong in the expansive open-plan living and casual meals zone, where everyday dinners and lively weekend gatherings unfold with effortless flow. An updated, well-equipped kitchen keeps the resident chef firmly in control, while gallery windows frame sweeping views across the enormous backyard; a sun-splashed canvas primed for landscaping vision, a dream pool addition, or simply room for kids and pets to play.
The home's four bedrooms are led by the generous master enjoying its own private ensuite, while the remaining three sit conveniently near a neat contemporary bathroom to streamline busy mornings. Zoned ducted air conditioning and a bill-busting solar system elevate comfort and efficiency, while the opportunity to introduce a light cosmetic refresh over time only enhances the long-term appeal of this superb foothills address.
With nature quite literally at your doorstep, elite public and private schools within walking distance, and vibrant shopping precincts including Newton Village, Firle Plaza, and The Parade Norwood just minutes away, lifestyle convenience is unmatched. Add easy public transport options and a swift 15-minute commute to the CBD, and you have a family sanctuary that delivers space, serenity, and east-side connectivity in perfect balance.
