Come and live in a secluded setting and yet feel so connected to a metro-lifestyle. Imagine coming home to 3830sqm, (0.95acre), of your own space a beautifully natural landscape amongst the trees enjoying a perfect elevation to where that warm winter sun is always welcome and you'll be living with a perfect sunset over the Bay.
Concealed from street view, an arbour of trees down a brick paved driveway brings you to this wonderful position that provides peace and privacy.
Designed and created by the current owners in 1998, the home has a welcoming homestead feel that sits naturally within its surroundings. Built on a concrete slab, a small split-level separates the bedrooms from the living areas. Engineered rammed earth gives the home a distinctive, grounded character, along with a sense of permanence and a calm. The walls help moderate the temperature through the seasons and provide excellent acoustic qualities. In itself, it is Art!
Thoughtfully positioned to make the most of its glorious surroundings, the home features wide verandahs that offer welcome shade and an inviting place to sit and take in the views. At one end, the extended roofline creates a sheltered outdoor alfresco-style living area that connects you with nature and opens to view of the sea. It is bliss.
At the end of the driveway, a freestanding double carport offers easy access and room to turn around. A handy workshop sits behind it, and the verandah shelters the walk to the front door. The outlook makes for a welcoming arrival one you may find yourself pausing to enjoy.
Inside, the formal entry opens to a huge open plan living space that zones four different areas where you can truly decide how you want to live or change with the seasons! A terra-cotta ceramic tile provides a rustic sense of warmth and combines with the natural hue of Rammed Earth walls. Great wall space and high ceilings are impressive while cedar sliding doors provide three openings to the great outdoors.
Imagine in the cooler months, stoking the wood-fire, being warm and cosy in a gallery style living area and watching the mist roll in amongst the trees. In its environment, this is certainly a home for all seasons.
The separate kitchen looks out to backyard greenery and has a large opening to the main living areas. It is a Blackwood Timber kitchen with good bench pace and pantry storage and will serve you well for awhile until it comes time to have fun and build in a new kitchen bespoken for you. The laundry is adjacent has direct access to the paved backyard terrace.
Two steps separate the bedroom wing. A long hallway services four bedrooms or three and a second studio-style living area it once was an artist's creative repose. With brand new carpet, cosy rammed earth, and a view under the verandah to the trees all bedrooms have their own feeling of retreat!
With a walk-through robe and an ensuite the main bedroom feels extra-large and invites the idea of having a lounge or day chairs.
Around the home itself, it easy get around with paved walkways, irrigated green lawn is just enough to ground the feet, there is a garden pergola, woodsheds and composting area, rainwater storage and a work shed for the hobbyist. The land is a natural landscape with a stand of mature Eucalyptus and native plantings it is a park-like setting that will change with the seasons and has abundant potential to be creative or live as the owners have may it provide peace and privacy and very real feeling of disconnect. It is hard to believe that this is a Metro-Lifestyle.
Euro Avenue is a no-through road street and a walk around the corner will take you to the Eden Hills train station. Blackwood Village and Pasadena Shopping are a short drive, Brighton-Seacliff beach is 15-minutes, the north-south corridor is happening and getting to Sensational Adelaide is easy. Think of coming home at the end of your day and taking a walk through Shepherds Hill Recreation reserve or simply weekends at home in your own acre environment. What a place to live this is!
Make it Yours.
