The Jacaranda position is a real surprise. It is a no-through street of house-proud homes that all feel very much a part of their beautiful environment a secluded enclave very convenient to Blackwood but where you feel far from it all.
This fabulous home lives on a sweeping corner allotment and shares a long boundary with Hakea Court it measures 1340sqm and backs onto the natural landscape of McTaggart Reserve. Imagine coming home to peace and quiet, and looking forward to an evening walk around neighbouring streetscapes or a stroll through nature at the back gate, while at the end of the street, there is a pedestrian walkway where you can shortcut to the Sturt River Linear Reserve. This is what living in the Mitcham foothills is all about!
Tucked down off the street behind thriving native gardens, there is a feeling of intimacy and privacy as you enter this 1970 Turner Wood home a popular builder in this mid-century period!
The owners have loved their place and as the family grew so did their family home. In 1999, they extended the main living area with a brilliant Architect designed extension, and took advantage of the space underneath the home to create a new main bedroom with a separate bathroom and a study. Altogether, there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
PRIVATE IN THEIR OWN WING ARE THREE BEDROOMS.
The original main is a large room with wall-to-wall built-in storage, bedroom two has robes, while bedroom three currently used as a home-office and library, is another large room. They share a main bathroom and separate toilet, and all enjoy a delightful outlook to greenery. All windows across the front of the home have retro-fit double-glaze windows!
RETREAT DOWNSTAIRS TO THE MAIN BEDROOM.
There will be no problems sleeping in, it's quiet down here. The adjacent bathroom is ideal, it is virtually the ensuite, but being separate ensures the bedroom is completely private. The adjoining study-computer area is a good size and could be turned into the dream walk-in robe if its preferred.
The laundry is downstairs too and with access to an under-house storage and cellar area.
ZONED OPEN LIVING IS SIMPLY SUPERB.
From the main entry, with an outlook to the front yard gardens where dry-stacked bluestone walls frame beautifully established native gardens that are visually calming, the original living room is the perfect space to relax and lounge in front of a wood-fired combustion heater.
And as you move through this space, the view through the open plan dining area to the family room extension really excites the senses. It is a wow moment! The high skillion roof-line is impressive and a wall of cedar-framed windows bring in the outdoors and at the same time frame a very special outlook to the treetops of McTaggart Reserve and big-sky views! It truly is inspiring.
There is plenty of wall-space for furniture and art, polished Australian Oak floorboards feature and an east facing highlight-window that welcomes the morning sunlight to the kitchen and dining area is a finishing touch.
GATHER AROUND THE KITCHEN.
It feels like a room inside this amazing open plan living area. Great bench space is practical and also provides an area where you can seat a few stools, the wet-area is ideally concealed behind a raised bar, there is a dishwasher, a freestanding electric cooking range, and you'll be cooking with gas with an additional cooktop to the side! There is good pantry store, a nook for the coffee machine and great cupboard & drawer storage too. These combined living areas really do offer the very best in open plan living.
ALFRESCO ON THE BALCONY DECK.
And what a spot this is! It really is hard to believe that all this serenity could be yours forever. Imagine, everyday a moment out here with nothing but birdlife and the environment, and where you can hear the quiet! It is a perfect size for a table setting, a day chair or two and there is a spot around the corner for the barbeque. The views from here out over the backyard setting to the reserve is quite spectacular.
IF YOU LOVE THE GREAT OUTDOORS.
You'll love it here! The terraced land that follows Hakea Court down to the reserve feels like your very own sanctuary. Access to a freestanding double-garage is easy, a classic Golden Elm shades a paved pergola and what a treat to have an established Oak Tree in your own backyard. With open lawn areas, the little-ones can kick a ball and play to their hearts content, there are fruit trees and areas for vegetable gardens and more! If you love to be outside and have dreamed the self-sufficient market garden or an orchard of fruit trees, then this backyard setting could have it all. And if a future pool is prescribed, then with easy access there is simply abundant potential!
