Overview

Rewrite the rulebook; a Hills original on a whole new level

Best offers by 1:00pm Wednesday 7th October (unless sold prior) Completely at home in its landscape, 149 Yarrabee Road proves the best Hills homes don't just give you a view - they give you a whole new outlook. Elevated amongst the rolling Hills on 2,400sqm, this bespoke mud-brick home strikes a rare balance between earthy materiality, architectural character, and contemporary polish - grounded in its setting, yet entirely one of one. Following the natural fall of the land, a split-level footprint gives every zone its own identity without ever losing connection. Exposed brick brings warmth and weight, Jarrah salvaged from old Port Adelaide wool stores tells a story overhead, raked ceilings lift the scale, while walls of glazing and clerestory windows draw natural light and sweeping views deep inside. A grand entry opens to a dedicated dining area, before stepping down into a sunken main lounge. A two-way combustion heater delivers warmth and atmosphere, shared with an adjoining sitting area that could just as easily serve as a study or quiet retreat, while a bonus loft offers another versatile space for working from home, reading, or simply escaping the activity below. Host dinner well beyond dessert, settle in by the fire, find a quiet corner to focus, or let the whole house hum at once - the balance never falters. Right amongst it, the kitchen makes its own statement. Timber benchtops and rich floor-to-ceiling subway tiling bring the style, wide premium appliances bring the substance, and a dual zone wine and drinks fridge brings the fun, while extensive storage keeps everything else neatly in check. The sleeping quarters find their own rhythm. The main bedroom claims its own vantage point with built-in robes and easy access to a beautifully renovated bathroom, where a wide timber vanity, frameless corner shower, and fluted freestanding tub radiate hotel calibre. A flexible central bedroom adapts without missing a beat, while two further bedrooms form a retreat of their own alongside an equally luxe second bathroom and sitting room with its own combustion heater. Guests, teenagers, multigenerational living, or simply somewhere to disappear - it's a wing that earns its keep. Outside, a wide balcony and vine-wrapped pergola gaze across the treetops and rolling landscape, turning first coffee, last wine, and doing absolutely nothing alfresco into equally good ideas. Below, established gardens, fruit trees, and lawns settle naturally into the slope, lush, layered and never competing with the view. A freestanding double garage brings another wildcard to the mix, with an adjoining workshop lined with extensive shelving and bench space ready to stay exactly that - or flex into a studio, creative space, home gym, or serious hobby headquarters. Extensive solar, substantial rainwater storage, split-system air conditioning, ceiling fans, an oversized separate laundry and generous additional off-street parking take care of the practicalities, leaving the lifestyle to do the talking. Summertown, Uraidla, and Crafers keep cellar doors, farmers markets, walking trails, and excellent coffee firmly on the weekend rotation, while the eastern suburbs and Adelaide CBD remain within easy reach. Uraidla Primary School, Norwood International High School, and a rollcall of leading private schools keep the family logistics covered too. Distinctly different, decidedly Hills; you'll never look back.
