What a place to live! The seller came from the land and needed a home where that country feeling combined city convenience and 15 Shepherd Court was perfect! They have loved their home and especially the way it lives so connected with the environment, private and so peaceful!
Shepherd Court is an enclave of homes nestled behind the Sturt River. A unique position that takes every advantage of the Linear Reserve walking trails that will be a part of your every day.
Imagine, leaving the front door and taking a stroll, walk or run, north or south in this unique environment. And from the backyard of this elevated half-acre (1960sqm) setting, the outlook north to McTaggart Reserve is very special a natural tree-studded reserve with a stand of majestic Eucalypts that take you somewhere else. At the end of your day or weekends at home, immersed in that country feeling what a tonic!
The Ranch style home was built in 1977 and it's quality! Built upon a huge concrete slab and sited toward the back of the allotment to create an outlook to the trees and hills. It is simply glorious.
The accommodation is spacious and homely, and well-designed where bedrooms at both ends of the home are zoned away from the central living areas. Especially for the growing family it is ideal, and being so practical, the floorplan may appeal to couples too!
Love it as it is, but this home also has abundant potential. The building is brick-veneer and with the huge garage being under-main-roof and with so much room outside to create could the garage be turned in to the ultimate games room retreat or perhaps a studio-apartment for the extended family.
1960sqm of land Amazing!
A concrete circular drive winds its way up to the front door where access to an oversized garage-workshop under-main-roof is easy, and where there is room to park a few more cars perhaps even the caravan or trailer. The driveway loop passes landscaped gardens, open lawn area and a stone bridge where stormwater courses its way down to the river.
At nearly 60sqm, the garage has great dimensions with plenty of room to open car doors, storage and workshop space. A large window looks out to the backyard gardens and a door provides quick access to a large shed complete with storage racks and a workbench. For the hobbyist, it's a great set-up and there is even a potbelly in the corner.
Wide verandahs front and back span the length of the home and give this home its Ranch style or Homestead appeal. From the garage they provide sheltered entry inside, areas to display potted greenery and places to relax out under the porch and in a setting like this with the morning sunshine or evening sunset, just imagine.
With a warm welcome a formal entry is always preferred. Exquisite leadlight French doors at either side open to the living areas.
Lounge-living and a traditional separate dining are very spacious and combine in a beautiful way. Timber flooring looks great, sliding doors open to the verandah front and back, and a large combustion heater is essential in a home like this. There is easily room for that special table setting and any lounge configuration, excellent wall space for furniture and art, and you'll be living with views out across an amazing frontyard environment.
The hardwood timber kitchen is a beauty! It has everything you need and looks out the terraced backyard gardens. It's big, has heaps of bench space, storage and display cabinetry too. There is a dishwasher, double sink, electric cooktop, a raised oven, room for a double fridge and you can seat a few stools at the breakfast bar.
Everyday dining is the seamless complement to the kitchen and it's open plan to a family TV area and a handy computer-library nook. This family living area is too perfect. Spacious, practical, and like the formal lounge-retreat enjoys views and a connection the front and back yards through sliding doors.
The main bedroom is huge! It has a walk-in robe and a renovated ensuite. While tucked away in their own wing three children's, teenager or guest bedrooms share a main bathroom and ideally a separate toilet. The laundry works well and there is an abundance of storage!
Love the outdoors! The backyard setting is so wonderfully private. A paved open terraced area is framed by a landscape of greenery and a Japanese inspired moss rock pond & water feature that trickles away in the corner, and a boundary of well-engineered brick and concrete retaining walls built to stand the test of time. From an outdoor table setting, a view north takes in sky-views and the treetops of McTaggart Reserve. It is idyllic.
Some extra features include ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning, a good size solar PV and Tesla battery, 3-phase power, rainwater storage, a roof sprinkler system, wood store, and new aluminium windows across the front.
What a home and land opportunity this is, and it's position perfect!
15 Shepherd Court feels like the Forever Home
Make it Yours!
