Built in 1967 on the high side of Colorado Drive, this solid brick home blends classic mid-century character with thoughtful modern updates. Its leafy Glenalta setting brings nature close while keeping Blackwood and everyday amenities within easy reach.
From the street, textured white brickwork and feature stonework complement the home's distinctive architectural roofline. Step inside and high ceilings, polished timber floors and large windows create a bright and welcoming interior.
The split-level floorplan offers two separate living areas with plenty of room to spread out.
The main lounge is spacious and inviting. An adjoining family room enjoys large windows overlooking the leafy surrounds and opens directly onto an elevated outdoor terrace. It works beautifully as a second living area, home office or a quiet place to unwind.
A modern gas fireplace creates a natural focal point in the living space, complemented by a wall-mounted television and sound system which will remain with the home.
At the centre of the home is a beautifully renovated kitchen with a clean contemporary finish.
Streamlined benchtops and shadowline cabinetry are complemented by leather and brass handles, black tapware and a herringbone tiled splashback. Stainless steel appliances, gas cooking and a dishwasher complete the kitchen, while the adjoining butler's pantry cleverly incorporates the laundry and provides valuable additional storage and workspace.
All three bedrooms sit together in their own wing away from the main living areas. Each includes built in robes.
The bathroom retains some of the home's original personality with terrazzo flooring and includes both a bath and separate shower. The toilet is positioned separately for added everyday convenience.
Outside, there is plenty of space to enjoy the setting.
The alfresco patio opens to a generous backyard with broad lawned areas and established greenery. A dedicated fire pit area creates the perfect spot to gather with family and friends on cooler evenings.
Mature gums form a beautiful backdrop to the yard and are regularly visited by local koalas. It is a special reminder of just how connected this home is to its natural surroundings.
Solar panels and battery storage add another modern advantage and help improve the home's everyday energy efficiency.
A lock-up garage with an automatic roller door provides secure vehicle accommodation and additional storage.
Hannaford Park is just metres away while Belair National Park is also close by. Walking trails, open spaces and native bushland can easily become part of the daily routine.
Blackwood's shops, cafés and amenities are only a short drive away. Public transport is within walking distance and quality schools including St John's Grammar and Belair Primary are also conveniently close.
Full of character without sacrificing modern comfort, 2 Colorado Drive offers genuine personality, flexible living and a wonderful connection to nature in one of the foothills' most appealing settings.
