Tucked away at the end of a quiet, tightly held cul-de-sac, 2 Paradise Close is a home that feels a world away from the everyday-yet remains just moments from everything. Set on approximately 857sqm and originally built in 1952, this character-rich ranch-style residence has been lovingly held within the same family for over four decades, offering a rare sense of history, soul, and individuality.
From the very first approach, the tone is set. A charming garden arbour welcomes you through a lush, established front yard, guiding you toward a home that immediately feels warm, inviting, and entirely unique. Hints of Mediterranean inspiration-seen in the veranda textured walls-create a sense of relaxed, coastal European living, right here in the foothills.
Step inside and you are greeted by a generous entry, where polished timber floors reflect natural light that filters throughout the home. To the right, a spacious living room invites both quiet relaxation and meaningful connection, centred around a striking stone feature fireplace-perfect for winter evenings with a book in hand. Thoughtfully designed, this space can be closed off from the kitchen and dining area, offering flexibility and privacy when desired.
At the heart of the home lies a large, functional kitchen, seamlessly connected to a formal dining room that has clearly played host to countless celebrations over the years. From long Christmas lunches to intimate dinners with friends, this is a space designed for gathering. Beyond, a charming stable door leads to a secondary sitting room-an ideal retreat to unwind at the end of the day-before stepping out to a balcony that captures sweeping views across the Adelaide Hills and sparkling glimpses of the city skyline.
Adding an unexpected and truly memorable dimension to the home is a hidden stairwell, discreetly accessed from the kitchen. Below, a unique entertaining zone unfolds-part tasting room, part private pub-evoking the atmosphere of a traditional English inn. Whether hosting lively gatherings or simply enjoying a quiet drink, this space flows effortlessly out to the backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.
The grounds themselves offer multiple spaces to relax and recharge. From the open-air rotunda to the beer garden, elevated balcony, and central outdoor seating, every corner has been designed for enjoyment. A hammock sways gently in the breeze, reinforcing the sense that this is not just a home, but a lifestyle-one that feels more like a private retreat or resort than a suburban address.
Accommodation includes three well-proportioned bedrooms, serviced by a central bathroom, along with the added convenience of a second toilet. An outdoor studio offers incredible flexibility, whether for musicians, artists, or those seeking a peaceful work-from-home environment away from the main residence.
Practicality is also well considered, with a double garage providing ample space for vehicles, storage, and workshop use.
Positioned in the ever-desirable, leafy suburb of Highbury, you'll enjoy the perfect balance of nature and convenience. With the CBD just 15 minutes away, weekends can be spent exploring nearby walking trails, reserves, and the rolling landscapes of the Adelaide Hills. Renowned wineries, including Glen Ewin Estate, are only a short 10-minute drive, offering an enviable lifestyle rich in both tranquillity and accessibility.
Rich in character, layered with history, and offering a lifestyle unlike anything else on the market, 2 Paradise Close is a home to be experienced-and one that will be remembered long after you leave.
