Welcome to this enchanting, private hills retreat - a property you've probably driven past a hundred times and never knew it was there. Ever so conveniently located off of Mount Barker Road, with a bus stop at the bottom of the driveway, this totally gorgeous weatherboard home set on an expansive and very well kept 1/4acre block is a true treat to come home to each day.
From the moment you step inside, the home draws you in with its warmth and simplicity. Natural light pours through expansive windows and French doors, each framing a different garden scene, creating a constant connection to the outdoors and embracing its' elevated position. It’s a home that feels alive where you can effortlessly witness the ever-changing seasons.
A home without a large footprint, but with a big heart, it's open plan format works wonderfully and is highly adaptive, where there are 3 bedrooms if required, or, as the current owner has done, enjoy an oversized living room and embrace the natural light that floods through the large windows of bedroom 3, now serving as the prettiest dining room.
The kitchen is only 3 years old, beautifully built with Hamptons inspired shaker drawers that are soft close, solid timber benches, dishwasher, gas cooktop and an oven that still is brand new. This kitchen effortlessly works and appeals to the charm of the living room space that features exposed timber beams, timber look floors and neutral palettes.
The master bedroom has built in robes and a tv connection, bathroom renovations were completed just 2 years ago now with an easy-care frameless shower, conveniently there is a separate toilet and new blinds and carpets have been installed, enhancing both comfort and style.
Outside via the French doors, the appeal only grows. A brand-new deck built with 'Ekodeck' - a totally maintenance free decking material, with sleek glass balustrade creates a beautiful vantage point to soak in the surrounds, the most idyllic spot to enjoy morning coffees or gatherings with friends over a few bubbles.
The rear yard is securely fenced for dogs of all sizes and the lawns, tiered stone walls and established trees host all the fundamentals for a creative garden for kids to explore. A separate studio adds yet another layer of versatility, the perfect place for the budding artist to paint or try your hand at some messy fun like pottery.
With ample off-street parking, plus double carport and an additional garage/workshop, the practicality here is undeniable.
And then there’s the location, an easy stroll to the heart of Aldgate, where favourites like the Aldgate Pump Hotel, Fred Eatery and Foodland Aldgate await, along with the village charm that makes this pocket so tightly held.
A home that feels this good is rare.
A property this special is not to be missed.
