A home unlike any other, 40 Townsend Street brings together handcrafted character, dramatic proportions and an idyllic Adelaide Hills setting.
From the moment you arrive, there is something magical about the property. A picturesque driveway winds through layers of beautifully established greenery, with the home positioned well back from the road for added privacy. A creek runs alongside the property, while charming dormer windows and a welcoming front porch create an almost storybook first impression.
Bespoke in both its design and construction, the home was thoughtfully created with the involvement of its current owner and offers a warmth and individuality rarely found. Timber features are celebrated throughout, culminating in a spectacular open-plan living space where soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed beams and timber lining create an extraordinary sense of height, character and architectural drama.
At the heart of the home, the generous family and dining areas flow naturally together beneath the impressive vaulted ceiling. A log fire provides a cosy focal point through the cooler Hills months, while the open proportions and abundance of natural light give the space a wonderfully relaxed and inviting feel.
The large kitchen offers excellent functionality with a 900mm gas cooker, fan-forced oven, dishwasher, Puratap, generous bench and cupboard space and a walk-in pantry. An adjoining casual meals area captures beautiful views towards the rear gardens and rolling green hills beyond.
Accommodation is equally generous. Downstairs are two substantial bedrooms, including a front-facing bedroom with a walk-in robe and convenient access through to the hallway, while another large bedroom enjoys its own door opening directly outside. The downstairs bathroom adds another layer of charm with its claw-foot bath and is complemented by a separate WC.
Upstairs, the home reveals another wonderful dimension. A second living area overlooks the impressive living space below and enjoys views across the surrounding countryside, creating an ideal retreat, reading area or additional lounge. The master bedroom is also positioned upstairs, enjoying leafy views across the front gardens, a wall-mounted air conditioner and the convenience of its own bathroom with combined WC.
Comfort is well considered throughout, with ceiling fans and a large split-system air conditioner downstairs, while the home’s open design allows the conditioned air to flow through to the upper level.
Outside, the setting truly comes into its own. Beautifully manicured gardens surround the home, with layers of mature greenery, different textures and abundant foliage creating privacy and a wonderful sense of seclusion. Paved courtyards provide peaceful places to sit and enjoy the garden, while the rear entertaining area captures superb views across the rolling green hills beyond.
There is ample off-street parking together with a double carport, while a large powered garage and workshop provides exceptional storage or workspace. Two additional garden sheds provide further practical storage, while the laundry is neatly positioned at the rear of the home.
Life in Mount Torrens is about embracing everything that makes the Adelaide Hills so special. Spend weekends exploring nearby wineries and cellar doors, enjoy the Amy Gillett Pathway and the region’s walking and cycling trails, discover local produce and country pubs, or simply take in the peaceful scenery and surrounding townships. Local schooling and everyday conveniences are within easy reach, while the property remains approximately 40 minutes from Tea Tree Plaza and offers straightforward access towards Adelaide.
40 Townsend Street is anything but ordinary — a warm, character-filled country home where craftsmanship, individuality and an exceptional Adelaide Hills setting come together to create something genuinely special.
