Positioned high above the valley and immersed in a canopy of established greenery, this much-loved Highbury residence offers a rare sense of peace, privacy and connection to nature. Held by the same family for more than three decades, the home occupies a prized 710sqm allotment (approx.), just a short walk to the River Torrens Linear Reserve, where sweeping valley views and tree-lined outlooks create a setting that feels worlds away from the pace of everyday life.
Built in 1973 and thoughtfully extended over time, the home has been carefully designed to embrace its surroundings. Large windows frame the landscape at every opportunity, natural light filters through the interiors throughout the day, and a series of interconnected living spaces create a home that feels warm, welcoming and remarkably adaptable to changing family needs.
LIVING SPACES DESIGNED TO EVOLVE
One of the home's greatest strengths is its flexibility.
The original floorplan has been enhanced by a substantial extension, introducing a generous third living area and spacious home office (or the fourth and fifth bedroom) where large picture windows draw the outdoors in and capture the home's beautiful natural outlooks. Whether accommodating a growing family, working from home, welcoming extended family or creating additional guest accommodation, the spaces offer an adaptability rarely found in homes of this era.
A fireplace provides a natural focal point during cooler months, creating a cosy retreat that complements the home's inviting atmosphere.
KITCHEN + EVERYDAY LIVING
At the heart of the home, the kitchen has been positioned to remain connected to everyday family life while enjoying abundant natural light from a skylight overhead.
Thoughtfully maintained and highly functional, it serves the surrounding living and dining spaces with ease, creating a central gathering place where family and friends naturally come together.
Throughout the home, large windows and carefully considered sightlines ensure the surrounding greenery remains a constant presence.
ACCOMMODATION
The accommodation is headlined by a generous primary suite complete with walk-in robe and ensuite, while two additional bedrooms provide comfortable family accommodation.
Importantly, the home's flexible layout presents opportunities to further adapt the space over time, whether through additional bedrooms, guest accommodation, studio space or multi-generational living arrangements.
OUTDOOR LIVING + ENTERTAINING
Designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons, the outdoor spaces continue the home's strong connection to its natural surroundings.
Beautifully established, low-maintenance gardens frame multiple outdoor entertaining areas, while the swimming pool is a standout feature. Overlooked by an adjoining entertaining area and bar, it creates a setting perfectly suited to summer gatherings, family celebrations or simply relaxing at home.
Private, peaceful and surrounded by greenery, the outdoor environment feels every bit as special as the home itself.
LOCATION + LIFESTYLE
Just a short walk to the River Torrens Linear Reserve, this exceptional position offers immediate access to some of Adelaide's most loved walking trails, cycling paths and open green spaces.
Despite its secluded feel, everyday conveniences remain close at hand, allowing residents to enjoy the best of both worlds. A lifestyle immersed in nature, without sacrificing connection to the city, schools, shopping and local amenities.
