Set below street level to hush the passing world and make its far-reaching rear outlook feel like a deep exhale, this immersive Hills home breathes new life into that classic 1970s split-level design on some 1,920sqm where Coromandel Valley edges Minno Creek.
An interior designer's touch gives its seventies spirit a sophisticated new expression, bringing tactile warmth and mid-century flair to a three-bedroom home that lives expansively, entertains amongst the trees and makes its original architecture worth falling for all over again.
A procession of arches draws the eye between living zones, pops of green take their cue from the treetops and timber-look laminate floors meet wall panelling and wool carpets in a home that puts as much thought into how it feels as how it looks.
Those small changes in elevation make a substantial difference, giving the expansive living spaces their own purpose and perspective while keeping conversation flowing between the kitchen, dining zone and combustion-warmed lounge.
Dark shaker-style cabinetry gives the kitchen its mood, balanced by the warmth of timber benchtops, a windowful of greenery and a breakfast bar that keeps the cook in good company.
The under-floor-heated bathroom deserves a moment of its own, pairing earthy zellige feature tiles and a bespoke sconce with a freestanding bath and skylit walk-in shower, bringing the renovation's mid-century sensibility to its most indulgent expression.
Outside, the new covered deck extends the living space towards that far-reaching outlook, making room for a tableful of friends, another bottle and the satisfying absence of any reason to head back inside.
Beyond it, sweeping lawns and established trees give the parcel room for exploration, while extensive off-street parking and drive-through rear access ensure the practical side of Hills life has been thought through too.
With schools, sporting facilities and Blackwood's shopping precinct close by, plus access to bus and train services, Flinders University, its medical precinct and Westfield Marion, retreating into the landscape comes without the usual isolation. You're home.
