Privately retreating into its generous 1,345sqm parcel and wrapped in the native embrace of majestic gums, this C1970 mid-century residence sits gracefully among the treetops - offering a magnetic retreat just footsteps from the wonders of Belair National Park.
True to its design roots, this split-level ranch-style home beams with as much architectural character as it does everyday comfort, where raked ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and natural textures create a fluent dialogue between inside and out.
Five bedrooms - two with ensuites - provide a flexible family footprint, while open-plan living and dining zones flow seamlessly to an elevated entertainer's deck, seemingly suspended above the canopy and overlooking the shimmering saltwater pool and reserve below.
Original hardwood floors, a combustion fireplace, and thoughtful modern updates - including a treetop master retreat added in 2011 - ensure both soul and sophistication in equal measure. And with ample storage, a plumbed rainwater system, and under-deck utility zones, this home is as practical as it is picturesque.
Whether you're basking in the sun on the deck listening to birdsong, frolicking in the pool with the kids, or taking a stroll through the neighbouring national park trails, this is a home that allows you to slow down and stay connected - to nature, to community, and to what truly matters.
Offered for the first time in 22 years, this tightly-held Glenalta sanctuary captures the very best of hills living - with city convenience, coastal escapes, and wine country all at easy reach
