An impressive architectural design, soaring ceilings, an abundance of natural light and breathtaking panoramic views combine to create a truly special lifestyle opportunity in one of Willunga's most tightly held and prestigious locations.
Positioned at the top of High Street on the highly regarded Saint Matthews Street, this remarkable property occupies an elevated 1,041m² corner allotment, surrounded by other quality homes in a peaceful no-through road setting. From this enviable position, spectacular views stretch across the historic township, over the picturesque Willunga Basin and all the way to the ocean in the distance.
Originally constructed in the mid-1970s, the home showcases a striking split-level architectural design that has stood the test of time. Soaring ceilings reaching approximately five metres, expansive picture windows and an impressive sense of space create an immediate and lasting impression.
From the moment you step inside, the home's unique design becomes apparent. The dramatic ceiling heights and clever use of different levels create a wonderful feeling of openness, while an abundance of natural light enhances the home's character and inviting atmosphere.
The upper level accommodates three bedrooms, including a generously proportioned front bedroom complete with its own ensuite bathroom, split system air conditioning and access to a substantial adjoining room. This versatile space could easily serve as a dressing room, home office, creative studio or private parents' retreat.
Bedrooms two and three are positioned further along the passage and are serviced by a neat conventional bathroom and separate toilet. A designated study nook and a quirky converted laundry room add further flexibility to the floorplan.
On the lower level, a substantial room currently utilised as a separate lounge was originally designed as the main bedroom. Complete with an adjoining updated bathroom, this space offers excellent versatility, with large picture windows perfectly framing yet another sensational outlook.
The real centrepiece of this home, however, is the magnificent open-plan living and dining area.
Enhanced by the soaring ceilings, generous proportions and extensive glazing, this impressive space captures the very essence of the home's architectural appeal. Natural light pours through the large windows, while double glass doors beautifully frame the panoramic views and connect seamlessly with the expansive rear entertaining deck.
A slow combustion wood heater and dual split system air conditioners ensure year-round comfort, making this an equally inviting place to gather during the cooler months or simply relax and enjoy the ever-changing scenery.
The adjoining kitchen offers excellent cupboard storage, generous timber benchtops and quality stainless steel Bosch appliances, including a wall oven, gas cooktop, rangehood and dishwasher. A double farmhouse-style sink with filtered water tap adds a touch of character, while the magnificent outlook ensures even the everyday tasks come with a view.
Stepping outside, the substantial rear deck is protected by an all-weather pergola and provides what can only be described as an exceptional outdoor entertaining space.
Whether hosting family and friends, enjoying a quiet morning coffee or unwinding with a glass of local wine as the sun sets over the distant coastline, this is a setting that will never lose its appeal.
The deck overlooks an expansive, well-fenced rear lawn, offering plenty of room for children and pets to enjoy. Established, easy-care gardens surround the home, while a dedicated vegetable garden, rainwater tank and garden shed provide additional practicality.
There is side access to the rear yard, and the generous corner allotment provides ample off-street parking options from both the front and side of the property.
As impressive as the home and its outlook undoubtedly are, the lifestyle afforded by this outstanding location is equally compelling.
Willunga has long been regarded as one of South Australia's most desirable historic townships, celebrated for its wonderful sense of community, charming streetscapes and relaxed village atmosphere.
With an excellent selection of cafes, restaurants, local pubs, quality schooling options, sporting clubs and community groups, Willunga offers a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly sought after.
Positioned on the doorstep of the internationally renowned McLaren Vale wine region, just 10–15 minutes from some of South Australia's finest beaches and less than an hour from Adelaide's CBD, the location provides an exceptional balance of country charm, coastal convenience and city accessibility.
A substantial allotment, distinctive architectural character, soaring ceilings and truly spectacular views make this an opportunity that deserves serious consideration.
Properties offering this combination of space, position and lifestyle are rarely available, particularly in such a highly regarded pocket of Willunga.
An inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, character and remarkable outlook that make this property so special.
