An endearing, extended cottage surrounded by a well-established, luscious garden overflowing with deciduous plants and flowers which can be viewed from every room.
Character features that create the relaxed, country style aesthetics of this treasured 10 main roomed home renovated in 2012 include: a dramatic vaulted dining room ceiling; timber floorboards; elegant Heritage style pendant lighting; French doors; colonial windows; a roughly hewn stone fireplace; toasty combustion heating and intricate pressed metal.
A flexible floorplan comprising of a formal entrance hall; four bedrooms including the main with an en-suite, a floor-to-ceiling built-in robe and dresser; a well-proportioned family room; a separate living room with an almost continuous row of light filled colonial windows; the dining room with a soaring high ceiling overlooked by a country kitchen; a butler's pantry and a main bathroom/laundry. A second full kitchen is located adjacent to the living room and provides the possibility of dual living.
A substantial covered and paved outdoor entertaining area (9.24m x 3.37m) with a top-notch outdoor kitchen overlooks the garden and a second entertaining pergola (2.5m x 2.7m). While east facing windows, French doors and two shady verandas provide splendid views of the scenic valley beyond and the autumnal splendour of the Adelaide Hills.
There is room to park two cars off-street at the top of the driveway of the approximate 927sqm block.
Meandering pathways lead to a modest lawn area, a workshop/garden shed with power and a concrete floor, a chicken coop with two egg laying hens (hens are included), a potting shed, veggie gardens and a cosy fire pit.
Tiny finches dart among the lush green garden foliage, while galahs and other native birds perch on-top of the Victorian style birdhouse. The breathtaking garden is overflowing with deciduous plants and flowers, a rose covered arbor, jonquils, hydrangeas, fox gloves, agapanthus, magnolias, weeping Japanese maples, delicate seaside daisies, geraniums, fig, orange, lemon and lime trees. The fertile soil on which the property stands was once a flourishing strawberry field.
Excellent shopping, cafes and restaurants, sporting grounds, community facilities, parks, reserves, walking trails, the Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens, doctors, dentists and the local hospital are within easy reach. While there is plenty of public transport to the City available from the Crafers interchange.
Stirling East Kindergarten (distance 3.7km), Crafers Primary School (distance 0.9km) and Heathfield High School (distance 5km) are public schools for which the property is zoned and are all within close proximity. There are several private schools also well-established within the local area.
The property is the epitome of picturesque Adelaide Hills living and an irresistible retreat providing an idyllic lifestyle within minutes of the quaint village of Stirling. It is very easily reached via the Heysen Tunnels and the South Eastern Freeway where there is only one traffic light right at the very bottom just passed the Toll Gate.
