Perched on the side of hill among native trees and affording pleasant views of the city and Adelaide plains this stone-built home has presided proudly over 2000 square metres of land since 1952. Needing some work to bring it up-to-date, the home has 3 bedrooms and one bathroom, and there is also a fourth bedroom and second bathroom in a separate structure behind the main home. A large terrace at the front of the home lends itself well to outdoor entertaining but can equally serve as a quiet place to sit and take in the natural environment that Eden Hills is famous for.

Outdoors
The large outdoor terrace at the front of the home is typical of grand 1950s design and is a perfect place for hosting outdoor parties in the warmer months. The remainder of the garden space is a blank canvas for you to landscape as desired. The large lawn area comes back to full green in winter but has been left to lay dormant in summer to conserve water.
Other useful features
The home has recently had roller-shutters installed on all the windows, ideal for lock up and leave if you go on holidays, not to mention security and thermal insulation.

Your opportunity
This home and the substantial plot of land that it rests on presents many options for the new owner. The home is comfortable to live in as it stands but does offer the option of updating to add more value. There is also the option of re-building your dream home, noting that a second storey is likely to provide uninterrupted views of the city (stcc). Currently the home has views of the city that filter through the small trees that line the boundary of the land, these trees are not large, and their removal will improve the views considerably. This lovely property is a peaceful sanctuary in one of Adelaides most tranquil suburbs.
