Last Listing description (February 2022)

All year round, different flowers are in bloom in this home's predominantly native garden, designed by a former staff member of the Botanical Gardens, bringing birds of all colours from Sulphur-crested cockatoos to crimson rosellas, galahs to Tawny Frogmouth, to name a few that are attracted to this delightful native habitat.

A gardener will be provided periodically to help maintain the garden and gutter clearing.


Entering from the street after parking in the motorized panel-lift garage you have only one step up to the house entrance, making access a breeze through the over-sized front entrance.

Morning breakfast can be enjoyed on the expansive balcony which wraps around from the kitchen on one side to the dining room on the other, while Sulphur-crested cockatoos alight for their morning snacks on the balcony. After breakfast, enjoy morning exercise on Mount Taylor's walking trail, the access to which is only a few houses up the street, or enjoy a hot brew under the pergola looking out over the peaceful grassy courtyard that opens up from the downstairs rumpus room.

At any time of the day, the view out of the granite-transformation kitchen is graced by spectacular views of Mount Taylor on one side and a peaceful view all the way to Isaacs on the other.

Enjoy the space of this 254 square meter, 5 bedroom home, where the downstairs bedroom is the size of two average bedrooms, with wall to wall built in wardrobe and access to its own bathroom and rumpus room. Great for teenagers who want their own privacy or want to chill out with their friends without disturbing the rest of the family.
Upstairs, the dining and lounge room share similar impressive views to those of the kitchen, and are a great size for having guests over while social distancing without being crowded. The lounge is cooled in Summer and heated in Winter by a split system reverse cycle air conditioner.

The bathrooms upstairs and downstairs and the ensuite are beautifully tiled floor to ceiling, giving the home a delightful ambience.

Four of the bedrooms have wall to wall built-in wardrobes and the fifth has ample cupboard space. You will find it difficult to fill the three meter long four-door linen cupboard, the base of one of which houses the inlet for the toasty ducted gas heating system that heats the entire house when needed, except the laundry and downstairs bathroom, the latter being electric fan heated.

The main bedroom is kept cool in summer and warm in winter by a quiet reverse cycle split system air conditioner. Having large floor to ceiling windows, this bedroom is wonderfully drenched with winter sun or protected from the summer afternoon northerly sun by an insulated metal motorized blind that provides part or complete sun protection and adds to the insulation on cool winter nights.

The few small windows on the western side are protected from the westerly sun by trees along the western border of the house.

To further help reduce the electricity bills, the tenants enjoy the benefits of further savings from the feed-in tariff of the solar panels.

All of this is enjoyed in one of the quietest, most sought-after streets in Torrens, winding around the foot hills of Mount Taylor. Overall it makes an ideal home environment for a family.
