Unquestionably one of the most impressive properties in the picturesque township of Aldgate in the glorious Adelaide Hills, this landmark property has a refined sense of history, unparalleled grace, style & proportion.

Steeped in history dating back to the early 1900's "Clear View" commenced its life as a two roomed cottage & received it's first extension in 1926 when an additional two rooms were added to the front, along with the wide wrap around verandahs & distinctive pillars. An additional cottage behind the main home was built in the 1920's as lodgings for newcomers to the area & has recently been utilised as superb B&B. In more recent years a respectful & graceful architectural renovation by local well known architect, Pauline Hurren, was added to the home. In 2010 another wing was added to compliment & complete this magnificent residence. Along with meticulous upkeep & improvement, this decades-old building has stood the test of time & has been much loved & adored by the current Owners.

The home features excellence in architecture with an attractive facade & exceptional interior, immaculately presented throughout with many great features harmonizing a balanced blend of classical elegance & contemporary design integrated into an effective & efficient floor plan. All the character & charm of this early century residence has been retained - high ornate ceilings, decorative cornices & ceiling roses, elaborate open fire places, timber windows & French doors with attractive lead lighting throughout. The new design has been strategically formed to suit the modern-day family offering a spacious living room which is light & bright & provides access via French doors to the impressive alfresco entertaining area. The designated dining room is easily accessible from the centrally located state of the art kitchen. A lavish parents' retreat boasts a separate sitting room & a luxurious ensuite bathroom with underfloor heating, bath, double vanity & a large shower. Completing this versatile floor plan which could be utilised in numerous ways are three additional double size bedrooms, a beautifully appointment main bathroom, laundry plus a cellar.
