Aldgate SA 5154

Originally built in 1993 by Architect Greg Butcher, this home of Hebel construction has graced the covers of 'SA Homes' and 'Architect Designed Houses'. It's bold design fits with such harmony within its' surrounds and it has effortlessly evolved so that todays ideals of style are still current.
From a curiously simple front entrance, the moment you step inside you know you're in a special place. The kitchen is hearty, big and has everything you need... plenty of storage, dual hideaway fridge/freezer, ASKO dishwasher, enormous Smeg oven, 5 burner gas stove, the microwave and kettle have their own roller doors to keep the streamline look and comfort plus with under floor heating (also in en-suite).
The full double story height ceiling is spectacular, enhanced by a huge triangular bay window, jutting out into the garden under a Linden Tree, making this a favored sunny spot to relax and unwind.
A large fan forced combustion heater stands within a tiled surround, warms the whole home during the Winter months with ease complemented by the high tech new ceiling fans to ensure the warmth upstairs and downstairs.
The master bedroom is on the lower level, with walk in robe, en-suite and bath. Plantation blinds are fitted on the windows looking through to garden views or direct access to the tiled salt chlorinated swimming pool that is solar heated and only 12months ago fitted with a new pump.
A study or Bedroom 4 is also on the lower level, again with direct access to the pool.
Upstairs, this is where credit is due to the Architect! Incredible lines, angles, porthole windows, all working harmoniously together creating light, interest and good usable space. Bedrooms 2 and 3 have built in robes and the bathroom with pitched roof and frameless shower screen is of generous proportion. On this upper level, with huge second living room, is the perfect place should you be looking to keep all the kids toys, games and lets face it... 'mess' which is totally out of sight from entertaining opportunities downstairs. Otherwise, what inspiration one could get if this were an artist space or home office!
Outside, the pool is so inviting, enclosed with frameless glass and the deck is where many a BBQ's will undoubtedly continue to be had!
For your furry friends, there is a secure enclosure to keep dogs away from guests if need be and over half the property is 'Chihuahua proof'.
A glorious garden, lots of dapple shade and very low maintenance as it's all established. The rambling feeling is what makes it special, whilst still offering flat areas to kick a soccer ball or keep a trampoline.
All in all, a unique home, in a brilliant location!!
