Tall poplars line the driveway and lead to the north facing home.
The front entrance leads to the original rooms of the home that are now utilised as open plan formal sitting and dining rooms. Gorgeous features with original timber floorboards, diamond leadlight windows and the beautiful wallpaper adorned fireplace which now accommodates a cosy combustion heater. A captivating space where the adults can relax and entertain.
The master suite is resplendent in natural light from the big windows and French doors that lead to the front verandah. Adjacent ensuite, dressing room and study makes the area private for the parents. Perfect work from home flexibility as the study also has French doors offering direct access to the verandah.
As featured in House and Garden and Adelaide Matters, the open plan kitchen, dining and family room is just perfect. The renovation was undertaken about 5 years ago to create a large living area with north facing windows. Texture and colour has been celebrated in the JAG kitchen featuring an expansive asymmetrical Corian benchtop and two-pack cupboards, stainless steel electric oven, gas cooktop and Miele dishwasher. Under floor heating warms the northern box timber flooring to combat the Hills winters. Providing a reminder of the home's heritage is an original stone wall which has been retained as a feature and contrasts well against the modern face of the kitchen.
Children's retreat is adjacent which provides some extra space for the children to have their own play area, study or television area.
We believe your children will love their new bedrooms. Both offer built-in robes and if you have a daughter she will love the wallpaper feature wall and floating curtains. As you can imagine the soft furnishings throughout the home are of top quality and very stylish.
Both bedrooms for the children are generously proportioned and enjoy the outlooks from the big picture windows over the garden.
Fully tiled family bathroom also features Corian vanity. Adjacent laundry leads directly outside for ease of access and has an abundance of floor to ceiling space.
Mains water is available to the property although 22,000 gallons of rainwater is gravity fed to the home and meets the domestic requirements for most of the year.
For the past 13 years, the current owners, when they are not playing host to family and friends and cooking up a storm in the kitchen, can be found relaxing in the garden. Their favourite aspect is most certainly of the valley views they admire. Outdoor areas have been created to maximise and follow the sunshine throughout the day. One space is on top of an old turret when a cellar underneath was the old drying room for the orchard that once dominated the land. Many fruit trees still remain to be enjoyed including apples, plum, pear, nectarine, walnut, lemon, grapefruit and chestnuts!
For those who enjoy the outdoors and love to garden, you won't be disappointed with this treasure trove of trees including a massive oak, copper beech, century old holly, colourful camellias and rhododendrons to name a few.
The outdoor area adjacent to the family room is paved and privately screened with a Magnolia Little Gem hedge.
If you have a handyman, tradesman or someone who likes to work from home, the garaging and workshop facility will be a real bonus. This area also has an air conditioned office area.
With the added benefit of being situated within walking distance to schools and the Aldgate Village, all the joys of the cosmopolitan hills can be enjoyed.
