23 Fergusson Avenue

Craigburn Farm SA 5051

Very well-cared for and presented, 23 Fergusson Avenue was built in 2005 by Stirling Homes. And from the moment you step inside, the wide-open hallway seems to invite you to look through the home to a view of the 'Valley hills. There is an intriguing sense of space and calm and openness.

The traditional formal lounge and dining is an extended, open-plan living room that could be used however you like it. As an intimate lounging area in front of the gas-flamed fire, while the dining area could be perfect for a relaxing day-chair by the window, artwork or wall-furniture ... and perhaps a spot for a piano. Adjacent to the entry is a huge home-office or if required, a fifth bedroom.

The four bedrooms are upstairs. The main is a beautiful room. French doors open to a private balcony the owner just loves, ... being tucked away from the street, the outlook across the front yard gardens is a delight. There is a large and smartly concealed walk-through robe, and a fabulous new bathroom! A large walk-in shower and a deep-soaking bath together with the beautifully selected matt-tiles make it feel fresh and relaxing.
The children's or teenager bedrooms are all nice-size rooms. Two have built-in storage, they share a sparkling main bathroom and ideally a separate toilet, while a lounge or games-room retreat is a perfect complement.

By the stairwell, there is a guest toilet and a large separate vanity. Just a thought; could this be turned into an ensuite bathroom next to bedroom five? The laundry has been recently refurbished and is now a modern utility area with a practical bench that conceals the washing-machine & dryer and where there is good storage.
The main living areas are simply superb and is where this fine home really comes into its own. This open-plan space is filled with natural light with large white-framed windows that bring in the green outdoors and those surprise views! And together with high ceilings and beautiful tiled flooring, this combined living area is all set-up for practical everyday living and will be a treat when entertaining family & friends. The dining zone will accommodate the largest table setting while the family-TV zone will accommodate any lounge configuration.

The kitchen is a beauty! Black-granite benchtops contrast with gleaming white cabinetry, free of sinks and spanning a great length ... the open bench-space is quite a feature! The wet-area looks out to private courtyard entertaining; there is a plumbed double-fridge, a dishwasher and in-built microwave, pantry and excellent cupboard storage, a gas-cooktop and matching fan-forced oven ... while glass display shelves and black-handles to the cabinetry give this kitchen its cool edge.

The outdoor environment is extra special. There is a huge open entertaining courtyard private behind masonry walls, it all feels very Tuscan with established greenery and blue-skies ... and the way large paving-tiles come together with the textured brickwork that is sandstone in appearance, and the way it is connected to the kitchen and main living area through double-glass doors, makes this the perfect place to be when entertaining outdoors or simply relaxing at home.

The gardens that surround this home have been well-considered with plants, and evergreens and deciduous trees that are thriving in their environment and will change with the seasons. It takes time to establish a garden like this; where they give so much and at the same time are easy-care. There is an open lawn where kids can play safely while paved areas provide place for a table and chairs where you can relax and admire distant views through to the hills and sunsets.

It's easy to get around this beautiful 713sqm allotment. A paved driveway provides entry to a double garage that feels concealed from the street and where there is extra room in front for potentially two cars. Paved areas in front of retained gardens create gardens nooks while around the side of the home there is a freestanding sauna.

Come and make this your new home.
