A sprawling, generous, split-level home of immense warmth.
What a wonderful place for the kids. A land holding of approximately ? an acre with plenty of room to run and chase. And with breathtaking twinkly light views through the trees. The modern architect designed home (c1986) sits comfortably on the large allotment - a deceptive fa?ade gives no hint of the vast living areas inside. This is a home that you truly need to inspect to appreciate. There are 3 double bedrooms plus a study. There is a full family bathroom, a 2nd bathroom (as en-suite to the main bedroom) and a powder room. A hideaway downstairs acts as a 2nd study, cellar or studio, children's play room or teenage retreat. You will love entertaining al-fresco on the big wide deck. Views take in the leafy back yard and the distant lights of Adelaide. There is a retractable shade sail. But, undoubtedly, the most impressive feature of the home is the breathtaking amount of space in the open plan living rooms. A split of formal and informal, of upper and lower levels, overlooked by the open, galley style kitchen, with long views within the house and to the outside grounds. Soaring raked ceilings add to the supreme sense of space. There is oodles of room to entertain friends and family. You can warm these areas with either the combustion stove or the open heat-form fire place or the (reverse cycle) air-conditioners. The vast walls of glass are double glazed (Magnetite) to keep internal temperatures under control - warm in winter and cool in the summer heat. There is plenty of scope to grow your own vegetables - have your own kitchen garden. There is ample water too. Two large rain water tanks are linked to the house (total storage 32,500 litres) in addition to mains water. Great storage for boys' toys - double garage attached to the house and a huge 7500 x 7500 shed with lighting, power, water and concrete floor. The wood shed has a supply of fuel for the fireplaces. This is a property of great character and proportion. It's only a few minutes from the shopping and restaurant precinct of Magill. It is in the catchment zone for Norwood /Morialta High School, and is blessed with an aura of real tranquillity. We commend it to you.
