55 Church Terrace

Walkerville SA 5081

Manicured and curated gardens surround the home and the modest front picket fence contrasts perfectly with the structured lines of the garden beds and grand faade.

The formal entry opens to soaring ceilings and Oak parquetry floors. The central hallway doubles as an art gallery and the striking staircase ascends to a wallpapered feature wall reaching the double height void.

The spacious primary bedroom on the ground floor overlooks the front garden. The wall of built-in robes is generous, but a peek around the corner reveals a stunning walk-in closet with ample hanging and draws. The primary suite's ensuite bathroom has a double stone top vanity, Villeroy & Boch basins, floor to ceiling tiles, underfloor heating and a generous shower alcove.

The flexible floorplan offers an imposing study with gas fireplace across the central hall and behind this, a powder room includes a shower perfect should you wish to use the study as a bedroom.

The internal access via a side corridor from the double side-by-side garage also surprises with a door to somewhere special. Down the stairs you are led to a beautiful, fully-equipped cellar and tasting room. If wine's not your thing, then use this as a teenage retreat, home theatre or games room.

The home's striking open plan living, dining and kitchen will send your eyes skyward to the lofty vaulted ceiling which catches the abundance of northern light flowing through the over-sized windows. The central kitchen is swathed in Carrara marble and the over-sized central island bench anchors the room and provides the focus for entertaining. The home's surprises continue with a hidden study and utility/storage area off the kitchen a quiet spot for homework or a home-based business. The pantry is not to be missed more a room than a pantry, the metres and metres of cabinetry and storage is staggering!

Enjoy warm winter's nights by the remote-controlled gas fire in the family room, flanked by built-in shelving and bookcases. Warmer months will have you opening the French doors to the under-cover entertaining pavilion with built-in marble-top outdoor kitchen with commercial extraction canopy above the BBQ.
Overlooking the sparkling in-ground pool, the area features ceiling fans and heaters and is split into two zones, one for dining and the other for lounging.

A stunning, beautifully established garden offers expanses of grass for children to play, tightly hedged Japanese box, vibrant privacy hedged Viburnum, mature trees, hidden vegetable garden beds, and multiple fruit trees. Structured and purposely designed the garden illuminates at night to provide a stunning back-drop and a place of serenity.

Back inside and up the wide staircase you arrive at a spacious, open plan living space. A perfect zone for children which includes built-in desks for study. There are 3 generous sized bedrooms up here, all with built-in robes and copious amounts of linen storage. There is also a pull-down ladder that leads to the roof terrace and attic storage. The family bathroom is luxurious with a full-sized stand-alone tub, double vanity and stone tops. The powder room is separate.
