It's simply impossible to believe that this 1925-built bungalow - with an inspired top-to-toe reinvigoration and just under 20 idyllic acres at its beckon call - sits just 15 minutes from suburban Adelaide.
By 'idyllic', we mean the kind of green pastures, rolling valleys, triumphant ridges, and trickling winter creeks that conjure images of the Tuscan countryside. It's all yours.
And by 20 acres, we mean a country paradise as far as the eye can see and enough room to dwarf two charming original cottages, 4-bay implement shed and much more.
And you can soak it all up from a three-bedroom sandstone home headlined by a grand return verandah and original period features that have been preserved with precision to sing amongst a wide hall, three double bedrooms, a large formal lounge, second lounge/study and a dynamic country kitchen.
With the help of a keen eye for style, the kitchen - boasting an Essastone-topped island bench, subway tile splashback, locally hand-made timber cabinetry and a black Smeg 'Victoria' oven - gives a stylishly sympathetic wink to the matching lofty (3.5m) decorative ceilings, original fireplaces, robust timber architraves and matte finished timber floorboards found throughout.
Meanwhile, the converted double garage is a masterstroke in design and flexibility, where weekend guest or independence-craving teenagers can now enjoy the fruits of a secluded studio and ensuite. Think more subway tiles, concrete floors, modern down lighting, and those awe-inspiring views...of your private paradise in Piccadilly.
More reasons why we love this home:
- Just five minutes from Stirling and Aldgate
- New ducted reverse cycle heating and cooling throughout, plus combustion wood fires to both lounge rooms
- Original fireplaces to all bedrooms, plus hand-built storage in master (to match kitchen)
- Native scrub on the ridge with views of your own paddock and the Piccadilly Valley beyond
- Bore with exceptional spring water and 3-phase power to gravity tank for distribution to entire property
- Rainwater storage and irrigation to grounds
- Loads of shedding, including 4-bay shed with lean-to and enough room for your boat, caravan and farm machinery
- New tiles and tapware to upgraded two-way bathroom
- The 'Taj Mahal' of chook pens
- And so much more.
