Spectacular and diverse homestead offering enormous living and accommodation options. Grand character and modern quality encompass this home of up to six bedrooms, three bathrooms and so much more. Beautiful quiet location on very pretty small acreage.

LAND:
7,211m2. Located just outside the popular Adelaide Hills township of Birdwood, this property is within minutes of the local facilities which include a supermarket, hotel, medical practices and both primary and secondary schools. These amenities although close by, contradict the fabulous rural feel the property expresses as there are no nearby homes and it is adjoined by neighbouring farmland of larger proportions. The roadside appeal is highlighted by the country timber fence work along the front of the allotment along with the delightful and neat front gardens that comprise a standard rose bordered paved walkway that divides lawned sections. The mature birch tree is the first of a number of deciduous trees on the property. The red brick paving continues to the front verandah and around the home to the courtyard and outdoor entertaining area. The well formed driveway leads to the shedding facilities and has a large turn around area for easy manoeuvrability of trailers, floats etc. Out the back moss rocks help shape the rear gardens with include a lush lawn, rose garden and varieties of ornamentals that include golden elm, ash, liquid amber, birch and London plane trees. Beyond the home surrounds there are two well fenced paddocks great for keeping of animals. These paddocks have water points to them and there are numerous other water points throughout the property. Just over the northern boundary a winter creek with mature vegetation forms an attractive backdrop to this small acreage that is serviced by S.A. Water.

RESIDENCE:
Whether its one for a very large family or individual occupants, this beautiful example of historic character combined with modern innovation will impress. The original two room stone home dates back to the 1870s and some of the 130 year old features are embraced, as is all the charm into the stunningly extended and upgraded homestead. What is currently utilised as the lounge and family rooms, both have opposing stone feature walls, the lounge having an original thick red gum lentel embedded in the stonewall just above the slow combustion heater which is recessed into the ornate fireplace with jarrah mantle. Both rooms have thick quality carpets with the lounge having been wired for surround sound and featuring high skirtings and Sydney cove cornices. The home over its time has undergone as many as three extensions and now flows beautifully through a common area to a foyer and into the state of the art kitchen. The floating floors, high ceilings and neutral tones all combine to enhance the spacious feel where there is enough room for an eight seat dining suite. The facade of the cabinetry is country by orientation as is the old wood stove however the beautiful Euro 900mm stainless steel gas stove with matching built in oven, rangehood and dishwasher is what is expected of todays high quality living standards. The ample cupboards and large moveable island bench ensure there is a generous amount of storage and workspace. There are provisions for direct plumbing to the fridge and the elegant splashback tiling work rounds off this beautiful kitchen. The first of what could be many bedrooms has a recently complete ensuite and has a ceiling height of 12ft. Bedrooms two and three have either a built in or small walk in robe while other accommodation options are available of up to six bedrooms if required. The impressive main bathroom has a double sized shower alcove with drop down overhead shower rose, floor to ceiling tiling, large vanity unit, heat/light/fan combination and decorative insert floor tiles. A foyer area with large built in linen cupboard leads the way to the laundry area with built in sink and separate toilet with hand basin. From the family room, a stairwell leads to a 10m x 3m attic which was originally a large loft. This very useful room has a split system air conditioning unit fitted and serves as either a childrens playroom, extra bedroom or large storage room. The living options are greatly amplified by way of another living area that comprises a kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom. Floating floors, 2.5hp split system air conditioning unit and more are present in this section that has colonial pane French doors that steps out onto an 8m x 2m verandah. This section is ideal as either a parents retreat or guest accommodation. The home has luxury fixtures and fittings including touch glass switches. A two room dry cellar with concrete floor and built in shelving is located below the home and accessed externally and is great for storage of equipment or even some of the local quality wines produced nearby. The externals of the home are finished in heritage colours and highlighted by the eyelash front verandah.

IMPROVEMENTS:
Alongside the home is a 4m x 4m concrete layered freestanding room that is currently utilised as a gym. The perfect spot to entertain is from the 9m x 5m gabled roof pergola with paved floor. This location overlooks the gardens and farmland and is ideal for a barbecue. An outdoor sink and separate toilet are useful facilities. The shedding complex comprises a 40ft x 30ft galvanised iron and stone eight car carport with additional storage and old lean to trailer shed. The poultry run is fox proof and is large enough for other animals including dog run. An animal shelter is an old structure made from hand split timbers.

Magnificent combination of historic character and luxury modern living standards.
