'Set to Sell' - On Monday September 12th @ 12.00pm (unless sold beforehand)
This is one of the best spots in Glenalta. The entrance to the amazing playground that is the Belair National Park is at the end of the street, Belair Primary and St John’s Grammar are close, while getting to Mitcham, Unley and Adelaide city is 15-20 minutes easy!
#10 was built in 1965 with a later 70’s extension that takes this home to a whole new level. For one lucky teenager or stay-at-home-adult, it could be perfect.
Solid construction, high ceilings & timber floors are classic build features of the 60’s dwelling. And here at #10, the owners have introduced their passion for everything mid-century to create a home with a soul and personality. This great place has raised a family, entertained friends and family, and provided a certain peace and tranquillity that comes with living in this very special part of the Mitcham Hills.
The land is a beautiful 1039sqm corner allotment with a glorious backyard setting over two levels. With a sweeping frontage, a peaceful creek setting that runs along the back boundary, and sky-views to the east over the National Park, it really is hard to believe that this is metropolitan living – so connected to everything!
Inside feels right at home.
In an everyday practical sense, the owners use the backyard as their entry point to the kitchen area, while the spacious family dining area also provides a welcoming entry when it comes time to entertain.
The main living area is a beautiful big room with a window outlook at either end. It is large enough to accommodate the TV-lounge and also dining if you prefer, or just live as the owners do. There is a spot in the corner for the home computer, and they love lounging around in front of the old fire-place that is now brilliantly featured as a two-way ethanol-flamed fire!
In today’s obsession with everything open plan, it’s refreshing to experience a complete and playful kitchen area that is its own separate entity, but feels connected when you need to it be. Sure, there is potential to open it up, but here it works so well. This cool kitchen looks out to the backyard environment and welcomes the morning sun in the east, and serves the outdoor entertaining areas perfectly. A fabulous freestanding cooker has food preparation either side, there is a dishwasher, good storage and display cabinetry, great bench-space where you can seat a few stools and still room enough for a casual dining table.
The hallway separates the two main bedrooms and bathrooms from the main living areas making them feel private, while also providing a link to the studio/home-office, games room and third bedroom retreat!
Bedrooms one and two are queen-size rooms, two bathrooms feel like ensuites across the hall, there is ideally a separate toilet, and the laundry has been smartly tucked away in its own niche.
The extension to this home is an intriguing and a multi-purpose space. It is where a home-office works so perfectly, and a games room that is large enough for billiards – will function beautifully as an independent living zone to the third bedroom. Upstairs above the garage-workshop is the third bedroom that will be a treat to the young adult at home. And if it’s not needed as a bedroom, then it has many different uses for you to decide.
With internal entry to the games room and backyard access through a roller door, the workshop is ideal for the hobbyist or simply as the home-shed & storage or how about a spot for camper-trailer. And is there potential for more living space?
Home features include; ducted gas heating and split-system air-conditioning, in addition to the workshop there is a large easy access carport that will accommodate two cars.
There will be fun-times outside!
A large covered verandah and a superb barbeque area combine perfectly and complement this home in a great way. They are connected to the kitchen and games room and look out over open lawn space. And with a built-in barbeque, privacy screens, night lighting and built-in seating – imagine entertaining friends or weekends at home.
The beautiful shape to this quarter-acre allotment provides garden areas to enjoy all around the home. The kids will have a ball on the lawns down by the winter-creek, where there is plenty of room for a trampoline and a cubby-house. Old stone walls frame gardens and age-old trees provide a natural habitat for birdlife and visiting koalas, as well as a sheltered aspect come summertime. This really is what living in the amazing Mitcham Hills is all about!
What a Wonderful Opportunity this is.
