Description
It’s where that Country Feeling meets City Convenience.
This is a home full of life and character, and is complemented by a detached cottage-studio and a fabulous inground pool. Come and live amongst the treetops, in your very own sanctuary and appreciate the disconnect. The 3,550sqm of land is a naturally beautiful setting all the way down to the creek – it blends a bushland habitat with open areas, while out on the balcony, the elevated north facing aspect and that warm winter sunshine is an absolute treat.
Chitunga Road is a quiet link road that really services only its residents. The peaceful convenience is quite a surprise – the Eden Hills train station to Adelaide is a short and safe walk around the corner, and how fortunate to be able to live in such a heavenly environment and be so connected to a choice of schools, Flinders University and Hospital, the Tonsley Innovation precinct, Blackwood, Pasadena, and Westfield Shopping. And think of trees to the beach in less than 15 minutes - our amazing coastline, Seacliff and Brighton, is so close. Amazing!
Tucked away on the low side of the street, the original brick home was built in 1965. Driveway access is good to a huge carport – room enough for two cars and a camper-trailer. Getting in and out is easy too! And the detached cottage has its own parking bay to the side.
The front tiled verandah is a perfect home for potted greenery and provides a welcoming entry. It is also a nice spot to have a table setting for two or an outdoor chaise – escape and just be.
Inside, there is a feeling of warmth and a certain rustic charm. There is a real sense of place. High ceilings and timber flooring feature through the main living and dining room, while windows and doors that open to a large balcony deck bring in natural light. Out on the deck is really quite special and it’s hard to leave. There is room for a table setting and a barbeque, think of that warm winter sun, birdlife, peace and quiet. Bliss.
The adjacent country-style kitchen is a separate room that also feels very connected. There is good storage and a small table for two. And while the preference may be for a new kitchen down the track, this one is a perfect match for its home and will be a fun working space for years to come. It has character!
Down the hall, there are three bedrooms – two have built-in storage. The main is a huge room! It will easily accommodate a lounge or day chairs, and with plumbing available – is this the spot to create a new ensuite? The second and third bedrooms are also a very good size. The large main bathroom has a toilet and ideally, there is a second separate toilet with vanity.
Behind the kitchen, a hidden staircase introduces the lower level. An intriguing space with versatile use and abundant possibilities too! An expansive open living area with Jarrah floors combines with a private retreat, while a second bathroom with a third toilet provides a completely independent space for the stay-at-home adult or one lucky teenager or extended family. Or could this whole downstairs area be the main bedroom suite? The internal studio-workshop is perfect for the resident artist or hobbyist and with the adjacent storeroom – there is loads of potential! Create a downstairs kitchen, and this becomes two-homes-in-one.
The detached cottage is another little home. It is the ideal short-stay accommodation! And with rental accommodation in short supply, for the young adult – don’t leave home. Move next door and take advantage of independent living. Take the train, grow the veggies, swim in the pool and really make it your own! All of the cottage furniture is included in the sale too.
And a big feature, is the recently installed 7.8kw solar power system.
19 Chitunga Road presents a truly wonderful buying opportunity. It is character, environment, a place where you feel far from it all yet so connected, and it offers versatile and independent living for the growing family.
Make it Yours and never look back!
