Description
Springwood Close feels like a secret. A prestigious subdivision tucked away privately at the very bottom of Eden Hills. There are no overhead power lines in Springwood Close and no through-traffic.
It is where a lush and peaceful enclave of house-proud homes complement each other, and where at the end of the street – you can access the amazing environment of the Shepherds Hill Recreation Park. Think of the kids and their bikes, walking the dog, exercise in the morning or a destress at the end of your day. It is simply a fortunate and wonderful place to have as your everyday.
Position is one thing, but what about the location! Flinders University and Hospital and the Tonsley Innovation Precinct are so convenient, getting to Brighton and Seacliff beach is 12 minutes, while metro Adelaide – is all just there! And not to forget, the north-south corridor – a day trip to our southern Vales and the Fleurieu has never been easier.
5 Springwood Close is the original Ragless Farm House. A character Bungalow – Circa 1915, that lives on a beautiful 1641sqm of land, and with a natural winter creek setting that defines the back boundary. For the most part, the land is a flat shaded garden setting with room to move, and then a lower escarpment of greenery is a quite a surprise! The kids will love it.
Behind a brush fence, a gated pedestrian entry brings you to the original front porch. Dry stone walls frame rich green gardens that run along the boundaries, and together with established trees they combine to create that secluded feeling! This fine old Bungalow is certainly in its environment.
Over the other side, driveway entrance is through an automatic gate to a large paved carport where there is plenty of room for two or three cars, and entry points around the back of the home.
Inside, the home and floorplan may appeal to a variety of buyers. It is spacious and versatile and different in a good way – it’s not symmetrical! It is a family home first, but could also appeal to couples searching for something unique and of-its-own. It is a floorplan that will provide areas of retreat, where you can live and entertain, and where you can work-from-home.
Altogether, there are three or four bedrooms and two bathrooms, and three independent living areas.
As is the case with most Bungalow homes, the original four room dwelling has grown over the years with several extensions. It is a home today, but with an eye to the future – it has abundant potential! If you love character and the great outdoors, and appreciate this amazing location and position, and have a desire to make a home your own – 5 Springwood Close presents an incredible buying opportunity.
- The original entry opens to a large lounge room that has been used as a main bedroom. Beautifully polished Baltic Pine and Jarrah timber floors are a spectacular feature, while high ceilings with ornate detailing and an open fireplace invoke that olde-worlde charm. A study or library nook complements this room.
- There are two bedrooms in the Bungalow. Both are big rooms with built-in storage and polished Baltic Pine floors.
- There is a central lounge area. This room has a combustion heater and built-in shelving, and while it is a room to retreat to, it is also a connecting room between the old and new. There is a door that could be reopened to the kitchen area too.
- Beautiful long benches feature in the galley style kitchen. It has a freestanding 5-ring gas burner cooking range, a dishwasher, microwave hutch, and room for a double-fridge. Plus, there is an external door to the side of the home, and extra storage.
- In a separate wing, there is a bedroom with an adjacent study/TV room. And a separate laundry, bathroom and toilet.
The TV/Living room has access to the carport through sliding glass doors.
- Especially appealing is the huge open plan living room! A great space and a modern room of polished concrete. The angled skillion roof line gives it that contemporary edge, while a wall of window brings in the outdoor environment. There is a gas-fire and highlight windows that will bring in the north sun. It is a fabulous room that will easily accommodate; lounge-living-dining and even a billiards table.
- For year-round comfort, there is ducted reverse cycle air conditioning throughout, and no concerns over rising power prices with a 6.0 kW photovoltaic system.
The outdoor environment is full of green shade, open lawn areas and wandering gardens – it is quite a delight. The gardener will love it as much as the resident blue wrens, and dare we say it – there is also huge potential! There is easy potential for a pool and perhaps a detached studio. There are storage sheds, a garden-potting shed, rainwater tanks, and raised vegetable gardens. A paved outdoor entertaining area is the perfect spot for a large table undercover, and is where weekends at home with a barbeque will be an absolute treat!
