It doesn't take much for the 1970s architectural purist to see the untapped potential of this truly unique home etched into the natural beauty of its Belair no-through enclave.
This elevated, wonderfully wide home is the last stop on The Ridgeway, ensuring its separate rumpus and surrounding deck seemingly hovers over a lush, mini gully.
It's a fitting backdrop for what was an ambitiously built 4-bedroom home defined by its sweeping low-pitched roofline, soaring raked ceilings, prolific use of timber and glazing that inhales light, garden and sky at every opportunity.
Stuck in its nostalgic original state, the astute renovator will see diamonds amongst its rough edges, including its sunken lounge, timber feature panelling and vintage bathrooms.
The floorplan also hasn't changed - and for good reason thanks to its ability to separate the bedrooms and designated study form the vast semi open-plan living zone in the opposing wing.
A walk-in robe and ensuite confirms the bones to this ultra-practical home are already in place.
A carport joins the main residence to that retreat, its 180 degrees of grazing and a sculptural steel staircase that spirals down to a lower level, albeit in need of some flooring.
For those who see a brand new build instead of a rewarding reno, the level section on which the home sits makes it an option worth considering.
And it all sits within a pause of Blackwood's beating heart, walking trails, Scotch College, St John's Grammar School and a CBD that feels so much further away than it actually is. There's something special about this one.
