This beautiful family home was constructed in 1987 by well-known local company Samalex whose building design & construction practices focus on well planned & finely detailed homes that respond with sensitivity to their sites & environments, offering a unique, exceptionally appealing hills lifestyle. In addition, an outstanding extension at the rear of the home, with input from renowned Adelaide Builder, David Cheney, was expertly undertaken in 1999 transforming the floor plan with a more contemporary design while staying sympathetic to the styling of the original home.

Hence, Stringy Bark Cottage is much more than a cottage, comprising a functional floor plan offering plenty of space & flexibility, suitable for the larger family. Strategically placed at the front of the home for peace & privacy is the excellent parents retreat consisting of a spacious bedroom with built-in robes, attractive ensuite bathroom, its own study & access to the formal lounge room with open fire place.

There is a separate entrance hall, a designated home theatre or 4th bedroom & open plan kitchen, meals, family & dining room providing the perfect components for todays family living requirements. The beautifully appointed kitchen provides a tasteful blend of old & new with rich timber cabinetry & stainless steel appliances. Bedrooms 2 & 3 both have built-in robes & are service by the main bathroom with classic federation styling & a claw foot bath taking pride of place. Outstanding characteristics that enhance the attraction of this home include high ceilings, warm timber features, a pleasant colour palate & decor throughout whilst year round comfort is provided by the slow combustion heater, ornate gas fire, open fire place & split system air conditioning.

Outside is just as impressive with a return verandah, gorgeous patio with a stone fireplace built from Carey Gully sandstone, a double carport, access to the 20 X 40m shed with ample trailer parking & a fully fenced rear garden. Set on a delightful 2088sqm landscaped allotment filled with mature trees & shrubs including camellias, rhododendrons, Japanese maple, liquid amber, silver birch, fruit trees & 100 year old Stringy Bark trees. There are formal garden beds with roses, lavender & English box hedges, along with arbors & fountains that complete this pretty setting.

The sought-after address provides a quite no through road in the quaint township of Summertown, in close proximity to local shopping at Uraidla, the Mt. Lofty Botanical Gardens, Mount Lofty Golf Club, a short drive to Stirling or Bridgewater & an easy commute to the CBD via Greenhill Road or the SE Freeway.
