17 Cricklewood Road, Aldgate SA 5154

Concealed behind the "story book" Wistow bluestone gate awaits the most beautiful serene botanic gardens with meandering stone paths and secret nooks. Spanning nearly an acre of level, private gardens families waiting for that special position and surrounds can extend to create their dream home in the Aldgate and Stirling precincts. Professional couples will appreciate this immaculate 60's Art Deco home and the privacy and tranquility amongst the beautiful gardens.

True to its era, the home is of double brick construction, with high ceilings, tile roofing and high quality integrity from that period. The formal entry reveals the large living space with ornate plaster ceilings, recessed lighting, polished timber flooring and feature fireplace with built in energy efficient wood heater.
Leadlight features enhance a feeling of period charm. However, it's the exquisite views through the floor to ceiling windows and French doors, overlooking the front terrace to the magnificent gardens that make this home really special.

The classic European beech kitchen is of generous proportions and features large windows overlooking the gardens that would delight and inspire any aspiring chef. The kitchen has room for a café-style dine-in setting.

Both the spacious master and second bedrooms feature ensuites and ample built-in robes, further adding to the extensive laundry and hallway linen cabinetry and other much desired storage capacity that is available. Offering three bathrooms in total, two of which have had recent high quality renovations, the house has a bath, frameless showers and well-designed wet areas throughout. Beyond, the light filled third bedroom or home office/library provides a cozy second fireplace and Nectre wood heater. A Derby storage heater warms the house on off-peak, low cost electricity.

The double garage under main roof is generous in size with a remote-controlled panel lift door, and provides internal door access to the home. The house operates on an ample supply of rainwater storage, independent of mains water, and a 4.8kW capacity German engineered solar system reduces the carbon footprint while substantially lowering the costs of living for its owners.

At the rear of the home, a spacious, enclosed alfresco entertainment area provides a superb space to accommodate the whole extended family for celebrations or intimate candlelit dinners. This area has been thoughtfully created so that it can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. The slate-tiled patio terrace at the front of the home overlooks the park-like setting of mature Liquid amber trees that give the property its name, and is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great wine whilst admiring your very own picturesque gardens.

Carefully created using plants requiring minimal maintenance and positioned to suit the environment, the gardens provide a kaleidoscope of seasonal blooms and colours. A wetland 'frog bog' features water-loving yellow irises and ferns providing a sustainable habitat for a number of species of Hills native frogs and toadlets. Designed for easy and cost-effective maintenance, the lush gardens are sustained by the high capacity bore water system and integrated irrigation. Hobbyists will love the charming workshop with extended equipment area which leads to the property's own private garden nursery and service area. Set among a completely fenced 3,827sqm there is ample off street parking for a further 4 vehicles or perhaps even the caravan, boat or trailer.
