20-22 Heather Road, Aldgate SA 5154

Once an Adelaide Hills summer home, 'Birchgrove' stands today as the pinnacle of transformations on two valuable titles and just over an acre of land bound by award-winning gardens.

Years after receiving its accolades, those gardens are undeniably even more enchanting alongside a substantial solid brick, 4-bedroom home that was extended and upgraded with precision and flair to bring the outside in at every turn.

Now, almost every flawless room inhales the soul-soothing array of cedars, elms, rhodendrons, azaleas, camellias, ponds, nooks, crannies and stone-masoned dry walls that saw this quintessential Hills garden and low-maintenance oasis feature on Burke's Backyard.

Striking an impressively elegant figure, the pristine sandstone fronted façade typifies the workmanship and commitment to quality in a home that was essentially doubled in size to offer colossal open-plan living and newfound freedom for enviable entertaining.

So well executed is the open-plan extension - headlined by matching Jarrah floors and designer kitchen boasting Caesarstone tops, European appliances and butler's pantry - that the transition from original to new is impossibly seamless.

Warmed by an open fire and enhanced by bundles of natural light, the huge formal lounge/dining room is a worthy prelude to a double-sized master bedroom with built-in robes and ensuite; and a wing dedicated to three bedrooms and your kids.

When Christmas comes, serve your banquet under a rotunda with distant valley views - in between courses, explain how the formal sunken garden and formal pond were hand-dug; or how the ancient Japanese Weeping Elm provided welcome shelter in summers gone by. After all, this is a treasure with a story to tell.
