Another SOLD by Carly Frost!
Nestled amongst native bush forest on a tranquil allotment offering around 4-acres of land bordered by a spring-fed creek, this impeccably updated Circa 1880's cottage embraces contemporary living whilst preserving all of its original charm.
A convenient circular drive greets your arrival at the property with mature trees and established gardens complementing a stunning stone façade. The shady vine-trimmed verandah makes way for classic interiors and sweeping 11-foot ceilings, stylishly updated to pair modern convenience with its beautiful 19th-century heritage.
Enjoy the ambience of the stunning Farquar-designed kitchen where a wood-fired stove and exposed brick hearth take centre stage and quality SMEG stainless steel appliances offer a touch of modern luxury.
Striking Jarrah floors lure you past the triple-insulated wine/storage room on your way out to the sunlit lounge and meals area, where cosy winters will be spent around the combustion heater or soft summer breezes welcomed in through stacking French doors that open fully to reveal the stunning gardens beyond.
Two oversized bedrooms adorned by beautiful sash windows ensure restful retreat - one with its own fireplace - while the gorgeous country-style bathroom features an elegant timber vanity and exquisitely deep, clawfoot bathtub that's sure to spoil your senses.
And just a quick step away, a separate fully-contained studio or guest house awaits. Complete with a bathroom and living, it offers sanctuary and seclusion from the main home but is near enough to ensure complete connection.
Outdoors, entertain guests amongst beautifully landscaped gardens, or enjoy the spoils of your mature fruit trees while automated irrigation sourced via the nearby spring-fed creek ensures effortless upkeep. And make the most of multiple shedding options for cars and firewood - plus a huge workshop to indulge your home hobbies.
Positioned amongst lush countryside just 3 minutes from Mount Compass, this is your chance to enjoy incredible country living where all the hard work's already been done. Within easy reach of every necessary amenity, the Willunga Markets are just 10 minutes from home, you can be enjoying the cafés, restaurants, shops and soft, sandy beaches of Aldinga in under 20 minutes, and the CBD is less than an hour away, too.
Some places just make you smile and sigh 'ah, we're home'. You'll find that here.
