270 Sturt Valley Road, Upper Sturt SA 5156

The idea that a good architect knows how to blend the man-made with the natural environment rings so beautifully true here.

By here, we mean the high side of Sturt Valley Road; one of two entry points to a picturesque 2000sqm (approx.) block and the very reason why the Sturt Valley unfolds below, before you.

To be one with this block, that architect had to consider the wild flowers, native plantings, blue wrens and koalas that call it home.

To say the choice of burnt brick was a good one is an understatement; this 3-bedroom gem looks right at home.

Inside, timber and exposed brick come and go, while natural light stays wonderfully constant. You can thank those big picture windows.

It all forms a timeless aesthetic; one that has kept here the first and only owners since the day it was built some 35 years ago.

As proud, long-term custodians, the current owners pass on the periodic upgrades that naturally come with it.

LED down lighting, NBN networking, reverse cycle heating and cooling, new double carport and loads of other additions prove that this home has grown beyond the architect's vision.

But make no mistake, the raked timber-clad ceilings, combustion fire, and brick feature wall of the starring living room personify a home with a nostalgic warmth that shouldn't be underestimated.

A semi open-plan kitchen and its adjacent family room form a versatile hub at the home's heart.

And the family room leads to the ponds, entertaining nooks, crannies and glasshouse of a rear yard that, for the architect, was the perfect canvas.

More reasons why we love this home:

- Car access to both Upper Sturt Road (from rear) and Sturt Valley Road
- Generous master bedroom with ensuite
- Built-in robes to bedrooms 1 and 3
