3 Monash Avenue, Belair SA 5052

This unique three bedroom home in Belair combines modern touches with an overall look that is at the same time fresh and familiar - modernism at its best. The house is spacious, yet it only takes up a small portion of the large 1,447sqm approx lot, giving you plenty of front and backyard space, boasting beautiful views of the surrounding private valley. Mature landscaping, trees and shrubs obscure the neighbouring homes from view, giving you plenty of privacy.

After ascending the sloping driveway, you'll arrive at the front of the home. A gentle flight of stairs leads up to the covered front porch. From the moment you walk in, you'll feel instantly at home, thanks to elements such as wood-panelled ceilings and modernist brick walls. To keep the look from getting too heavy, the main living space is flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, letting in plenty of natural light throughout the day. This open space incorporates both the lounge and dining area.

The kitchen looks down to the living area below and into the valley. The kitchen is compact, yet functional, as it includes a pull-out counter for additional prep space or casual dining. You'll also find dual Miele ovens and Cannon hot plates. From the kitchen, you can venture out to the rear patio, which boasts plenty of space for outdoor dining and entertaining plus a service area for easy access to the house.

This home includes three bedrooms, master with walk-in dressing room. All of the bedrooms are generous in size and incorporate floor-to-ceiling windows for an open, airy feel.

The house captures modernism with its clean lines and simplicity. Large windows allow large light filled spaces.

The simplicity is highlighted by interesting textures including detailed timber internally as well as finishes of brick and tiles. During the build only one bricklayer was engaged to give continuity and clean finishes.

At all times the owners monitored the build to retain authenticity with the objective of building a sophisticated peaceful home, well in advance of its time.

The owners have maintained the house and updated with integrity to the original concept. New appliances, blinds and fittings have been chosen to support the design principles. The original concepts of cross ventilation and natural light have been maintained. At all times the peaceful ambience is enjoyed. Whether by a fire in winter or the stunning sunsets down the valley all year round.

Over many years the garden has been established to complement the house and be low in maintenance. Plants have been selected to give colour and highlight specific areas. The site is serviced by an extensive drip system supported by micro sprays for the ground covers. At all times the Japanese principle of "the house stops when the garden stops" is maintained. Oriental hints such as off the main bedroom add to the serenity of the house.

Windows capture both long and intimate views from the kitchen. Privacy and light is allowed in the bathroom by using a private courtyard. There is seamless indoor/outdoor living.

The owners chose the site as it offered a very private environment while being close to amenities. Nearby university campuses and medical facilities are well developed. Major colleges including Scotch and Mercedes are close by. St Johns Grammar is within walking distance.

Local shopping and transport is within walking distance. Mitcham and Blackwood shopping centres are also close by as is Marion.

Set 11kms from the Adelaide CBD and beaches this is a unique opportunity. This home offers high quality standards, peace, privacy and at all times the sense of living in an elegant holiday house.

A creative charm and connection of space will embrace the new owner.
