In a quiet and secluded off-street enclave on 1008sqm of English-inspired cottage gardens is a find of a lifetime within enviable reach of Adelaide's most elite private schools.
Half enchanting chalet, half tranquil tree house, this whitewashed 4-bedroom home holds timeless character, exposed timber beams, a feature stone-clad open fire, and a giddying 6-metre high ceiling peak above its 2 spacious levels.
A 1970s double brick design for the young family or young at heart, whether you modernise the freshly repainted home or immerse yourself in its cottage serenity.
Solar powered and secure, its slated entry foyer opens to a garden view - a recurring theme throughout it seems - you'd be forgiven for forgetting the city is just 7km away...
Open plan living hosts that stunning open fire set to blaze all winter long, and to the rear, French doors find a north-facing wisteria-clad pergola.
Claiming the sunny east wing is the casual meals - big enough for TV time - and a refurbished kitchen offering white Corian benchtops, a Miele dishwasher, Smeg stainless wall oven, loads of cabinetry, and direct access to the dual carport.
Auto-irrigated grounds provide great exploration for the kids as retained stone walls and fruiting, flowering, and raised garden beds echo the sentiment of its historic Carrick Hill neighbour.
Upstairs, 3 bedrooms - 2 with sliding robes, all with fans, raked ceilings, and treetop views - are served by a neat, retro bathroom you can better, perhaps incorporating its "Wallflower" stained-glass.
And that's the beauty of this place; with a downstairs master, it too with sliding mirrored robes and an ensuite with bidet, upstairs is entirely optional.
Talking options, meet your location: Mitcham and Highgate Villages, Seymour, Mercedes and Scotch Colleges, and Carrick Hill Drive's exhilarating pinnacle for McElligott Quarry Reserve's city and coastal vistas.
For lifestyle, character, and the chalet life in Springfield class, you've found it.
