Another SOLD by Carly Frost!
Get set to fall in love with the location, presence and striking features of this captivating one-of-a-kind character home, mere steps from the beach and architecturally handcrafted using striking slate and historic limestone from the local Willunga district.
Nestled amongst native greenery in the tightly held 'Aldinga Scrub', escape to this peaceful paradise that comprises spacious living, enviable entertaining and up to four generous bedrooms across two separate quarters.
Inside the main residence, soaring pitched ceilings, exposed timber beams, statement wood fire and polished slate floors add breathtaking drama to the sun-drenched living zone that flows comfortably to an updated kitchen, well-equipped with modern appliances, feature tiling and soft-close drawers.
Follow the brick staircase down to host dinner parties in the stone-clad wine cellar or create unique guest accommodations here to impress and delight.
Flaunting exquisite views from every room, even the bedrooms make a statement. Both feature timber paneled ceilings, built-in cabinetry and are serviced by a central bathroom; the master spoils with a sumptuous sunroom complete with a large bath, skylight and blissful alfresco outlook.
Work with a view from the home office that easily doubles as an extra bedroom, while versatile dual-living beckons thanks to a separate self-contained flat - with kitchenette, bathroom and private access - attached to the powered garage-come-workshop at the rear.
Outdoors, a sprawling backyard also awaits. From the bespoke timber deck woven around trees, to the charming wood stove, built-in fire pit, handcrafted table and oversized pizza oven, the scene is set for unforgettable entertaining on balmy days or beneath the stars.
Characterful implement sheds combine to deliver plenty of storage, there's ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles and pump-controlled rainwater ensures sustainable yard maintenance year-round.
And the location is as sought-after as they come. Just 400m from Aldinga's stunning drive-on beach, a 3-minute stroll from Aldinga Conservation Park, moments from the vibrant town centre with shops, schools, sporting hubs, restaurants and bars - and still under 45 minutes from Adelaide's CBD - there's so many reasons to fall head over heels.
Full of history and ready for its new chapter, a property of this calibre is unlikely to be seen on market again for many years.
