Perched serenely atop Amber Hill is a substantial family home with so much space both inside and outside that its perfect for multi-generational or blended families - especially those who love entertaining and being immersed in the glorious sights and sounds of nature and native wildlife.
From an idyllic position alongside both the much-loved Torrens Linear Park and the beautiful Black Hill Conservation Park, the home sits on a country estate-like allotment of 3,501 square metres and provides the living space that every family craves - some 354 square metres of building area - with stunning gully views.
Just 15 kilometres from the City Centre, the land has been owned for five generations by an Athelstone pioneering family who first set up orchards and market gardens way back in 1851. So its not surprising that the home built in 1974 re-creates the welcoming feel of a country homestead. From the impressive bullnose verandah running the whole length of the frontage, you can gaze across the gully and almost reach out and touch majestic Black Hill - your neighbour in this property nestled amidst bushland tranquillity.
Of solid brick construction and fully rendered, the home delivers extensive family accommodation, with four huge bedrooms, two bathrooms plus a separate toilet, multiple living areas, sensational al-fresco entertaining, and a large office with L-shaped desk and bookcases built in - an ideal space for working from home.
The sumptuous master bedroom with en-suite is the size of two rooms, simply because thats what it used to be - just one of the alterations carried out by the original owners during their long and happy journey. Others additions include a play-room, and a tea and coffee station adjoining the expansive dining and living area - a feature the owners have found invaluable when hosting events for groups of 50 or even more.
Also making home entertaining a dream is the giant fully-covered outdoor pavilion. Accessed through bi-fold doors, this area features rich timber decking, a solid timber bar, outdoor kitchen, barbecue niche with range, and TV plus overhead projector and screen. The whole zone is equipped for year-round use with a wonderful stone open-fireplace, plus a gas heater - a sensational venue for footy nights!
Amidst the mix of both indoor and outdoor entertaining options, the homes touches of luxury are also evident. These include opulent hardwood floors made of fine-grained Tasmanian Myrtle, a spa in the main bathroom, remarkable floor-to-ceiling sliding plantation shutters, and a large entrance hall that will impress your visitors from the moment they arrive.
The hardwood timber kitchen is fitted with Meile appliances and has an adjoining butlers pantry. The reverse-cycle ducted air-conditioning system is near-new. There are also split-system air conditioners, and the lounge has a combustion heater for added winter comfort.
Outside, the grounds and yards have been beautifully maintained. Theres a two-car garage, plus undercover parking for two more vehicles. A separate off-street parking zone is adjacent to the house, and theres undercover areas for machinery. Adjoining the back yard is an old tennis court ripe for restoration or ready for any new use you might envision. This valuable parcel of land would certainly serve wonderfully for a huge marquee to host a family wedding.
This extensive family home is located only a 25 minute drive from the City, yet very much wrapped up in the lush greenery and natural beauty of the Adelaide Foothills. Its a property where youll be proud to welcome visitors in large groups or small, and watch your children grow up with vast spaces to play while interacting with native wildlife - from koalas to kangaroos, and even the occasional echidna!
Here on Amber Hill the Foothills vistas are matched only by the view to the wonderful future you can create, as you write brand new chapters for an outstanding property steeped in 168 years of Athelstones rich local history and picturesque surroundings.
