Aptly named 'The Church', this is certainly 'not your average home' and was built with much thought and consideration as well as a desire to re-create the character of an earlier era. The effect is immediately stunning as you step inside the authentic entry 'vestibule' to this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, light-filled, red brick home on about an acre (2 titles).
This inspiration to build this unusual family home was based on a circa 1900 church in country Victoria.
The Adelaide Hills semi-rural setting is peaceful, very private and perfect for young families, just a few minutes walk to the Nairne oval and golf course.
With 3 living areas, the home features handmade Mexican terracotta tiles from Country Floors, all-natural coir carpets, 9 metre cathedral ceilings with exposed oregon beams, baltic pine custom-built floor-to-ceiling cupboards in the rear hall, original Victorian-era doors including a 'split-door' from the Grays Inn Hotel in Mt Barker, a back door with lead-light window and Art-Deco 'tulip' steel screen door.
A huge French Provincial style lime-washed kitchen overlooking the open-plan lounge and dining area is the heart of the home. A sun-soaked family room takes advantage of the Northerly aspect, overlooking the deck and opening through glass doors out to the garden. A "Nectre" slow-combustion heater warms upstairs and the entire main living area effortlessly. In the warmer months the ceiling fans and reverse cycle split-system air-conditioner keep you cool.
The floor plan is versatile and sound-insulated self-contained living areas are a possibility for teens or extended family. The mezzanine playroom opens from two of the bedrooms, creating more space for easy living.
Outside, ancient red gums provide a wonderland of imagination for children and there is a tree house with slide and 'fireman' poles, bike tracks and a magical garden to explore.
A wide verandah is the ideal place to enjoy a BBQ and the idyllic cottage garden outlook. The fenced winter dam can provide extra water for the garden, supplementing the 23,500 gallon concrete "Rocter" rainwater tank, with an additional 5,000 gallon overflow tank - free, crystal-clear rainwater pumped to the house.
There is a large 12m x 6m shed with concrete floor, power and double sliding doors plus two storage/hobby rooms with close access to the house, parking for two cars in the driveway, and the 'farm gate' allows access to the lower part of the property. The home also has solar power.
Abundant birdlife including cockatoos, galahs, kookaburras, rosellas and blue wrens can be enjoyed here on this undulating allotment, surrounded by pastures with horses, sheep, cattle and kangaroos.
Just a 30-40 minute drive to Adelaide CBD (less with new Nairne freeway exit) and 10-15 minutes to Mount Barker, this unique family home is one in a million.
