8 Arkaba Road, Aldgate SA 5154

From the very moment you arrive at 'Peacepoint' you will discover a truly tranquil place to call home.

Established botanic style gardens on over 3,200 square metres of land embrace the gracious, character residence that exudes all the charm and warmth of red brick, bluestone and weatherboard.


The Residence:

Rich hardwood floors lead you from the formal entrance to the heart of the home, where the lovely, light-filled family room is centered around a wood-fired combustion stove and showcases large picture windows that provide a commanding, yet private outlook to the superbly landscaped gardens below.

Comprising up to four bedrooms, three bathrooms and three undercover parks, the home provides flexible living options. The northern end of the home offers a spacious master suite with lovely picture windows, creating the ideal parent's retreat. A formal dining room with intimate garden views to the front of the property is adjacent the staircase, providing access to the lower level housing a large store, cellar, laundry and a very handy third bathroom.

There's a further three double bedrooms, two with built in robes, all serviced by a spa bathroom and separate W/C. Cleverly designed to alternatively serve as 'bed and breakfast' accommodation, hallway bi-fold doors allow this section of the home to be separated from the main living areas, creating a self-contained guest suite that includes an independent, ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning and hot water systems. With separate entry from outside and a built-in breakfast bar, bedroom four seamlessly transforms to become the perfect lounge room.

Equipped with European appliances, including 900mm, 5 burner gas cook top and dishwasher, the gourmet kitchen showcases solid timber finishes and a large butlers pantry, providing plenty of storage and work space, making entertaining a breeze. A brilliant decked and covered outdoor entertaining area enjoys a northerly aspect, setting the scene for the largest of gatherings with family and friends.

Virtually every room enjoys beautiful views over the myriad of mature exotic trees and shrubs in this ever-changing environment, providing a kaleidoscope of colours with the changing of the seasons.


The Grounds:

The expansive grounds are studded with mature deciduous trees and exotic plantings with meandering pathways, water ponds and lawned terraces, elegantly bordered by Kanmantoo stone drywall retainers.

The neatly graveled and private entrance entices you to drive in where you will discover the extensively paved driveway that takes you further down and to the right, where there's undercroft parking for three cars, or to the left where you are led toward the rear of the property where further undercover parking is facilitated by an over-sized double carport.

Lovingly and professionally landscaped, the entire property offers an abundance of delightful 'garden rooms'. Ornate, textured paving leads you through a romantic wisteria-covered arbor and down the stone paved steps to the gracious lawned area and beyond to an intimate wrought-iron gazebo. Explore further still and discover the miniature bridge spanning a winter creek that feeds a quaint duck pond.

The garden is the perfect place to lose yourself, reconnect with nature and enjoy its beauty and serenity, making it the most romantic and peaceful place to inspire adults and an exciting adventure playground in which children can thrive.


The Surrounds:

'Peacepoint' is strategically located a short stroll, or just a minutes drive, to the quaint and much sought after village of Aldgate, where you'll discover the landmark Aldgate Pump Hotel, delightful cafés, shopping, and community services.

Only a few minutes to Stirling and the South Eastern freeway whilst the city bus route is barely 200m away from the front door.

Close to Stirling East Primary, Aldgate Primary and Hills Montessori schools and situated within the ever-popular Heathfield High School zone.
