Set in a fantastic location just 300 metres to the beautiful Torrens linear park, and surrounded by quality homes built much later on some of its original market gardening land lies this high quality renovated and updated, but nevertheless historic home representing a significant part in the history of the food bowl for the early settlers of Adelaide. With its tall brick chimneys, sweeping verandas and beautiful gardens, the home makes a fine statement from the street, but it is upon closer examination of the finer details that a true appreciation for the craftsmanship and toil represented through both the structure and integrity of the home and environs that the history and romance of this property truly impresses. The property was apparently named Hillview by the Emery family who purchased the mid 1800's property in the early 1930's and worked it for 60 years as a highly productive farm, producing some of the best celery and other vegetables grown anywhere at the time. With grand four metre tall ceilings decorated with ornate pressed tin, attractive Baltic Pine and other hardwood flooring and the impressively massive stone walls, along with a beautifully and sympathetically constructed 30sqm conservatory addition and fabulous indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, the home makes a grand statement indeed. With a crafted blend of old and new, this extremely comfortable two level home will suit a family that loves to entertain. Comprising the street level are two generous bedrooms, the later added but tastefully integrated conservatory (now disposed as a lounge / family room), formal dining and sitting rooms, an eat-in country style kitchen with original functioning wood fired stove plus of course all modern conveniences, along with a beautiful bathroom with a sumptuously deep free standing bath. Downstairs is the essentially subterranean bedroom / teen retreat with ensuite bathroom and a huge walk in robe, adjacent lobby / storage / laundry areas and a lovely cellar (for your wines or root vegetables of course :) ). There is direct access from here to the fabulous outdoor living area with its shade covered sparkling pool and beautiful pitch roof pergola built over a stunning Tasmanian Blackbutt timber deck adjacent to a serious outdoor kitchen with custom built Pizza Dome oven and a quality Heatlie BBQ. Several other more discreet meeting or eating places are available in various locations under the broad return verandah, and these are nicely sheltered from the prevailing westerly winds or setting sun by a bank of attractive plantation shutters. The auto entry double garage provides secure internal access and access through to the rear garden. The fact that all of this lovely home ticks over economically via a large solar array and Tesla storage battery that drives the heavy duty reverse cycle ducted air conditioning unit, pool filter and other appliances very efficiently and with very minimal use of mains powers is another real bonus. Do your family a favour and inspect this gorgeous property. I am confident you will be impressed. *If a land size is quoted it is an approximation only.
