22 Bernhardt Cres, Hahndorf SA 5245

Upon walking through the front door, you are greeted with the light and spaciousness of the open plan design of the kitchen, dining and living areas, all flowing effortlessly through French doors onto the grand undercover pergola - 72 square metres of Italian tiles surrounded by new paving, retaining walls and 98 English box hedge. The French provincial style inspired kitchen has been finished with granite bench tops and stainless- steel appliances, one of which (the 900mm EURO gas stove top/ electric oven) is only six months old.

Throughout the home are feature walls of exposed Timbercrete, a product that was designed for its strength, thermo and sound insulation properties. Temperature is incredibly stable with quality insulation throughout and surrounding the entire construction, making it more comfortable in high temperatures for longer, and retaining the warmth in the winter...

The home is cooled and heated by a fully ducted and zoned air-conditioning system for summer and winter. In addition to this, in true Hills style, the home has a fan-forced "duel" sided combustion fire which open to both the formal lounge room as well as the open plan living areas. This provides effective comfort and ambiance in multiple areas with only the fuel needed for one firebox.

The master bedroom, which steps from the entrance, has a walk -through robe opening into a beautiful en suite. This is no ordinary en suite and boasts one of the brand new shower cubicles with timber look feature tiles and modern black tap ware.

There are two additional well-sized bedrooms with large built in robes, with a third bedroom next door. This children's area enjoys access to a media room or rumpus room...but wait, there are two more flexible use rooms on the other side of the house- a parent's retreat and a sixth bedroom or study.

Whether you decide to keep the parents retreat for yourself or you use it as a guest room for family or turn it into a "granny-flat", this self-contained bedroom/ kitchenette/ en suite sure has potential written all over it! Do you have children at University who need their space but can't afford to move out yet? Or do you dream of running your own business/ salon/ studio from home? Or do you want to rent it out for extra income via AIRBNB? The granny flat has its own front door and is keyed differently to the main house for security. There is an internal lock adjoining the "study/ sixth bedroom" to separate this from the main house if required. The Hahndorf location is perfect for any of these ventures being a busy tourist destination and only 10 mins walk to the main street and bus services to Mount Barker and the City. The location has the best of both worlds - A leisurely walk to the cafes and restaurants of Hahndorf, yet far enough away from the bustle that if you choose to stay home, you are oblivious to even what day of the week it is!

For the shed-dweller a three-car garage or two-car plus large workshop, is sure to impress! The garage is under the main roof with internal access and has 2 automatic roller-doors so no one ever need to get wet carrying those groceries inside during winter again. Ample gravel driveway and turnaround provides plenty of parking for visitors, or for the trailer etc - you will never have to park on the street again!

Set on nearly 2,000 square metres of prime Hahndorf residential land, the spaciousness of the front garden surprises despite being on a "battle-axe" block. A large timber deck overlooks a tree-filled outlook, which soaks up the peace and quiet of the neighbouring farmland. The rear yard features flat lawn for the kids to play, and a little tropical hideaway for the parents / grandparents to keep comfortably close at hand, as well as the already mentioned entertaining area perfect for BBQs and large family get-togethers.

There is solar hot water, solar panels on the North-facing roof, a separate instant gas hot water system and a 10 000L rain water tank cleverly hidden under the deck.

With too many features to list, this original home is a must see. It was built by the current owner 12 years ago and is on the market for the first time. It won't be on the market long, so be quick to contact Grace Rekruciak for more information.
