35 Willunga St, Eden Hills SA 5050

The position within Eden Hills is a beauty. Walk to the train for town and Eden Hills Primary, children can get themselves to Blackwood High School, while the Rec centre, Apex skate park, and Karinya reserve are all just up the street. A walk around neighbouring streetscapes is simply beautiful, and how lucky to have the trails of Shepherds Hill Recreation reserve nearby. All this, and just 15 minutes to the beach!

Nestled privately behind native gardens, there is a certain nostalgic feeling of olde-worlde charm as you follow the veranda that returns all the way around to the side of the home to a welcoming entrance. Think of a relaxing moment, sitting out under the front porch with birdlife at play and that warm winter sunshine!

The entry nook provides an immediate glimpse into the main family living area, designed by Energy Architecture and built by a popular local builder, Neville Weber, in 2006. It is the perfect complement to the original weatherboard bungalow.

To the left of the Western Red Cedar entry, there is a perfect home-office-study with its own external access. Jarrah timber floors and panel timber walls give the feeling of being tucked away in a den, electric eco-panels provide a cosy warmth, while high windows bring in natural light. It could be the ideal work-from-home studio.

The fabulous extension beautifully combines the kitchen with family dining and everyday living. A new laundry was created too, and a gorgeous main bedroom and ensuite. It features environmentally sustainable design elements including double glazed windows, clerestory windows in the kitchen and main bedroom to capture natural light and the northern sun in winter.

The bespoke kitchen with its stunning picture window, looking out to the treetops, and practical galley style layout is a winner! It feels separate when you need it to be but is connected in such a perfect way to both the main living area, and outdoor entertaining through a servery window. Imagine preparing a morning coffee or the evening treats while looking out to trees and sunsets. The kitchen was designed by an award-winning Adelaide sculptor and artist, with Jarrah cupboard doors, shelving and bench trims. Attractive green benchtops harmonize with lilac cabinetry and quality appliances.

Recycled Eucalyptus Messmate floorboards are quite a feature! They go hand-in-hand with a wood-fired combustion heater that warms the entire extension, while walls of window look out to an expansive entertaining deck and an elevated green outlook to the environment.

Outside on the deck is the place to be. It is what living in the Eden Hills environment is all about. Imagine weekends at home, a barbeque with family & friends, or simply just taking in your garden environment. It really is bliss!

The spacious main bedroom is privately located at the back of the home, with large robes that will be included in the sale, a light filled ensuite that looks out on to a private green courtyard, and French doors (with a phantom screen) that open out to the deck and a pair of whispering Sheoak trees that are a seasonal home to a family of Tawny Frogmouth owls.

The original part of this Bungalow Home has a gorgeous character. It offers a practical separation that is ideal for the growing or extended family perhaps. High ceilings and large windows frame the native gardens in the front. There are two large bedrooms with full length built-in robes and ceiling fans, while on the other side of the hallway, bedroom four is a delightful room! They are complemented by a long study/office/media room or possibly a cosy bedroom 5. It works!

The spacious original lounge room complements this wing of bedrooms. It features an ornate fire-place with a slow-combustion fire, and has a real feeling of retreat. Display your books and favourite art and cosy-in, and the space will take any lounge configuration.

The great outdoors are so well established. Paved terraced areas are surrounded by native gardens that attract many birds, as well as the occasional koala and possum. There is a spot for the market garden, a cubby and wood store, 13,500 litres of rainwater storage, a garden shed-workshop, and a detached studio-games room, comprised of a steel-framed shed that has been lined with plasterboard, and features large windows and sound insulation. This is the perfect teenager retreat or music room with TV and great power connectivity.

Extra notes - The home has excellent insulation properties, including in the new walls and under-floor insulation to the extension. Rainwater gutters are fitted with a stainless-steel mesh, there is a termite prevention system in place, rainwater is connected to the toilets and the laundry has a grey water recycling system to the garden. Most of the garden has drippers and, being native, they are thriving. There is a solar system with long-lasting rebates, and 2019 electric heat-pump hot water.

Oh What a place to call Home. This home features many unexpected little surprises - and all of them are delightful.
