Think of stepping off the train a short walk away... and at the end of your day, arriving home to a place full of life and character, a home nestled into a peaceful and natural environment where you truly feel far from it all.
The position is superb. Eden Hills train station and Primary School are a few minutes' walk, and from the return verandah the north facing outlook to trees and with a snippet of the lights & sea in the distance - this is where that country feeling meets city convenience!
The land measures 900sqm with a beautiful backyard setting of private nooks and terraced vegetable bays that were built by hand over time of local stone and were previously a thriving market garden. With a garden shed, rainwater store and a home for the chooks, this beautiful backyard could be your very own natures' providore.
Every now and then a little piece of history becomes available for sale. Circa 1947. You can just imagine back in the 40's these charming homes establishing themselves where they were, and still are, very much a part of the natural foot-hills environment and a flourishing Blackwood District community. 46 Willunga Street has a homestead influence in style with its high-pitched roof, jarrah weatherboard walls and return verandah that spans much of the dwelling.
Inside, the living is deceptively spacious! And with a personality all-of-its-own!
The original two bedrooms are large rooms, the main has a walk-in store or perhaps a potential study/home-office.
The lounge-living room has high ceilings, wide Cypress Pine timber floors with hand-painted detailing and antique wood-panelled walls with decorative display shelves - classic and timeless features!
Imagine cosying-in around a crackling open-fire come winter time. It would have been the heart of the home back in the day providing essential heating while on the other side in the kitchen area, the brick chimney alcove is home to an ornate wood-fired stove!
It is where many Saturday roasts have been prepared and enjoyed and accompanied by home-grown vegetables from the backyard! The owners cherished this time and out on deck with a home-brew and their blissful environment. Ah'... there is nothing better than a simple-good-life.
In the kitchen-dining area, there is a calming and relaxed simplicity. It looks north over the backyard gardens, has electric ceramic cooktop and fan-forced oven, plenty of room for a double-fridge and pretty good bench-space. There is no rush for a new one!
In 2004, the original home was extended with a handy connecting space, a large bathroom upgrade with a separate laundry and a wonderful family-living room. Wide pine timber floors are in perfect condition, recycled casement windows with exquisite leadlight maintain the character while double doors open to the return verandah. It's perfect! Lounge with music or evenings in front of the TV, and with a beautiful outlook to peaceful privacy there is a certain ambience all-of-its-own.
Out the front, there is plenty of room for two cars and a trailer.
Carry on the tradition and with loads of potential to really make it your own, what a glorious place to live. And it all could be... Especially Yours!
