A proud piece of Hills history with heavenly views and untapped potential in a setting out of this world
Like something out of the Tuscan countryside, this C1885 stone-laden character home has a rare knack for transporting you to another world and time, painting an enchanting picture of what life would have been.
Only time - and the old portraits that grace its walls - can create character and charm like this; making a substantial residence the ideal candidate for a restoration and extension on a property that carves out a soul-soothing view over Forest Range.
With seven expansive main rooms, stone outhouses, solid bones, soaring ceilings, ornate fireplaces and timber floorboards so eager to see the light of day, this robust and ultra-versatile home will revel in a deeply rewarding cosmetic reboot.
Hand laid stone adorns every side of its original facade, today an internal feature where an addition houses the kitchen, casual meals zone and lounge/sitting room that make it easy to live here from day one with little fuss.
Yet something tells us you'll remove the additions and replace them with an architectural statement that creates dramatic contrast and captures that view from within.
A large powered shed stands where this rolling property reaches its ridge. Keep it, move it or clear a path between the house and the valley beyond. A slice of Tuscany, less than 30 minutes from Adelaide's CBD. Heaven.
