9 Finlayson Drive, Aldgate SA 5154

Fronted by Finlayson Drive's curated streetscape, a home that gives a subtle wink to the suburban character homes of yesteryear opens its eyes to a ruggedly beautiful backdrop at its rear, casting aside those city stresses like only the Adelaide Hills knows how.

Set ever so slightly below street level, the passing world can't see into this bay-windowed home with a wonderfully simple-but-effective floor plan to go with the gravitational pull of its rear deck.

Woody accents, sash windows, high ceilings, a mix of dark and light hues, vintage feature lighting and painted exposed brick conspire to leave you in love with the eclectic warmth of this solar-powered home that just 'feels right' from the moment you step inside.

It's so easy to picture lazy mornings in the over-sized main bedroom, winter afternoons by the lounge room's combustion fireplace and epic family battles of Monopoly in the adjacent dining zone.

And it's hard not to love a storage-laden kitchen with robust cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, dishwasher and a servery window so the cook is never cut off from the conversation - or the squabble over who should 'pass go and collect $200'.

Money can't buy this rear outlook, protected by a tall blanket of trees and best served on the elevated deck, partially covered to make it a year-round proposition.

Quaint nooks and crannies - and inquisitive koalas - wait beyond for endless fresh-aired adventures without a single, pesky iPad screen in sight.

You can't see Stirling and Aldgate villages, but you can almost hear them calling your name with equal gusto here. Whether it's a coffee date with Fred (Eatery), a mid-week dinner at 'The Pump', a Sunday session at The Stirling or a day perusing the stalls of those famous monthly markets, it's hard to picture yourself anywhere else.
