This charming property is a unique blend of historic character and contemporary upgrades, nestled in the picturesque Adelaide Hills at Uraidla. Encapsulating the essence of early 20th-century cottage living, it offers a seamless lifestyle of privacy, comfort, and connection with the surrounding natural beauty.
The original 1910 stone cottage has been lovingly preserved yet thoughtfully expanded, incorporating a distinctive corrugated iron addition that complements the home's traditional elements. Inside, rich jarrah flooring and timber-lined ceilings lend warmth and texture, paired with broad skirtings and active fireplaces that underpin the residence's inviting atmosphere.
The generous layout features three bedrooms, including a main suite with a substantial walk-in robe, underscoring practical storage solutions. The other bedrooms retain much of the cottage's authentic charm with cast-iron fireplaces and lofty proportions, offering privacy and separation ideal for family life or quiet retreats.
Comfort is further enhanced by ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, ceiling fans, and a slow-combustion heater, ensuring year-round coziness. The kitchen and dining area present a modern culinary space with two-pack cabinetry, laminated timber benchtops, and a freestanding Smeg cooker, blending functionality with style. Glazed doors open to the garden, inviting natural light and providing an enjoyable flow for dining and entertaining.
The bathroom stands out with its deep clawfoot bath, checkerboard flooring, and generous garden window, complemented by a separate shower and a practical laundry setup, reflecting a careful balance of vintage character and everyday convenience.
Outdoors, the property reveals a layered garden filled with mature camellias, magnolias, hydrangeas, roses, and spring bulbs that create a tranquil, ever-changing landscape. Verandahs tracing the stone walls lead to brick pathways, a lush lawn, and various outdoor features including a powered studio with an elevated deck, multiple powered sheds, a double garage, and a compact saltwater swim-jet pool for leisurely enjoyment.
Additional features such as solar power installed in 2011 with a beneficial feed-in tariff, rainwater plumbed for both home and garden use along with community bore access, fully automated irrigation, an Envirocycle wastewater system, and three-phase power reflect a property designed to deliver sustainability and low maintenance living. Boundary fencing with wire and post provides security while giving the garden a sense of openness.
Ideal for those who appreciate a lifestyle that combines country charm with contemporary comforts, this property is perfectly positioned within easy reach of the village amenities including a bakery, primary school, medical services, and bus routes, offering both a peaceful retreat and community connection.
