All the work has been done to provide a home where you can move in and enjoy the benefits that come with living in a completely renovated home. Its move in and get on with Life!
Bellevue Heights is increasingly sought after, and Sherwood Avenue is a tightly held position. This is the metro-foothills lifestyle at its best: Brighton and Seacliff beaches are ten minutes away, Flinders University and Hospital are within walking distance, and getting across Adelaide is easy. With the north-south corridor progressing nearby, an elevated north-facing aspect, wide sky views and a surprise outlook to the city, this is the place to be.
The original home was built in 1965, and it lives on a beautiful 990sqm of land which provides outdoor living in both front and backyards. The floorplan is a real winner. There are four bedrooms, two bathrooms and three living areas. One of the living rooms could readily become a fifth bedroom if required, although it would make an exceptional studio-style work-from-home office.
From the street, a long concrete driveway provides entry to a large garage and workshop space. It has remote entry, drive-through access to an open area where you can accommodate a trailer, and secure internal entry to your home.
All bedrooms are positioned away from the main living areas. The main bedroom is especially appealing, with its own private domain upstairs - a genuine retreat for Mum and Dad.
A wide feature stairwell takes you up to this fabulous space where from the lounge-retreat and bedroom you can see Adelaide! The bedroom will comfortably accommodate a king-size, the adjacent lounge-snug is the genuine retreat, while the walk-though robe and beautifully finished ensuite complete the picture,
Downstairs, the 4 children's bedrooms have their own robe storage, and they share a family bathroom in the same theme and ideally a separate toilet.
Open the door to the main living areas and you will immediately appreciate the space, the light and the connection to the entertaining deck. The owners have created an environment that is fresh, vibrant and well suited to modern life. We all want a home that brings people together, and here the open-plan design does so with real ease. Better still, the living spaces can shift with the seasons and the way you choose to live. From inside, a wall of windows looks across the deck and beyond the extended eaves to the north. In winter, warm sunshine fills the rooms; in summer, late afternoons are shaded and comfortable.
Fall in love with the kitchen. Sage green feels both timeless and very now, complemented by soft timber-look cabinetry and smart tiling. It has a sense of its own while remaining connected to the living area - ideal when friends and family are gathered around.
The kitchen is well zoned. Smeg cooking includes a wide gas cooktop and electric oven, with generous bench space for preparation. The wet area and dishwasher extend to a breakfast bar with room for stools, while the fridge and pantry storage sit side by side. Everything is where it should be.
The laundry, positioned by the kitchen, is equally practical. Finished in the same style, it offers excellent storage, while sliding doors provide an easy walk-through connection from the kitchen to the backyard pergola.
The dining area will accommodate a large table setting and lounging around the TV has great wall-space for furniture and art - it also has that slight disconnect in an open plan space which is ideal. The combined open plan living area has the flexibility to have fun and style your own way!
As an extension of the main living area, a separate room delivers that valuable bonus space. The angled external wall gives it another dimension, while large windows and a door to the deck keep it light and open. It could be the perfect work-from-home office or library, double as an occasional guest bedroom, or become the dream playroom for children.
From the main living areas, double doors open to a fabulous outdoor living space and a delightful front-yard outlook. This is one of the pleasures of a metro-foothills setting: you can truly live in your front yard. The hardwood deck is framed by a feature box eave which spans a great length and provides ample room for a large table setting and casual chairs. It looks over lawn and garden, with an elevated outlook that is a very pleasant surprise.
The rear pergola creates a second outdoor zone, ideal for barbecues and covered playtime, and connects directly to the garage-workshop. The garden also enjoys an elevated aspect, with new lawn and native plantings already taking shape. There is a paved area for a fire pit or casual outdoor setting, a good-sized garden shed, and further glimpses towards the Adelaide city skyline.
A great deal has gone into rebuilding this home. Beyond the overall aesthetic, the essentials include a new roof, new internal ceilings, a rebuilt stairwell and the entire upstairs main bedroom suite. The main living areas have been completely rebuilt, including the laundry, kitchen and both bathrooms. There is new wiring, new plumbing and a new zoned ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning system throughout.
16 Sherwood presents a brilliant buying opportunity, one to take hold of and make your own - it will certainly be a sound investment in your future too.
