Peacefully positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and overlooking the greenery of Alan Cousin Reserve, this much-loved family home offers something increasingly difficult to find, space for everyone, wonderful natural light and a floorplan that allows family life to come together while still providing genuine separation when it matters.
Set amongst beautifully established gardens in Adelaide's eastern foothills, the home feels wonderfully private and peaceful, yet remarkably connected to local coffee shops, the city, Burnside Village and some of Adelaide's most highly regarded schools are all within easy reach, including zoning for Burnside Primary and Glenunga International High School.
Built in 1988 and thoughtfully enhanced over the years, there is an immediate warmth to the home. Generous windows draw the garden into almost every room, while its elevated position, established greenery and outlook across the adjoining reserve create a lovely sense of openness and calm.
A secure gated porch with intercom introduces the home, with a decorative leadlight front door opening to generous formal living and dining rooms. Garden outlooks and a colonial bay window bring plenty of natural light into these more formal spaces, providing valuable separation from the home's relaxed everyday living areas.
At its centre, the kitchen connects both formal and casual zones and is designed for busy everyday life, with extensive bench space, a large walk-in pantry, double Westinghouse wall ovens, gas cooktop and Bosch dishwasher.
The home's architectural design is particularly evident in the family living area, where a soaring two-storey angled ceiling rises to the mezzanine above, creating an unexpected feeling of volume, light and openness. Large picture windows frame the surrounding greenery, while the family living and dining areas open directly to the covered outdoor entertaining space.
Sheltered beneath a pitched-roof pergola and enveloped by ferns and established plantings, this is an outdoor area designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. The sound of the water feature, filtered light and gardens wrapping around the home give it an intimate, almost secluded quality, equally suited to relaxed dinners, entertaining friends or a quiet weekend morning.
Importantly, the floorplan gives everyone room to enjoy in their own way. Three bedrooms are positioned together on the ground floor, all with built-in robes and serviced by the family bathroom. A separate study with its own external access provides excellent flexibility as a home office, playroom or additional retreat.
Upstairs, a wonderfully private retreat creates an entirely separate zone from the activity below. The mezzanine has views towards the city, creating a genuine second living space, somewhere to read, work, pursue a favourite hobby or simply unwind at the end of the day. The adjoining primary suite is generous and private, complete with an L-shaped walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with double vanity, shower and excellent storage.
The outdoor spaces are just as well considered. A side courtyard garden looks uninterrupted across the Reserve, providing a wonderful extension of the garden and a particularly appealing setting for families with children or pets. Raised vegetable beds, enjoyed by the current owners, are included with the property, plus a garden shed providing additional storage.
A spacious side-by-side double garage includes a workbench and further storage, with rear roller-door access through to the courtyard. A valuable, practical feature for additional vehicles, a trailer, boat or other family equipment.
Warm, bright and exceptionally functional, this is a home that has clearly been enjoyed and cared for. Its generous proportions and thoughtful separation of spaces make everyday family life easy, while the quiet cul-de-sac position, reserve outlook and established gardens create the kind of setting in which children can play, parents can retreat and a family can genuinely settle in for the years ahead.
