3 Hillside Court, Mount Barker, SA 5251

Behind an understated Federation-style façade, 3 Hillside Court reveals a home of remarkable scale, craftsmanship and contemporary living. Set within the highly sought-after Waterford Estate on approximately 2,139sqm, this six-bedroom, three-bathroom residence has been thoughtfully designed to deliver the character and charm of a traditional Hills home, while creating an expansive, light-filled environment perfectly suited to modern family living and entertaining.

Originally owner-built in 2005 and thoughtfully extended in 2008, the home was designed with a clear vision to combine the timeless character of a Federation-style residence, inspired by the homes of St Peters and Norwood, with the space, privacy and natural surroundings of the Adelaide Hills. From the street, the home presents an understated heritage charm, while beyond the front door it opens into an expansive and contemporary family residence.

A grand 2m-wide entry with 14-foot ceilings introduces the home, with the remainder of the residence featuring 10-foot ceilings and Victorian Cove cornices. From here, the home unfolds through a series of interconnected living spaces, with the original residence and later extension brought together through thoughtful design and an abundance of natural light.

At the heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and living area, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows that draw the garden into the everyday living experience. The custom kitchen features a 4m island bench with waterfall finishes and breakfast bar, pure white Corian benchtops, a 900mm Smeg gas cooktop and Asko dishwasher. Extensive storage ensures the kitchen remains as practical as it is impressive, while the adjoining living space creates an inviting setting for everyday family life.

A separate dining area and formal lounge provide additional spaces to gather, while a passage with study offers a quieter moment within the home, positioned to overlook the fish pond as afternoon light filters through the room.

The accommodation has been carefully considered for larger and growing families. The master suite measures approximately 4.58m x 3.64m and features a generous walk-in robe and private ensuite with double vanity, bath and skylight. Bedrooms two, three and four each include built-in robes, while bedrooms five and six form a separate extension-style suite, connected by their own sitting area and Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Equally suited to children, teenagers or extended family, this wing provides a genuine sense of separation from the main living areas.

A third bathroom services the home, while the laundry provides excellent bench space, linen storage, cabinetry and a sink. Ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling with five zones ensures the home remains comfortable throughout the seasons.

Beyond the main living spaces, the home transitions naturally outdoors. Approximately 250sqm of paved entertaining space surrounds the rear of the residence, incorporating a 75sqm undercover alfresco and a dedicated firepit area framed by decorative pillars, stacker stone and festoon lighting. A brand-new outdoor kitchen with timber detailing and a waterfall benchtop creates an impressive entertaining zone, complete with sink, Matador BBQ, glass-door wine fridge and bar fridge.

The rear of the home opens across established gardens and an expansive grassed backyard, with a series of courtyards creating intimate spaces throughout the property. Positioned between the main living area and separate bedroom wing the courtyard provides a seamless connection between the two spaces, with floor-to-ceiling windows drawing natural light deep into the home and strengthening the connection between the interiors and surrounding gardens.

The sense of privacy is a defining characteristic. Surrounded by established hedges, gardens and mature trees, the 2,139sqm allotment feels remarkably secluded, creating a peaceful environment where the sounds and pace of everyday life seem to disappear. A substantial water fountain introduces another layer of character to the front gardens, while the 1.7m-wide verandah wraps around the front and right-hand side of the home.

For those who value functionality alongside lifestyle, the property also provides a 6m x 9m shed with three-phase power, lighting and sliding doors, accessed via a dedicated driveway along the left-hand side of the home. With capacity for up to three vehicles, it offers exceptional additional storage, workshop and vehicle accommodation.
