Hidden behind a veil of greenery and set directly opposite a beautiful reserve and the Onkaparinga River frontage, this charming nod to the return-verandah cottages of a bygone era wraps its country sensibilities in an easy-care package on Oakbank's village edge. With a myriad of birdlife bringing the leafy surrounds to life, it's a setting that invites you to slow down.
Beyond its button-cute frontage is a home with considerably more to say than first impressions suggest, revealing an expansive open-plan interior where garden-facing windows draw the outside in and the kitchen, dining and living spaces enjoy each other's company.
Two sets of French doors open to the verandah and mature garden, creating a lovely connection between the living spaces and the greenery beyond.
A curved breakfast bar traces the kitchen's edge, giving you ample preparation space and a view across the dining and living zones, where timber-look floors bring warmth and a combustion fireplace makes winter a season to look forward to.
Three bedrooms, each with a walk-in robe, give a young family room to grow or downsizers the freedom to keep a guest bed made. A two-way main bathroom doubles as an ensuite, with a separate vanity zone helping keep the morning routine moving.
The invitation to sit and stay extends beyond the return verandah to a vine-covered arbour, giving you another place to contemplate life or lose your place in a novel.
A substantial pitched-roof entertaining area doubles as a secure carport with Panelift doors, allowing the same paved space to accommodate cars one day and a large gathering the next. Together with the separate lock-up garage/shed, it provides secure, undercover parking for three vehicles onsite.
Glass doors lead directly to the carport, keeping you and the shopping sheltered on rainy days, while the garage/shed offers useful space for tools, hobbies and storage.
For those who know the Hills through occasional visits to Hahndorf, Stirling or a cellar door, Oakbank offers a compelling change of perspective, putting them all close to home, Balhannah's everyday services closer still and Adelaide within approximately 40 minutes.
