8 Old Belair Road, Mitcham, SA 5062

Offers Close Tue, 24th Nov - 12pm (USP)

One of Mitcham Village's earliest recorded homes has had almost two centuries to become something remarkable, growing from a circa-1848 stone cottage into a generous multigenerational home that holds the city in its sights and some 1,365sqm of freedom at its feet.

Beneath the soaring glass atrium, the transition from cottage to two-storey addition becomes one of the great pleasures in this far-reaching home with two self-contained sections and abundant living spaces, allowing family life to expand well beyond a single household and many stages of life.

Outside, the mood turns Tuscan beneath the wisteria, with fruit ready to pick in season and a pool at the centre of summer, before evening sends everyone towards the balcony to watch the city take its turn. This is something else.

Open the Door to:
⁃ A historic stone cottage and substantial two-storey addition combining five bedrooms, a study, two kitchens and extensive living spaces on approximately 1,365sqm
⁃ Two self-contained sections offering independence for extended family, with the flexibility to enjoy the entire property as one expansive home
⁃ A spectacular glazed atrium connecting the home's two eras beneath a soaring pitched roof
⁃ Original cottage character expressed through exposed stone, timber floors, high ceilings, fireplaces and sheltered verandahs
⁃ Generous open-plan living and dining with French doors to a long balcony framing views towards Adelaide's CBD
⁃ Two well-equipped kitchens, including an upgraded cottage kitchen, with gas cooking and ample storage
⁃ A spacious main suite with walk-in robes, an ensuite and direct balcony access
⁃ Two additional bathrooms, including convenient facilities accessible from the pool through the mudroom
⁃ A separate study and a sunroom offering space for reading, exercise or an additional sitting area
⁃ A substantial lower-level retreat and fifth bedroom opening through French doors to the verandah and garden
⁃ An in-ground saltwater-chlorinated pool with paved surrounds and glass fencing
⁃ A wisteria-covered pergola, rear entertaining terrace and established gardens threaded with paths and secluded places to sit
⁃ A productive mini orchard with lemon, mandarin, orange, grapefruit and mulberry trees
⁃ Dual remote, video controlled gates, a double garage with internal access and additional off-street parking for up to eight vehicles
⁃ Extensive cellar and storage space, plus a garden shed
⁃ A new 15,000L rainwater tank supporting garden irrigation
⁃ A 6kW solar system, ducted gas heating, evaporative cooling and additional split-system air conditioning

A walk to The Ed can turn an unplanned evening into dinner with friends, while Mitcham Square keeps coffee, shopping and the week's provisions close at hand. Scotch and Mercedes Colleges are within walking distance, with Mitcham Primary and Unley High nearby and public transport connecting you to the CBD. For a home that feels so removed from the everyday, remarkably little is far away, leaving you free to enjoy Adelaide at street level before coming home to watch it light up.
