84 Hillcrest Drive, Eden Hills, SA 5050

A home like this tells its own story - they are full of life, character and with an energy all their own - a certain personality where time only adds to their appeal. 84 Hillcrest Drive is true Mid-Century living in a glorious position and presents a once in a lifetime opportunity.

The current owners raised a family and have cherished their home for a long time and have especially appreciated where they live - tucked away in the foothills with incredible views north to Sensational Adelaide and the metro night lights, they have enjoyed the benefits of amazing nature walks around the corner and being so connected to everything - Jetty Road and Brighton beach is just 10-minutes! Living here has been a lifestyle and they have loved it.

The home is sited beautifully and invites you to live in both front and backyards - the land measures 1130sqm, while the elevation takes every advantage of incredible views as far as the eye can see - they will be a part of your every day!
Underneath the home there is a studio style workshop with a view and extra storage - for the hobbyist they'll love it in here, while to the side of the home there is good parking for two cars undercover and driveway access is easy too!

Solid concrete-brick blade walls and a partially suspended concrete slab beneath the main living areas showcase the home's superior construction. Above, the butterfly roof creates a striking angular profile and high ceilings throughout. Together with large timber windows, vertical cladding and exquisite Carey Gully stone walls, these elements give the home a unique, natural and timeless character.
At the top of the stairs, the alfresco terrace with random slate is the ideal spot for potted greenery and a few occasional chairs to bask in that warm winter sun, and it makes for the perfect welcome.

A formal entry is always a welcome feature, and here the slate-terrazzo floor and beautifully crafted panel screen create the perfect sense of arrival, filtering enticing glimpses through to the main living areas. Warmth and calm are immediate, drawing you inside as classic features unfold - before the spectacular view delivers a true wow moment.
A stunning solid-stone wall with a built-in combustion fire anchors the living space - a feature that would be extraordinary to recreate today. A highlight window frames Mount Lofty, while the dining and spacious lounge areas enjoy sweeping views across the natural hills landscape to Shepherds Hill Recreation Reserve and the twinkling lights of Sensational Adelaide. Together with the original built-in sideboard, the split-level design creates distinct zones within the open-plan living and dining area. Blackbutt timber flooring laid over the concrete slab adds warmth, while doors open onto a concrete balcony that extends the living space towards the view.

The renovated ergonomic kitchen presents beautifully, with high ceilings and a large casement window framing the stone wall and leafy outlook beyond. The open-plan setting offers wonderful versatility - ideal as a second dining area or, with a wall-mounted television, an intimate retreat with a cosy lounge or day chairs. At the end of the day, this welcoming space is certain to become a natural gathering place before retreating to the main lounge. The kitchen provides abundant storage and excellent bench space, complemented by a cleverly concealed laundry behind bi-fold doors and a second pantry or storage area. Enhancing its appeal, large windows and double doors create a seamless connection between this kitchen-living zone and the private outdoor living area, inviting easy indoor-outdoor entertaining.

The three bedrooms are privately positioned along the hallway, each featuring built-in storage, high ceilings and abundant natural light to create a wonderful sense of space. The huge main bedroom enjoys clear city views and is complemented by split-system air conditioning, while ceiling fans are fitted throughout. All bedrooms are serviced by a large, renovated family bathroom.

Outside, the huge pergola has been thoughtfully designed to complement the character of the home. Relaxed and inviting, it features high ceilings, partial enclosure for privacy, random slate looks very cool while ceiling fans will move those evening breezes we get in the metro-foothills.
The backyard setting is easy to enjoy and move around with ramped walkways to the front. It is quite low maintenance and at the same time will delight the keen gardener. An open lawn area is just the right size, there is a garden shed, room for your pots on the terrace and nooks to create your very own market garden.
At the rear of the allotment, the sports court provides an exceptional space for children's play and active family living - perfect for basketball, pickleball, cricket, footy or soccer. With its raised concrete slab foundation, it also presents exciting potential for an alternative future use, such as a detached outbuilding or studio, subject to the necessary planning consents and approvals.

This is classic Mid-Century living in beautiful Eden Hills.
Make it Yours.
