8 Northumberland Street, Heathpool

An idyllic family home set up for entertaining and living in one of Adelaide's most sought after areas. Located on this stunning tree lined street in one of Adelaide's most tightly held pockets in the highly sought after eastern suburb of Heathpool, you will find this fabulous family home. This 1950's bungalow sits proudly on an impressive allotment and has been updated to suit modern and contemporary living. Set securely behind the high brush fence and automatic driveway gate and amongst the lush, low maintenance front garden, you enter the home, into a wide and welcoming entry hall. Leading off the entry hall is your Main bedroom suite that offers plenty of storage with a walk-in robe, built in cabinetry and an ensuite that features underfloor heating. On the opposite side of the entry hall is the room that will offer you and your family many options as to its potential use. It is currently used as a "his and hers" office space with the room divided by a full height, double sided bookshelf. One side of the office has built in desk and shelving plus a fireplace with a window overlooking the front garden. The other side of the room has cleverly designed built in cabinets which are currently disposed as shelved cupboards, but can easily be converted to a wardrobe by replacing some shelving space with hanging racks. This then allows this entire room to be used as study plus a cosy sitting room, or study plus a bedroom, or leave as 2 study spaces – or something completely different if required. The entry hall opens on to the heart of this substantial home – the spacious open plan dining and kitchen with up to 2 living spaces adjacent. Imagine the family celebrations and gatherings with friends that you could host in this space. Set below the peaked, almost church like ceiling with its high windows at either end, as you pour your guests another drink from the built in bar, you will appreciate just how versatile and generous this entertaining space really is. The kitchen is the centrepiece of this home, packed with features you will love and appreciate and designed in such a way that, as hosts, you will always feel a part of what is going on around you. The expansive full length island bench provides all the work space that you will need. The under bench and overhead cupboards provide plenty of kitchen area storage whilst the butler's pantry gives you storage for your groceries and appliances. The kitchen is extremely well appointed and includes 2 (side by side) Leiberr integrated refrigerators, a Smeg cooktop and matching rangehood, a near new Asko Pyrolytic oven and Asko dishwasher. Separate living spaces for the family is all covered with 2 living areas, one that can be a quiet sitting space, the other, more of a family area that leads directly out to the impressive outdoor entertaining area, pool, studio and enchanting garden. Starting with the outdoor entertainment area. This is truly an outdoor room and has been equipped and designed for year-round use. The paved patio space is set under a vaulted pergola that features a fully integrated outdoor stainless steel kitchen with 6 burner plus wok burner Gasmate BBQ, bar fridge and outdoor sink. You and your guests will be comfortable and relaxed seated around the outdoor dining setting or on the custom designed and built in bench / lounging seating, made from Mill Wood, that will never need any further maintenance. Stepping out of the entertaining area, make your way to the oasis inspired pool area. A fully tiled salt water chlorinated pool, set amongst easy care garden beds, you do get the sense that you are in an idyllic oasis. Included are the 2 large poolside umbrellas and the near new Viper wireless pool vacuum, just to make it all very easy for you! Behind the pool and overlooking the whole back garden is the produce garden with its abundance of vegetables and fruit trees. These have all planted out in raised beds surrounding a terrace that makes for a great spot to enjoy a cool drink on a pleasant summers' day. Then there is the separate studio, a spacious room that offers many options for you. A teenager's retreat, a studio, gym, or anything ese that you can imagine it to be. Behind this structure, hidden behind attractive fencing, are a further 3 storage sheds, one of which is carpeted and could also easily be the gym. Back inside the home, you have 2 double sized bedrooms with built in robes, the 2nd bedroom also has a study area, and family bathroom servicing these bedrooms in their separate area of the home, which makes it ideally set up for families.
