Life has changed for the current owners of this unique home in Macclesfield. With mixed emotions they have decided to let go of their well loved property and relocate closer to family.
Purchased in 2017 from the original builder they have energetically transformed this rustic mud brick home into the masterpiece it is today. With its carefully blended tapestry of reclaimed and recycled materials it's a pleasure to live in and enjoy.
Enter via the appealing front deck, step over the reclaimed timber doorstep and into the "retreat wing". The stylish main bedroom and resort style bathroom won't fail to impress. Reflective eco glass allows you to enjoy the outlook whilst maintaining privacy if you're relaxing in bed or soaking in the luxurious bath. The heavy timber barn style doors (possibly West Australian Karri) are reclaimed lift doors with some of the original copper fittings still intact. We love them!
The hallway opens out into the enormous, light filled family room. Originally designed as a connecting breezeway to the garage and with bifold doors at both ends, this fabulous room is now used every day. Boasting a passive solar design with its north /south orientation warming in the winter months and staying cooler in the summer, it's perfect for hosting family get togethers - the thing is no one will want to go home!
Head on through into the hub of the home. The huge central island in the kitchen doubles as an eating zone and a workbench with storage underneath. Vintage-look, imported Spanish tiles enhance the eclectic vibe. Extra storage is found in the walk in pantry. The adjacent living room has a cosy and welcoming feel. The slow combustion fire keeps the entire home at an ambient temperature with the added benefit of heating the hot water during winter. The remaining 3 double bedrooms, family bathroom and laundry are at the eastern side away from the living spaces. Its such a well thought out floorplan. It will suit families, couples or multi-generational living as the front of the house can be closed off with its own water and gas supply.
Sited on a 2361m2 (approx) near flat land in this quiet street, the home feels extremely private. Native vegetation shields the house from the road and attracts an abundance of bird life. A paved patio accesses the lawn with a border of colourful shrubs and perennials on the southern side while jasmine curls along the verandah scenting the summer evenings with its exotic fragrance.
This gorgeous home in the quiet Adelaide Hills town of Macclesfield has a soulful quality that is difficult to put into words. We suggest you take the time to visit us at the open. We are keen to hear your thoughts about when you would like to move in!
