18 Walker Street, Macclesfield SA 5153

You don't find a place like this-it finds you, when the city rush wears thin and you're ready for something slower - a C1948 stone cottage quietly perched across from a nature reserve, deeply rooted in the quiet rhythm of its tightly-knit Hills community.

Step through the front door and this charming home breathes. High ceilings float above polished timber floors. Roses bloom in the plasterwork overhead. Mantles and rails stand ready for family photos and art.

The eat-in country kitchen drop its anchor at the home's heart -and features stone benchtops, freestanding oven/gas cooktop, walk-in pantry and glazed subway tile splash backs that dance against the sunlight. You can picture bread rising here.

A sense of ease carries through the rest of the home. The front sitting room feels like a place you'd read a book and forget your phone exists.
Bedrooms one and two are generous, while bedroom three moonlights as a home office - only here, your view is a cottage garden and a frog pond, not a car park and a deadline.Then you hit the back deck, where time stops and that view rolls out in front of you like a painting someone forgot to frame.

Think long Sunday lunches to the backdrop of veggie patches, chirping birds, chorusing frogs and a pony grazing in your very own paddock.

Just metres from the Macclesfield oval and a short stroll to the township's general store, two thriving pubs and community-minded RSL, this special home is woven into the fabric of a warm, welcoming town-just 40 minutes from the CBD, but a world away.
