26 Spring Gully Road, Crafers SA 5152

Tucked away where the Heysen Trail brushes past, this beautifully crafted C1920 sandstone fronted home proudly greets you with a handcrafted plaque that reads 'Shalom'. A Hebrew term meaning a state of peace, prosperity, good health and completeness - and here, it feels less like a name and more like a truth, in every sense of the word.

Set back on a flat and generous 2,300sqm (approx) Hills plot, this enduring home carries the kind of calm and charm that only comes with passing time - and the care taken by an owner who's loved every minute of the 50 years they've called it their own.

Inside, think polished timber floors underfoot, high ceilings with decorative motifs above, bundles of natural light and a flexible three-bedroom floorplan that bends to suit your lifestyle and stage in life.

The rear open-plan kitchen rolls out a spacious family room at its feet, forming part of an extension that also included the addition of an ensuited main bedroom.

At the opposing end, the sunroom - once a verandah - frames the garden like a painting. Light pours in. Time slows down. Most likely your happy place amongst one of several living spaces at your beck and call, some casual and others formal.

Split r/c, plenty of storage and generous under-cover parking ensure this time-honoured home is not without its modern comforts.

Step outside to where the grounds sprawl amongst old trees, veggie patches, open spaces, secret nooks, beautiful silence, a circular driveway and two ways in.

One thing is certain; its owner - an avid gardener - passes on a special property that seems to leave your daily stresses at the road.

If you want sleek and staged, look elsewhere. If you want something honest, loved and lived-in that feels so much further away from the city than the 20-minute commute suggests, the search ends here. Shalom.
