34 Ridge Road, Summertown, SA 5141

What began its days as a single-roomed cottage way back in the 1870s is today a sandstone villa with an architectural extension worthy of its 180-degree panorama over Mount Carey. 

And what a view it is, revealing itself from the moment you enter this sprawling property of some five acres that hitches onto the Heyson Trail and falls away ever so gently to frame vineyards and rolling hills. 

Clad in black, the contemporary addition strikes bold contrast with that sandstone-fronted character villa and ensures the view comes flooding through a sea of glazed glass, warming the burnished concrete floor in the process. 

The lashings of natural light also shine a bright spot on the starring stone-topped kitchen, custom forged to stand the test of time - in style and functionality - at the head of open-plan living. 

The transition from new to old is marked by a galley hall with artisan tile floors and a stone wall - once the exterior of that cottage, now an internal feature to savour. 

All three bedrooms find refuge in the C1890s villa, including a master suite that utilises the original return verandah as an ensuite - one of two sleekly updated bathrooms in the home. 

Set below Ridge Road, yet near the highest point of its bore-fed plot, you'll never feel the force of a westerly wind, while you'll forever savour those morning sunrises from the east. The most beautiful view, from the moment you open your eyes. 

Blink and this one will be gone.
