40 Barr-Smith Drive, Urrbrae, SA 5064

Set against the wondrous natural backdrop of Waite Conservation Reserve, 40 Barr-Smith Drive is the epitome of refined residential elegance within arm's reach of the city: a bay windowed beauty nestled high on a lushly landscaped 850sqm (approx.) holding in this coveted enclave's most prestige thoroughfare, boasting incredible vistas from its two expansive verandahs.

It won't be hard to picture yourself greeting guests as they walk up the majestic external staircase rising through the gorgeous front garden and welcoming them into the grand entry foyer where the void soars to the top of the upper floor and huge windows capture abundant natural light. A fireplace gives a cosy touch to the large front lounge, flowing into a dining area and then a family room that opens to the beautiful backyard. The chic kitchen/meals area is close by, with access to an alfresco entertaining verandah, and sporting a suite of all-electric appliances and double pantry.

The accommodations are largely at ground level, with the bay-windowed master enjoying access to a private ensuite and walk-in robe, the other 2 bedrooms with BIRs and use of a deluxe main bathroom with two basins, shower alcove, and a spa-bath for super long soaks.

The upper level is what places this statement abode far above so many of its peers at this top end of town. Connected by an elegantly curved staircase, it offers a self-contained entertaining hub all its own - with a formal living area opening to a verandah, an amazing bar with wine/glass storage and all the fixings for cocktail hour, plus a powder room, and a bonus guest bedroom.

The only thing luring you from this sumptuous interior are the equally stunning grounds, an oasis of lush lawns and manicured gardens and a fountain-fed pool, surrounded by tropical-style plantings and with a mix of shady, open-air and fully covered patio areas to take in the picturesque scene.

This is refined luxury in a prime location just 6km from town, putting you in the box seat to access prestige private schools, vibrant shopping precincts, and the rejuvenating wilds of Waite Conservation Reserve.
