There’s more magic to this original C1916 3-bedroom bungalow on a deep and inspiring 1280sqm (approx.) allotment; it’s also the home Sir Donald Bradman’s best mate, Andrew Edwin Smith, built – the then captain of SA’s cricket team – and the first home to be built between the beach and its prime spot along Henley Beach Road.
Today, it anticipates its next major move, easy minutes to both Henley Beach and the CBD
Those major moves not limited to a loving family home restoration, a lifestyle extension, or with this much rear garden room-to-move – Sir Don himself swinging a cricket bat in this very backyard – perhaps a sports court or swimming pool (STCC).
From the tessellated tiled verandah and leadlight entry, the whitewashed brick and stone faade carries its storybook presence into the home’s powder white and pastel interiors, highlighting lofty decorative ceilings, character fretwork and picture rails, embossed glass interior doors and ornate fireplaces.
Step back and admire, or take over and extend:
- Formal carpeted living room with box window & fireplace
-Large carpeted master suite with fireplace & French door access to the sunroom/verandah
- Wide, fretwork-adorned hallway
- Formal dining room (or 2nd living room) with fireplace
- Mid-century style kitchen adjoining a vintage bathroom & washroom
- Powder room off the entry hall
- Rear study, porch & spacious laundry
- Vine-covered rear pergola with access to an outdoor 2nd WC
- Deep, established block with mature fruit trees & open lawn area (ideal to extend STCC)
- Barn-style detached garage & carport
From an almost bottomless block, explore your position zoned to Lockleys North Primary School and Underdale High, ideally placed for global dining, local shopping, city buses, even the airport departure gate, and with Henley Square on call, its countless cafes and cosmopolitan eateries will cram your weekends
Have the city, the sea, and a vintage maiden primed for revival on a valuable stretch of Underdale.
