How beautiful it is when the 3-bedroom salute to the French provincial homes of a bygone era not only keeps going and gets better with every step, but has the brightest of futures in the highly-sought zone for Marryatville High School.

As that zone has shrunk over the years – making MHS as exclusive as public schools come – this elegantly appointed, architecturally conceived home has forever felt so capacious, yet so easy to care for.

The way it looks, feels and lives can be attributed to the sheer quality of its Circa 2000 build and a a clever design that draws the warming, illuminating northern sun through its Mediterranean style courtyards.

With that elongated footprint – fronted by a timeless, terraced facade – comes multiple living zones and a master suite that basks in the luxury if its own bathroom, walk-in robe, that terrace, and complete refuge above your double garage/cellar/workshop.

If the master bedroom is one bookend, the open-plan rear is a worthy counterpart headlined by solid timber floors, a gourmet kitchen with granite benchtops and high-end appliances, and instant access to a quaint rear patio that, you guessed it, laps up the northern sun.

In between is an expansive formal living zone with pillars, high ceilings and the sense that only the best furniture – and most memorable dinner parties – will do here.

When only the easiest of lifestyles will do, this secure and ducted air-conditioned home will oblige on the quiet, leafy doorstep of Tusmore Park, Burnside Village, Woolworths, Loreto College and that prized public school. A bright future, indeed.
