Whether starting out, investing or settling into retirement, this charming character home is a must-see.

On a manageable corner block (391m2), just walking distance from Jetty Road shops, city-to-bay tram, Glenelg beach and the popular cosmopolitan eateries of Holdfast Shores and local environs, this pretty bungalow is bound to delight. Well-preserved original features, plenty of modern creature comforts, a convenient location and a practical, low maintenance garden are notable draw cards.

Built in 1925, the classic ornate, central hallway sets the scene for a flexible floorplan, with front lounge and two to three bedrooms on either side. Solid brick walls, high ceilings with original vents and cornices, and original timber floorboards (lovingly restored by the present owner) set the tone. A decorative gas fireplace to front lounge and a fireplace in bedroom three (or formal dining room) capture the best of this historic period. Not one, but two, walk-in robes to the master bedroom make for a luxurious touch, as well as ceiling fan in bedroom one for nights when the sea breeze eludes. A family bathroom with separate toilet and laundry are all within easy reach, with substantial built-in storage space in the back service area.

The updated eat-in kitchen, with its terracotta tiled floor, solid wood bespoke cabinetry, interesting angles and lead-light feature has a lovely, homely feel, and the SMEG double oven and Miele convection hob offer the scope to cook up a storm (and with raised vegie garden outside the back door, there are no excuses!).

Outdoor entertaining will also come easy, with a private side pergola, complete with ceiling fan and caf blinds under a tastefully designed pitched roof that is totally in keeping with the ambience of the home.

Additional features include ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, gas hot water, heat lamps to bathroom, security system and secure fencing, remote access to closed carport, landscaped outdoor space that’s a cinch to maintain, and handy garden storage shed.

Close to the beach for relaxed weekends, yet an easy commute to the city by bus or tram, this classical and convenient home in one of Adelaide’s premier suburbs beckons a smart, discerning, creative owner. Be among the first to view.
