Prepare to be bowled over by this rare gem of a property, perfectly located just 10 minutes drive in either direction from the city and the beach.
Nestling in a tranquil, tree-lined street, this is a world where the decorative, dependable construction of yesteryear meets all the mod cons and luxury of today.
The cool, wide, period verandah gives way to double-door entry, a spacious reception hall and two large double bedrooms on either side, which retain original fireplaces, ceilings and doors, as well as modern lighting, ceiling fans and built-in wardrobes. Venture a little deeper to find two more bedrooms, equally well-appointed, and a stunning, modern family bathroom, with bath, heat lamps and practical skylight.
Nothing can prepare you for the wow factor’ of the main living area, a massive space spanning the full width of the house, with state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen integrated into huge family dining, lounging and entertaining, and a second bathroom and storage-rich laundry flowing through to stage right.
Step out to industrial strength decking, and your own, wonderfully private oasis, overlooking a pretty palm-fringed pool and stunning entertainment setting. This design, layout and ambience would be difficult to surpass at any Gold Coast luxury resort, and enables a 24/7 holiday experience, literally, right on your doorstep.
As if this were not enough, there’s a fully plumbed and wired in studio with its own verandah and decking, that could be readily adapted for multiple uses – self-contained living quarters, teenage retreat, guest bedroom, home office/workspace – the possibilities are only as limited as your imagination.
Additional features include substantial solar array with six years low tariff in prospect, beautifully landscaped, easy-care front and back yards, outdoor shower, ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, security shutters to side windows, secure privacy fencing with remote access to main gate and 2-3 vehicle closed carport, LED lighting throughout, and a location that’s walking distance from a leafy, local creek, excellent shops and public transport. The address also provides access to some of the best schools in Adelaide.
For the family who appreciate the value and attraction of a heritage home updated to accommodate year-round resort-style living, all within minutes of the CBD, this is a must-see at the very least – and a must-have for one lucky buyer
