With just the Tudor-trim of a gabled roof visible over the natural street screening, the scale of this treasured family estate is only subtly perceptible on arrival, but behind the front hedging lies a magnificently landscaped 1,520 sqm (approx.) allotment - home to 'Glenbrae', a 3-bedroom gentleman's bungalow, discerningly renovated to add comfort without compromising character.
Taking its name from 2 Scottish words meaning 'valley' and 'hillside', 'Glenbrae' pays homage to its prize Torrens Park location, perched high above Brownhill Creek, neighbouring historic Glenburnie Mansion, and a stone's throw to Scotch College and scenic trails through Randell Park Reserve.
Stepping in off the deep and wide front porch, the house embraces you with its charm from the get-go. Large sash-windows capture abundant light and beneath soaring panelled ceilings, polished timber floorboards span 3 fan-cooled bedrooms - the master with an ensuite - along with adjacent formal living and dining areas. A carpeted study has been built into one end of the porch, accessed from the lounge and offering dreamy garden views.
The back of the house is more contemporary, with textural slate tiling running through an open-plan kitchen/meals/family room that extends onto a covered alfresco entertaining terrace. Timber-framed picture windows naturally illuminate this space, and the kitchen is well-equipped with generous bench space, storage, and all the mod cons. The family bathroom and the laundry next door are also renovated areas.
The grounds surrounding 'Glenbrae' are incredible. Out here, expanses of lush lawn are perfect play areas for kids and pets, while paved pathways wind their way past fragrant garden beds and under tall gum trees, to shady seating areas for cosy coffee breaks or bird spotting. There's a shed for storing yard gear and a street-facing studio that would make a brilliant hobby hub.
While this beautiful property offers sanctuary from the hustle of city life, it's also appealingly close to all amenities, with public transport only a 10-minute walk, Mitcham Square a short drive down the hill for all your shopping needs, and nature trails around the corner.
