With its classic ranch-style roofline, picture windows, exposed timber beams, and split-level living, this beloved 1960-built home pays homage to its era's mid-century contemporary architecture.
The residence offers plenty of original materials and design features faithful to its day, providing an ideal base for the astute buyer to modernise and turn this gem into the perfect home for today's living.
The eastern wing of the upper level offers a nicely separated lounge with lofty raked ceilings, exposed brick and timber beams, coloured glass sidelight windows and a gorgeous outlook to the front gardens.
The large main bedroom, with a walk-in robe and an ensuite bathroom, is conveniently located adjacent to the lounge, making this part of the home the perfect retreat.
In the western wing, you will find an additional three generously sized bedrooms, two with built-in robes, and the main central bathroom.
When it's time for the family to come together, the hub of the home continues to showcase beautiful natural timber with matchboard ceilings throughout. The large living room appears to seamlessly wrap around into the kitchen thanks to cleverly designed built-in shelving.
The kitchen provides plenty of storage and work surfaces, timber doors and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher and a 900mm five-burner gas cooktop.
At the lower level, mirroring the feels of the upstairs lounge with exposed brick and coloured sidelight window, the spacious dining area is presided over by the kitchen. It features north-facing windows that fill the entire wall, flooding the area with natural light.
Access the rear verandah and side yards from the dining area via French doors, where, to the left, you'll find the ideal utility space with a small shed and covered storage area, conveniently located with access back inside to the large laundry.
To the right, there's a nice sitting area overlooked by the main bedroom and an expansive covered area, large enough for entertaining and covered parking for two vehicles.
Year-round comfort is assured with new insulation installed during the 2024 re-roofing, complemented by a wood combustion heater in the lounge and reverse-cycle air conditioning in both living areas.
The welcoming, close-knit community of Eden Hills is ever apparent on Mary Street, fostering closeness and connection with neighbours who often become friends.
Convenient to shops, public transport, and a short drive to Flinders University and Flinders Medical Centre. Close to quality schools, including Eden Hills Primary and a short walk to Eden Hills train station. A super quick 20-minute drive to the Adelaide city centre.
