A character Bungalow Circa 1925; on a fabulous 2292sqm of land (0.57acre).
This beautiful property has been home to one family for a very long time and lives in a truly peaceful and convenient position.
From the front porch and superb outdoor living area, the slight elevation brings in north facing sky-views and a surprise outlook across to the Blackwood Forest where a walk through the trails will bring a peace to your everyday what an environment to come home to.
The Fine Homes of the Blackwood District each have their own personality and place in time where they are very much a part our local history; they are tightly held and are a rare buying opportunity! Picture 54 Turners Avenue back in the day, living amongst rolling hills of farmland and orchards where the Sturt River meets an idyllic water reserve that is Frank Smith Park; and to think that this is metro-Adelaide a lifestyle where that 'Country Feeling meets City Convenience'. Blackwood Village and the train to town are just 5 minutes up the road.
This property is unique in the way an old bitumen tennis court has street frontage which invites great potential in land use, and huge work-sheds at the back of the home a dream set-up for the car enthusiast, hobbyist or work-from-home trade.
The home and accommodation are intriguing and will especially appeal to the buyer searching for an environment that balances; hassle free living with space and where that classic character seamlessly infuses with modern living inside & out it's the best of both worlds. It's a place where you can simply move in and get on with living and yet, still have some fun with your own ideas.
Inside, the practical floorplan is very spacious and easy to live in; it simply flows well. From the wide front porch under-main roof, the entry hall, separate lounge and dining room have all the charm of the 1920's Bungalow. High ceilings are impressive while in the lounge the pop-n-crackle of a working fireplace will be missed this winter it's a magnificent feature.
There are two bedrooms and two large bathrooms in the main home, while the third bedroom has its own entry point from the front verandah. It is a large and versatile room with beautifully polished timber floors; and with sliding doors that open to a garden gazebo it feels a little like a bed-and-breakfast retreat. Use it as a bedroom, home-office or it will certainly be the perfect studio. Both bedrooms feel private from the main living areas; they have built-robes, storage and display shelves, while the fabulous bathrooms are the size you'd hope to see.
The combined kitchen and open plan main living area is a beauty! High ceilings again are impressive, beautiful timber flooring looks great and brings a sense of warmth, while from the family-living room French doors open to the huge outdoor living area. The kitchen is superb with granite benchtops and excellent storage It's a modern space but has that country-style feeling with a breakfast-coffee bar and room for the everyday dining table in the middle. The wet area is smartly concealed from view and there is open bench space for food preparation and entertaining. The essentials include a walk-in pantry, raised oven & built-in microwave, a gas cooktop, dishwasher and the good-as-new fridge can be included in the sale.
At the back of the home a walk-through study is the ideal work-from-home office. It's a calming space with good natural light; potted greenery will love it here and relaxing with a day chair and good read will be a simple pleasure.
The laundry is a large utility room with good storage.
Huge pergola entertaining is brilliant and feels like an extension to the home! Vaulted ceilings bring in light and airflow, zip-track blinds close to change the ambience day or night, tiled flooring looks great and the warm winter sunshine will find its way inside making this outdoor living area the place to be all-year-round. It is further extended by the front verandah where there is an enclosed home-office; the owners did run a business from here but had plans to open the windows to create bar which would be the ideal complement. You'll love it our here!
A gravel driveway provides access through to a great height carport behind the home which was designed to accommodate a caravan, and there is direct entry into one of the garage-work sheds.
The outdoors is to be enjoyed as they are and have abundant potential to create. The tennis court could be renewed or being flat land; there could be an opportunity to design an extension or maybe separate accommodation (subject to Planning SA consent). With street frontage, could the spare land inspire the dream hobby work-shed/studio retreat, which would in turn invite a complete makeover of the backyard in place of the existing work sheds and perhaps even a landscape-pool setting. With 2292sqm of your own space, the potential is very real!
What a Wonderful Place to Live.
