Set behind an inviting façade on one of Croydon's most prized boulevards, this grand 1910 solid brick home is a glorious celebration of old Croydon personality, with wide rooms, high ceilings, polished floorboards, sash windows, leadlight, ornate tiles and enough original detail to keep the character-lover happily occupied for years.
Then there's the scale, approximately 696sqm, with the home perfectly placed on its rectangular allotment to offer a world of possibility across the northeast-facing rear.
The home's front six rooms are particularly special. A wide central hallway stretches through the heart of the home beneath a procession of beautiful pendant lights, while the grand lounge and dedicated dining room deliver the scale and atmosphere you simply don't get in modern builds.
The bedrooms are equally generous, with beautiful high ceilings and original character fireplaces. The first adds built-in robes and split-system air conditioning, while the first three bedrooms and front lounge are serviced by split systems for year-round comfort.
At the rear, the home takes a decidedly more relaxed turn. A large open plan living zone sits beneath exposed character beams, bringing together a generous family kitchen, casual dining area and a second lounge.
A thoughtful renovation could transform the rear section while letting the home's magnificent original rooms shine.
Both bathrooms retain their retro tiled charm, with the larger bathroom already receiving a few modern updates including a new vanity basin and showerhead.
Outside, the big entertainer's pergola stretches over brick paving, creating an easy extension of the living space. Beyond, neat lawns, brick-paved garden paths and good-neighbour fencing frame a backyard that's perfectly functional now, yet full of potential for transformation.
There's room for a pool, an inspired garden, a more ambitious outdoor entertaining zone or simply more lawn for the kids and dog to run wild (STPC).
And because every great old Adelaide home deserves a secret or two, there's even an underground wine cellar tucked beneath it all.
A substantial shed adds plenty of storage, while solar panels help keep the household's energy bills in check.
With Croydon railway station within walking distance, Queen Street around the corner and the CBD just a couple of stops away, lock in a genuinely walkable inner-west location where the train, café culture and everyday essentials are all close to home
The bones are magnificent. The personality is already there. You decide what comes next.
