A character 1920s bungalow family home at Mile End has a pinch of everything required for a growing family who would like to live close to the city in a charming character home.
Set behind a private brush fence with automatic sliding gate and video intercom, the large tree-studded garden allotment allows plenty of scope for a growing family, with ample space to play outdoors or to extend or renovate further.
There is a sense of grace and grandeur here that is typical of the era. The red bricks used extensively throughout this period have been contrasted with an exterior base of dark brown glazed bricks that also feature in the interior fireplaces. Rendered columns to the generous front portico and veranda add distinctive appeal.
The home has been tastefully updated but retains many original character features such as a spacious entry hall with decorative timber fretwork, high ornate ceilings, imposing fireplaces, polished Jarrah timber floorboards, rooms of grand proportions and a dry cellar with an elegant spiral staircase. The delightful family-sized formal lounge and dining room has old world charm but is equipped with the modern comforts.
There are three generous bedrooms (the two front bedrooms feature elegant leadlight windows and fireplaces). The accommodation is serviced by a heritage style family bathroom that includes a corner spa bath. The kitchen, laundry and separate toilet have been recently updated to meet the needs of a modern household.
The stylish modern kitchen features stainless steel Miele appliances, Caesarstone benchtops,
contemporary subway tiled splashbacks and an inviting breakfast bar. An under-bench oven, gas cook-top with rangehood, dishwasher and double sink offer family convenience.
A big bonus at this property is the detached rumpus in the back yard. It provides valuable extra living or entertaining space that will win the family over! Ideal for a pool table, media room, studio, teenager’s retreat, games room or man cave, this could be where a lot of family fun takes place!
The rear yard is north facing and includes a covered outdoor entertaining area, large lawn and several fruit trees including apple, peach, lemon, pear, plum, macadamia and peacan. There is undercover parking for 3 vehicles.
Superbly located within easy access to cosmopolitan Henley Beach Road which boasts a vibrant cafe lifestyle. Conveniently located close to excellent shopping and transport. The property is also in the School Zone for the new $100 million Adelaide Botanic High School (opening 2019), located in the city’s Frome Road education and cultural precinct.
