Demanding attention on its big corner block in one of Adelaide's smallest suburbs is 'Talunga', a gentleman's bungalow that gets better with age and every step, just a six-minute drive from the CBD's southern parklands.
One of the first homes to grace the area, 'Talunga' takes cues from the character homes of neighbouring Millswood and Black Forest and then wraps them up on a quiet leafy street with near-instant tram access to the city and sea.
It's never looked better because the current owners have paid the ultimate homage to its past with an extensive reboot, which includes a new kitchen to go with its re-energised original features.
Whether it's the sandstone facade, jarrah and pine floors, brick-laden fireplaces, leadlight, lofty ornate ceilings or prominent timber detailing; those 1920s calling cards sing like the day they were made in a 4-bedroom home with a flexible, light-filled mix of formal and casual spaces.
The extra wide entry foyer sets a spacious tone on your journey from the front formal lounge to bedrooms each as expansive as the next, until it all opens up to reveal a rear bay-windowed extension with parquetry floors and instant access to a paved yard.
The kitchen's sash windows are the connection to the past amongst a brand new mix of stainless steel appliances, subway tile splashbacks and plenty of storage.
Set back on the block, the paved rear courtyard will host quaint summer dinners - leaving a truly expansive front for those garden parties. It's time to celebrate 'Talunga'.
