When you announce to family and friends "I just bought a house in Malvern", the response will be rapturous and laced with envy - after all, most of us know how good life is in this iconic city fringe suburb.
They'll know that the streets are lined with trees, traffic is seemingly non-existent, the finest shopping and dining is part and parcel, and some of Adelaide's best schools and colleges are yours to zone.
And when they ask about the home itself, you can tell them...
Original leadlight, manicured gardens, period timber detailing and earthy sandstone make this circa 1920s character cottage a picture from the street.
That lashings of fresh paint have given the nostalgic appeal of its timber architraves and period lighting a new lease on life.
Tell them that all three bedrooms are roomy, light blessed and carpeted in comfort; that the master's ensuite is deceptively large and features a walk-in shower and stone benches.
Tell them that entertaining will be etched in the style of a modern, versatile and spacious open-plan rear extension; that the cooking will be a breeze in the contemporary kitchen boasting Essastone-laden benches and Samsung stainless steel appliances.
Explain to them that picture windows grant views of a serene rear yard; that summer will spill onto the paved patio; that the kids will have plenty grass to play on; and that every last dimension of your 370sqm of land has a purpose.
Or you could just invite them all over to celebrate - either way, they'll be very happy for you.
