Some homes preserve the past. Others improve on it.
Set behind the picture-perfect façade of C1926 bungalow, 66 Sturt Avenue is firmly the latter - taking the character and craftsmanship define its era, then stretching confidently into a rear extension that understands exactly how modern life likes to unfold.
The original home wears its history with pride. Soaring moulded ceilings, polished timber floors, fireplaces, pressed-tin detailing and elegant wainscoting celebrate its heritage with quiet confidence, while every enhancement respects what came before.
A wide central hallway sets the tone, threading through two generous bedrooms with built-in robes before arriving at a beautifully proportioned central lounge. A separate sitting room and dedicated study with its own external access add another layer of flexibility, whether that's a home office, consulting space, or kids' retreat.
Then it changes pace.
The rear extension prioritises connection, anchored by a galley kitchen that keeps every occasion moving with ease. Stainless-steel appliances, generous preparation space, and a broad servery bench overlook a dedicated dining area and expansive family zone, creating one seamless social hub where everyone naturally comes together.
A fourth bedroom quietly extends the home's versatility, while a spacious family bathroom, and separate laundry keep routines running without compromise.
Sliding doors peel back to an entertainer's pavilion that feels like another living room entirely, where a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with BeefEater gas barbecue and drinks fridge ensures the host never misses a moment. Beyond, lush lawns leave plenty of room for pets, backyard cricket, and long afternoons in the sunshine, while a substantial workshop stands ready for hobbies, hands-on projects, or serious storage.
Rear lane access, reverse-cycle air conditioning, ceiling fans, irrigation, a secure carport, and additional off-street parking complete a home where every practical detail has already been considered.
Beyond the front gate, the lifestyle is every bit as compelling. Kent Road Reserve sits almost as an extension of your own front yard, while Colonel Light Gardens Primary and Clapham Primary are within easy reach, alongside zoning for Unley High School and proximity to Scotch and Mercedes Colleges. Torrens Park Railway Station keeps the city commute simple, Brown Hill Creek rewards the weekends, and Hark Coffee, Local Crowd, the Panorama Hotel, Pasadena Foodland, and Mitcham Square ensure every coffee, dinner, grocery run, and movie night is never far from home.
Respectfully preserved where it matters, brilliantly extended where it counts - this is Colonel Light Gardens at its most complete.
