When it feels this good, it’s everything & more the bungalow should be
It’s good to know that St Clair still has a few surprises up its sleeve. This stylish 4-bedroom bungalow is a supreme case in point. Among a handful of original homes gifted to Adelaide’s newest and shiniest suburb, it boasts a beautiful big 773sqm block and a prime position overlooking Woodville High’s playing fields - precious views that can never be built out.
Beyond a reassuringly solid stone façade is a family home humming with crisply conserved character and modern energy, thanks to some uber-cool additions by award-winning JPE Design Studio.
We can’t remember the last time we were treated to such architectural brilliance, nor a ceiling as jaw-droppingly gorgeous as the one in the master bedroom, making this the natural contender for a formal lounge, if desired. Three more doubles offer essential storage - one with fabulous wall-to-wall built-ins; another, a walk-in robe with study nook – all blessed with the polished timber floors that flow throughout, and ideally separated from the living spaces at the rear.
Stepping through the door at the end of the hallway, there’s an explosion of light and green as you take delivery of a sublime eyeful of peppercorn tree and sky. These living spaces, (and the incredibly cool bathroom and laundry that run off them), are a ripper - an open-plan design that, quite literally, lights up your life and gives you the perfect canvas for entertaining…
… starting with drinks around the island bench – a feat of double-sided utility and jarrah-wrapped style in a lavishly large kitchen boasting two ovens and optimal flow. Progress to conservatory-style dining and adjacent family areas, warmed by the sun and a slow combustion stove. Here, clever wrap-around cabinetry including a study bench and hardwood display maximizes floor space while creating pockets of intimacy within the open plan.
As the weather warms, those great glass doors will propel you seamlessly onto the deck and into the gloriously green backyard with its cubby, veggie patch, chook shed and the shade of that peppercorn tree. And it feels so good!
