Situated in arguably the suburb's best street, with a prized south-north orientation, sweeping frontage and serene position at the feet of Scotch College, Mitcham Reserve and Brown Hill Creek; the suburban dream can take many forms on this flat 1451m2(approx) piece of prestigious Torrens Park.
What is an eminently liveable double brick home today is destined for make way for a bolder vision in a suburb that's no stranger to grand homes on vast blocks.
For some, that vision is one big architectural statement; the forever home that pushes deep into the block, turns its back to the street and opens itself to the northern rear, mature greenery, birdlife and the beautiful hush of the foothills.
For others, the frontage and land size suggest an equally compelling path: two detached side-by-side homes (STCC), each with more than 700sqm to themselves.
Big dreams take time to plot, and the beauty here is that the existing 1966 home gives you breathing room while the future takes shape.
Its current footprint is far more accommodating than the three-bedroom count suggests, with multiple living zones, a family room, lounge, dining area, kitchen and meals zone, a walk-in robe to the main bedroom, updated wet areas, a rear entertaining deck, vast pergola, garage, rumpus room and shed.
Live in it, rent it, land bank it or start sketching tomorrow. The value sits in the rare combination of size, frontage, orientation and setting, with a comfortable home simply making the wait easier.
Walkable to Scotch College, Mitcham Reserve, Brown Hill Creek, The Edinburgh Hotel and Mitcham Square, and not much further from quality public schools, cosmopolitan Unley and King William Roads, the CBD and coast; Torrens Park gives you the rare luxury of leafy foothills atmosphere without drifting to far from everything that matters.
