There is an honesty to a mid-century double-brick home that you just can't replicate in a modern build. While new developments are squeezing onto smaller allotments, this 708sqm slice of St Marys offers exactly what most young families are actually looking for: space to breathe, room for the dog to run, and a lawn big enough for a serious game of backyard cricket.
The current owners have spent seven years turning this into a home that works for the modern day without stripping away its mid-century soul. The original Jarrah floorboards have been polished to a high gloss, catching the light that pours through the classic mid-century windows. It's a solid, comfortable footprint that feels grounded and permanent.
The kitchen is where the lifestyle really kicks in. It's a functional space featuring a Glem Gas cooktop, Westinghouse oven, and a slim Bosch dishwasher. The servery feel of the layout means you're always part of the conversation, whether the kids are at the dining table or out under the expansive pergola.
That outdoor entertaining area is the heart of the home. It overlooks a backyard that is a rarity today. Beyond the manicured Murraya hedges and pencil pines, you have a deep, flat lawn shaded by a Jacaranda and a Weeping Cherry tree that produces some of the most beautiful blossoms. For the tradie or the hobbyist, the 6x6m powered shed is a game changer, offering serious space that a standard double garage just can't match.
Living on one of the best streets in St Marys means you are a genuine 10 minute walk from your morning coffee at La Crema. You also have the convenience of what has been hailed as one of the world's best supermarkets, Pasadena Foodland, just down the road. To top it off, you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with being zoned for the highly regarded Unley High School.
This is a home with character, updated with quality, on a block that lets you actually live.
