Flawlessly renovated to reveal a stunning and stylish haven carefully woven into the gorgeous footings of this c.1936 sandstone bungalow, 1 Franklin Avenue - striking behind a sublime street frontage of yesteryear charm, Federation brick work and classic portico - offers an idyllic entry into Adelaide's vibrant cosmopolitan west with a home that's equal parts character and modern finesse.
Retaining beautiful hallmark features with a now high-functioning footprint ready to impress friends and family, discover light-spilling open-plan entertaining headlined by the spacious chef's zone with statement 900mm oven and gas cooker clinch this gleaming social hub primed for culinary company. Whether you're wining and dining loved ones or running the household between weekends, the clever addition of a nearby butler's-turn-laundry reflects the level of detail of this well-conceived property.
With a pair of French doors kicking open to two laid back outdoor areas of low-maintenance ease - one for evening barbequing, and the other set for a chilled sundowner by night and aromatic coffee by morning, together with a lofty central lounge room for when relaxing evenings cuddled on the couch call, you'll find no shortage of spots to sit and savour in your new pad.
Family-ready too, the original four-square frontage now boasts three beautifully bright and airy bedrooms, including the skylight-lit master with walk-in wardrobe, and ultra-chic ensuite with under floor heating, spilling with natural light through a sky-window, inviting body-soothing soaks in the sumptuous bath or resort-inspired showering with dual heads and walk-in nook.
Double-driveway access behind lush greenery, flowering roses and secure fencing, bill-busting solar system to run powerful ducted AC year-round, and a slew of lifestyle options that range from popular cafés and eateries dotted along Grange Road, a stone's throw to busy shopping hubs, wonderful access to the iconic Linear Park, and a skip and a jump to the CBD or Adelaide's beachside bliss… this is picture-perfect living with nothing left to do but move in and make memories!
