Positioned along a leafy, character-filled street only 3km from the southern end of town, this sandstone-fronted family-size bungalow might look all classic from the street, but it's full of surprises out back where it boasts not only an incredible party deck but a self-contained 1-bedroom studio.
Built in 1925, the home has retained many hallmarks of its prized era – the big, shady front porch opening into a welcoming wide central passage with stunning timber flooring that continues into 4 generous bedrooms, all with ornate decorative ceilings and timber framed sash windows.
In the extended back half, modern, large format floor tiles span a light-filled, open plan living/dining area, but there are subtle connections to the past with timber architraves into the full-height tiled main bathroom, and solid timber cabinetry embracing the adjacent kitchen's suite of sparkling stainless-steel appliances.
If there are sports fans or movie buffs in the family, they'll love the amazing alfresco space that runs just under 12m across the back of the house. Timber decked and with exposed framing in the gabled roof above, it has a twin rangehood at one end, all ready to crank the BBQ up, wall-connection for a big screen opposite, twin fans and side screens for extra shade if you like. Imagine game day or a movie marathon out here!
The final bonus feature is the self-contained studio that sits well back from the double carport. Comprising a good-size bedroom, bathroom with shower, and combined living/meals area with kitchenette – this would make a brilliant teen retreat or private lodgings for long-stay guests/live in-laws. Best of all, this incredible home is within a leisurely walk to a lovely park as well as trams to town or Glenelg – and well serviced by local shopping, dining and schools.
