13 Willingale Avenue, Lockleys SA 5032

Prominently positioned on a 1358sqm corner block backing onto the Kooyonga Golf Club, you'll be hard pressed to find a more impressive landmark home in such a remarkable locale.

Exuding undeniable grace, classic charm and generous proportions, this 1940 Charter Tudor is truly timeless. Its dual frontage street appeal is stunning. In fact you may want to allow some extra time to spend admiring the colonial-style windows, curving brick arches and sheer stature before you venture inside.

The formal entry can only be described as grand. Everywhere is accessible from here, including a spacious front lounge with gorgeous seated bay window and feature gas fireplace; the cosiest of winter retreats.

A north-facing formal dining room is lined with picture windows and adjoins an immaculate eat-in kitchen with dishwasher and enough bench and cupboard space to keep any home cook happy.

Also on the ground floor is an enviable master bedroom with beautiful built-in robes, spacious bathroom with spa bath/shower plus separate shower, and a study/fifth bedroom option.

Upstairs, a generous landing can be utilised however you wish; children's' activities area, home office or another living space, along with another three to four bedrooms that are equally flexible, all serviced by a central second bathroom.

Outside, flagstone paving lays beneath a living pergola among established gardens and abundant greenery that creates the most intimate of alfrescos. Overlooking a generous strip of lawn, it's the perfect place to enjoy a long lunch while little legs tire themselves out.

The finer points:

- Separate laundry alongside separate third w/c
- Two electric roller door garages + double-length carport
- Split system reverse cycle air conditioners to ground floor rooms
- An abundance of storage

But there's even more potential, with approval to keep the home and subdivide a 385sqm block at the rear (adjoining the golf course). Food for thought.

In case you weren't already sold on the location, picture slow Sunday strolls for coffee and brunch at your new local haunt, popular Third Time Lucky café; or a leisurely game of golf at your back door; and you're just six minutes to the sandy shores and summer hotspots of Henley. Lockleys, Henley Beach and St Francis Schools are easily accessible, as is the CBD.

Where the heart is willing, it will find a thousand ways. But you'll only need your best bid for Willingale Avenue.
