Originally constructed in the 40's by the vendors' grandparents on their parents land, this red brick tudor meets art deco style home is set to bring charm and whimsy to your everyday on Howard.
Beautifully updated over the last decade to create a character-filled two-storey family home, settle in for a warm and stylish home life just ten minutes to the shores of Henley Beach in the wide tree-lined streets of Underdale.
The home is preceded by striking landscaping that frames the facade. Originally the site of market gardens, excellent soil will grow just about anything, and is currently nurturing a picturesque market garden that includes mandarin, lemon, lime, orange, ruby grapefruit, apricot and plum trees, as well as chillis, tomatoes and rocket.
Constructed in red double brick, captivating angles lifted by white accents guide you to the covered porch, complete with original terrazzo floors and a leadlight entry.
Step through the entry onto original jarrah floors. Solid timber flooring is a feature throughout the ground floor and was honoured in the contemporary 2014 extension, while 3.1m ceilings throughout the ground floor are home to wonderful ceiling rose designs that vary room to room.
To the right of the entry the main bedroom enjoys large windows and plantation shutters, a walk-in robe and ensuite. The chic ensuite includes a walk-in shower complete with dual shower heads, pendant lighting, a modern vanity, and a Rinnai temperature controller.
To the left of the entry, a formal lounge includes a lovely original mantle, now home to an instant gas feature fireplace. The lounge flows through leadlight sliding doors to the formal dining, your scene for intimate dinner parties.
Down the central hall, find a fourth bedroom or study, a powder room, and a modern laundry that connects to the carport and plenty of storage, a practical theme of the home.
Open plan living gets an instant tick with that favoured north-facing orientation, and a red brick feature wall that nods to the original 40's construction. Enjoy a comfortable lounge with another feature fireplace, ceiling fans, sleek linear A/C vents, and wiring for surround sound.
The dining room and a huge kitchen complete the picture for indoor entertaining.Enjoy a vast breakfast bar that expands between seamless Corian benchtops and pendant lighting, Miele appliances including a 900mm gas cooktop, and tons of storage including display cabinetry.
Running the width of the home, a huge enclosed outdoor entertaining space includes an open fireplace, quality pavers, and sliding doors that slide all the way back to the lawn beyond. There's also a fabulous fire pit area and wiring in place for a spa, if it suits.
For larger celebrations, continue around the corner under the covered comfort of the carport. For everyday, embrace the exceptional quiet of the backyard, with only the soundtrack of birdsong.
Upstairs, character round windows draw natural light in. Enjoy hardy dark stained timber floors and find two more bedrooms plus the contemporary main bathroom, fully-tiled and complete with a stylish vanity and rain shower.
Two huge bedrooms include large windows and awesome views, with fans installed for comfort, and pendant lighting and plantation shutters to bedroom three. Adjacent loft spaces to each create floorplan flexibility, be it your home office, additional bedroom, storage, or dramatic walk-in robes.
