On land carved from the adjacent orchards in Fraser Street eons ago comes the storybook charm of a circa 1948 family home, its classic vintage ready to turn a new page.
Owned for life by one proud family, this well-preserved home isn't measured by bedrooms and living spaces but instead by happy milestones, those "remember when" moments of all-day fun in a garden where Mother's Day plantings marked moments in time.
Where whitewashed pickets and breeze block fencing frame treasured roses still blooming 50 years after careful transit from Clarendon; heirlooms from yet another generation.
And inside and out, is a home with an air of 1950s Vogue about it; style typifying mid-century with copper handle ware, exquisite chandeliers and decorative cornicing.
Even the back-door bread box lives on, dating back to when fresh loaves and veg were hand-delivered.
Today, reluctantly for sale, its lucky new owners gain rewarding scope to rewrite its light and spacious floorplan.
Lift the carpets and polish the boards, strip the floral friezes and wallpaper, or foresee the bay-windowed lounge and its sunlit, sidelining study as another bedroom with a dressing room.
The days of Sunday roasts in the formal dining room are done, but its valuable space beside the bold, sign-of-its-time retro kitchen says drop a wall and make way for modern open plan.
Opposite the entry, two double-sized bedrooms meet an updated central bathroom, while the backyard's riot of spring colour remains the prized view of the north-facing casual meals and family room, given garden access via French doors.
Full of happy flashbacks, the solid bones of the home have the mobility to meet the next generation and an all-new forever, if you let it…
With an easy drop-off to Scotch and Mercedes Colleges or Unley and Mitcham Girls High Schools, the cinemas, café and retail array of Mitcham Square, and bus or train reach in walkable minutes - why wouldn't you?
