Proudly positioned on an expansive 975m² parcel in one of Adelaide's most prestigious and tightly held suburbs, this timeless 1925 Bungalow in Highgate is a stunning fusion of character, charm, and contemporary living. Brimming with street appeal, the home's manicured gardens and inviting façade hint at the grandeur within-a residence that has been thoughtfully updated while preserving the beautiful architectural hallmarks of its era.
Beyond the classic facade, you are welcomed into a wide, elegant hallway framed by soaring ornate ceilings and intricate fretwork. This is a home that celebrates its heritage while offering every modern convenience. Boasting up to five spacious bedrooms plus a separate study, it provides superb flexibility for growing families or those seeking a work-from-home lifestyle. A formal lounge at the front of the home, complete with plantation shutters, French doors, character fireplace and a gas log fire, offers a serene retreat or an ideal fifth bedroom.
The heart of the home lies at the rear, where an expansive open plan kitchen, living, and dining space bathes in natural light and opens seamlessly to the outdoor entertaining area. Recently updated, the kitchen is a dream for home chefs, featuring sleek stone benchtops, statement pendant lighting, Smeg appliances including wall oven, four-burner gas cooktop and dishwasher, and a large island bench perfect for casual meals and conversation. French doors lead you out to the generous alfresco deck, ideal for year-round entertaining while overlooking lush gardens and a sparkling, solar-ready, built-in swimming pool surrounded by elegant glass fencing.
The accommodation is headlined by a beautifully appointed master suite tucked privately at the rear, complete with walk-in robe, French doors to the garden, and a luxurious ensuite boasting a freestanding feature bath, frameless shower, floor-to-ceiling tiling, and wall-hung vanity. The family bathroom has also been recently renovated in a matching contemporary style, ensuring a cohesive sense of comfort and quality throughout the home.
Every detail has been carefully considered, from the comfort of ducted reverse cycle heating and cooling, to the large double garage, to the environmental and cost-saving benefits of a 13kW solar system. Plantation shutters add a touch of refinement, while the established rear garden offers space for children to play, mature fruit trees including lemon and lime, and a true sense of suburban sanctuary.
Superbly located just moments from a selection of Adelaide's finest schools, including Concordia College, Highgate Primary, and Unley High, with easy access to Seymour, Mercedes, Walford, Scotch, and Urrbrae Agricultural.
