There are a few reasons this 1950s home's third-only owners chose to settle here 30 years ago; one, for its prized Brighton High School zoning, the others, its strolling stretch to Broadway, Glenelg, and Somerton Park Beach.
Yet, what appears as a ready-revival behind a brush fence turns quietly chic from behind
More spacious than its Austerity cousins, this up to four-bedroom Post War Services family home savours an architectural addition (C1990) which almost doubled its girth and granted a second living zone while staying true to its mid-century build.
Its squeals 1950s in the best way, where today's "value-add" is yet to come; keep the vintage alive, rent while you decide, or plan a project of 2019 proportions (STCC) on its worthy 716sqm (approx.) block.
Solid parquet floors swish through the lounge room with open fire and slate hearth, while etched glass dividing doors slide aside for the dining zone, a cabinetry-dense kitchen with updated electric appliances, and a sunny casual meals nook.
Watch the interior tones change by the hour against timber joinery, cedar blinds and architraves as you follow the sun's cues to the family room addition where garden views, ceilings and glass peak to some 3.4m.
Those gardens, while mostly mature natives, are super low-care, and with floor-skimming glass the judge, a landscape reward is its best outcome.
Just remember, that flexible fourth bedroom/rear office stealing light and a backyard aspect through floor-length glass demands its share, too.
Original built-ins to all remaining bedrooms and those style staples of its era - terrazzo and pastel cling to its central bathroom and separate WC.
Locally, your Somerton Park spoils include a Sunday brew at the Mediterranean Caf on Broadway, a tipple in The Holdy's beer garden, a wander to Jetty Road Glenelg, or the city tram for a commute in just 20 minutes.
It's already raised the roof; for the love of mid-century, you'll praise Parry.
