Reminiscent of something from Unley Park, this grand sandstone bungalow takes the suburban prestige of the opulent 1920s and places it on the gum-studded doorstep of the Belair National Park...
The end result is not only a home of substance, character and charm - but a leisure-filled haven of boundless freedom on a gorgeous parcel with some 1700sqm, an in-ground pool, alfresco pavilion, parking for a fleet, and sprawling lawns on a sleepy no-through road.
Last year marked its 100th orbit around the sun, making this beautifully restored and extended home a proud piece of Belair history - with a deceptively close (20-minutes) connection to the CBD.
That extension connects sympathetically to an original home with three indulgently large bedrooms, library/formal lounge, soaring ornate ceilings, Baltic pine floors, marble-framed fireplaces and colourful leadlight.
With its character comes a new period-style kitchen boasting stone tops, an Ariston vintage style 1200mm freestanding oven and shaker cabinetry.
The extension - a lounge room with remote skylights, architecturally angled ceilings and a pool view - is also the gateway to what you might think is the master bedroom, courtesy of its ensuite bathroom.
Think again.
You can thank the current owners for many things, including the 4-car-carport, landscaped gardens, that 9x5m pool, and a powered shed.
Yet, that kitchen aside, the best addition of all might just be the dressing room and ultra-modern ensuite added only a few months ago to the largest bedroom of all in the original home.
Just moments from St Johns Grammar School, Scotch and Mercedes Colleges, the many conveniences of Blackwood and those countless hiking trails, it's a special home in a pretty special spot.
