House description

“Classic Bungalow on Corner Allotment: Intertwining Antiquity with Family Living”

This rare and beautiful home is traditionally known as a gentleman's residence or gentleman's bungalow. Built mostly in the 1920s and 1930s, it is a style of house larger than the suburban bungalow, and a class above the ordinary bungalow, too, being distinguished by the use of different building materials such as freestone, as this stunning home is.

Designed in the 1920s and finished in 1930, this classic example of a finer style boasts heritage features that are found only in genuine original character homes preserved from the era. Yet it is discreet in its opulence, being sheltered by a high ivy covered fence allowing privacy and full use of an archetypal corner allotment. A wide sandstone verandah under the main roof provides the welcome statement, luring us further into the home.

Leadlight windows, high ceilings with ornate cornices and ceiling roses plus classic picture rails and dark timber finishes become immediately noticeable when entering the home to a gallery-style hallway.

Two of the five bedrooms are at the front of the home, both showcasing these heritage features along with preserved fire places and striking ceilings. A sitting room with an ornate timber stair case provides the perfect formal reception room, with stained glass windows, timber fire place and decorative ceilings all contributing to the rich history. The grandeur continues with the adjacent formal lounge, complete with dome ceiling.

A classic timber kitchen proffers stainless steel appliances with modern bench tops. Direct access to the formal dining is a perfect set up for your dinner parties. The original cupboards add a pleasant sense of antiquity. The casual dining room is adjacent to the kitchen in the other direction, with a large bay window ensuring a light and bright room, complemented by a timber roof and French doors leading to an outdoor entertaining deck with shade sail over.

A laundry with built-in clothes line is of generous proportion and a heritage style bathroom complete with leadlight windows, claw foot bath and a bidet, takes care of both the residents and the guests. As is characteristic of the gentleman's residence, bedrooms 3 and 4 are upstairs, and both are serviced by a second bathroom.

The property has prized dual street access. A driveway from Flora Terrace will accommodate parking for up to three cars and a single carport with roller door, accessed from Union Street, gives undercover secure parking for another car. The home offers several outdoor living options including two verandahs under the main roof, the deck and shade sail off the meals area, and a shade cloth pergola on the western side of the home, which captures the afternoon sun delightfully.

Quietly located on a corner allotment and within easy reach of a diverse range of amenities the home provides ready access to all that this family friendly suburb offers, including playground and lawned areas of Memorial Gardens, tennis courts and Prospect Oval all at the end of the street.

Prospect Road has retained its village feel with its hive of shops and unique local businesses providing a diverse range of shopping and food experiences, where you can relax over coffee or indulge in fine dining experience. Supermarkets are also but a short walk away and slightly further afield is the North Adelaide shopping precinct.

Local schools include Prospect Primary, Nailsworth Primary, Rosary School, Prescott College and Blackfriars Priory School. This is a rare chance to own one of Adelaide's finer, traditional homes in a much-coveted street of a suburb named for its beautiful prospect by the gazetteer over 175 years ago.
