4/43 Smith-Dorrien Street, Mitcham SA 5062

To call it a 'unit' simply wouldn't do justice to this set-back, standalone community-titled home that hides in its own glorious world, warms the heart of mid-century enthusiasts and stretches out on a generous parcel with parking, shedding and the most productive lemon tree this side of the city.

Close the gate behind you and those city stresses are replaced with an enduring home defined by its vast light-grabbing glazing, classic low-pitched roofline and an open-plan social hub with beamed, straw-clad ceilings that will have you saying, "where do we sign".

Periodic updates ensure this '72-built home is primed for the 21st-century dweller in search of three bedrooms, privacy, plenty of storage and excuses to entertain, inside and out.

The kitchen featuring a Miele dishwasher and views over your covered, north-facing courtyard wraps unobtrusively into the corner of that gloriously open layout, ensuring there's room to dine and relax at its tiled feet.

The butler's pantry embodies the cleverly resolved practicality of this storage-laden home that keeps life clutter-free and makes beautiful use of every square inch, inside and out.

Clerestory windows ensure light washes over the bedrooms and modern bathroom of the eastern wing. You can see out. No one sees in.

High fencing hides this deceptively large parcel away from the passing world to create a truly peaceful suburban haven with sprawling lawns, covered places to entertain, parking for a small fleet and two sheds; one new, the other powered and ready for your big toys or latest project.

Mitcham Square makes those errands a breeze, Brown Hill Creek's trails wait within a stroll and public transport brings the CBD into comfortable reach. With Scotch College and Unley High School positioned nearby, this tightly-held suburb underscores the home's long term appeal. Stay a while. Stay forever.
