42 Herbert Road, West Croydon SA 5008

In a quiet street, a trending suburb, and just steps to West Croydon's hottest new playground, this renovated bungalow goes beyond artistic stobie poles, quirky cafes and easy city reach

It blends family value in a classically extended 1925 footprint.

Beyond secure electric gates, freshly painted exteriors greet the home's polished Baltic boards and period details enhanced by its impressive family stretch.

Where scale starts with all 4 bedrooms offering decorative fireplaces and ceilings, fans and built-ins, in a layout ready to give as the brood contracts or expands.

Whether you drop a bedroom for a 2nd living room or nest needy toddlers together in a king-sized suite - this home has done both.

And 2 facelifted bathrooms add harmonious division for teens, guests or extras - the light-filled main has a step-up spa while the second to the rear splits a powder room from its shower space, both gifted new vanities and cabinetry.

Despite carrying forward the home's character and 3.2m ceilings, the quality-built double brick and open plan extension is arguably outclassed by the custom kitchen.

A design blending waterfall stone tops, 2-pac joinery, a semi-integrated Miele dishwasher, Belling stove, and a butler's pantry casting mess aside; it crosses every wish off the list.

French doors flank the living zone making it the go-to for gatherings - wired for sound, indoors and out, and leading to a garden presenting its own benefits.

Cafe blinds separate the soaring alfresco from child's play, where a pool-sized lawn meets a detached garage - a one-day worthy studio or games room - and nearby, secure car parking for 4.

And as an immaculate family home for 14 years to owners who've only ever moved a few streets in 25 years, it says plenty about the suburb

The spoils - revamped MJ McInerney Reserve tempting kids far and wide with its ball courts and skate park, single minute strides to the train station, moments to Welland Plaza for shopping, and 8kms to Grange beach.

Enough said. Head to Herbert.
