Just moments from the shoreline, 53A Kauri Parade is a spacious, architecturally designed Californian bungalow where flexibility, privacy, and coastal ease converge in rare harmony. Wrapped in lush gardens and grounded in original charm, this residence adapts effortlessly - offering space to live, work, host, and retreat within one thoughtfully layered address.
From the street, the home immediately feels private and inviting. Verandahs trace the façade, creating multiple outdoor pockets for morning coffee, quiet reflection, or evening entertaining beneath the trees. Inside, high ceilings, timber floors, leadlight details, and fireplaces honour the home's heritage, while considered upgrades ensure everyday living flows seamlessly.
An intriguing architectural feature of the home is a pair of "secret" window-doors that slide upwards into the ceiling. They appear as elegant windows but function as doors, cleverly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces.
The main residence unfolds with warmth and versatility. Three generous bedrooms - two with built-in robes - are complemented by ceiling fans and flexible living zones that invite both connection and retreat. A central kitchen anchors the home with quality appliances, ample storage, and effortless flow to living, dining, laundry, and outdoor spaces - perfectly suited to daily rhythms and relaxed entertaining. Nearby, the main bathroom blends character with indulgence, featuring a spa bath, shower, and classic finishes.
Adding a rare and highly valuable dimension is the private rear retreat - attached yet entirely self-contained. With its own living area, bedroom, study, and fully-tiled modern bathroom, it offers exceptional flexibility for professionals, students, guests, or extended family - all without compromising privacy.
Established gardens wrap the home in calm and colour, creating a sanctuary-like setting that feels removed from the everyday.
A home that celebrates choice, versatility, and effortless coastal living, 53A Kauri Parade places you just moments from Seacliff Esplanade and surrounded by cafés, shops, and transport links - while the very best of Adelaide's south is at your doorstep, from sunlit beaches to the rolling vineyards of McLaren Vale and the hills beyond.
