Overview

This property uniquely blends the charm of a classic 1920s bungalow with a striking modern architectural extension, creating a thoughtfully designed family home on a generous 729 square meter plot.

The original character residence boasts lofty ceilings and generous bedrooms that preserve its historical appeal while providing comfortable living. At the rear, an award-winning architectural addition introduces a sculptural roofline and a rich material palette of exposed red brick, polished concrete, and timber, crafted with a keen eye for tactile detail and passive design principles.

Natural light is prioritized through the twisting northern raked roofline and extensive double glazing, maximizing solar gain in winter while deep eaves mitigate summer heat. The concrete slab floor not only anchors the design aesthetically but also provides thermal mass to regulate temperature effectively throughout the seasons.

At the heart of the home lies an expansive concrete kitchen island equipped with electric appliances and breakfast seating, serving as a social hub that connects effortlessly to the north-facing deck via a large sliding glass wall. This seamless indoor-outdoor flow invites relaxed entertaining and lifestyle enjoyment, with the garden, lawn, and mature vegie beds extending the living spaces.

Three well-proportioned bedrooms with original features enhance the home's sense of space and heritage.
A modern bathroom features both an oversized freestanding bath and a generous shower, balancing convenience with style.
Additional living zones include a separate lounge featuring a gas heater and French doors opening to a sheltered deck area, encouraging various modes of family living and socializing.
Sustainability is thoughtfully considered with solar panels and multiple rainwater tanks, supporting an environmentally conscious lifestyle.
Practical elements such as ducted airconditioning, combustion fire, and extensive insulation provide year-round comfort and noise reduction.
Ample off-street parking and a separate shed offer functional storage and convenience on this quiet, well-located street.

Situated in Cowandilla, this home benefits from proximity to parks, local schools, and bustling Henley Beach Road amenities, offering both convenience and lifestyle appeal. The location provides easy access to Adelaide city and nearby beaches, making it an excellent choice for families and professionals seeking a distinctive residence within an established neighbourhood.
