Overview

Situated on a prime approximately 1200 sqm corner block with a generous 32-meter frontage, this charming sandstone-fronted bungalow offers a rare blend of timeless character and modern practicality. Originally built in 1927 and thoughtfully updated through the decades, including a significant 1962 redesign by noted architect John Chappel, the home caters comfortably to contemporary family living while preserving its distinctive heritage appeal.

The house incorporates four bedrooms complemented by two updated bathrooms and a refreshed kitchen completed in 2019. These upgrades, alongside enhanced laundry facilities and robust PVC plumbing replacement, ensure functional modernity within the home's original framework. The spacious formal lounge and dining areas, enhanced by polished timber floors and an original fireplace, provide inviting spaces for both relaxation and entertaining.

Provisions for secure parking are exceptional, with a large garage and workshop constructed in 2011, a 2014 carport addition, and space to accommodate up to four vehicles undercover, plus additional off-street parking for trailers or toys. The manicured cottage gardens and lawns contribute to a serene outdoor environment, further enhanced by child- and pet-friendly yards secured with automated electric vehicle gates and outside blinds.

The property's ducted reverse cycle heating and cooling system ensures year-round comfort across all living spaces. Its location within a sought-after 'Forever Suburb' offers convenient access to premier private and public schools—including Scotch College, Mercedes, Walford, and Unley High—plus local shopping, transport options, and an easy commute to the CBD. The considerable land area also presents prospective subdivision or redevelopment possibilities (subject to council consent), appealing to buyers looking to invest or create a multi-dwelling future.

This versatile residence is well-suited to families seeking both immediate comfortable living and the flexibility to adapt over time, whether through renovation, extension, or reinvention. Its enduring appeal, combined with a prestigious address and abundant potential, make it a significant opportunity in the Torrens Park market.
