Overview

Such a Beautiful Canvas with Period Proportions & Future Promise

Discover the broad appeal of this gracious three-bedroom period home offering an enticing combination of position, proportions and possibility, situated in a gently evolving pocket surrounded by other wonderful character homes and stylish new builds.

Located on a quiet tree-lined street, this tightly-held property known as "Comrie" is an impressive circa 1910 Return Style Villa where many cherished memories have been created. The home is complemented by sunlit gardens and is conveniently close to picturesque Glenunga Reserve, Burnside Village shopping precinct, and the Hazelwood Swimming Centre, making it an ideal setting for family life.

The residence boasts generous proportions and early-century architectural details including Baltic Pine floors, soaring ceilings, deep skirtings, ceiling roses, hallway timber fretwork, stunning leadlight windows, and beautiful open fireplaces with decorative mantels throughout. These features provide a compelling foundation for a statement renovation or extension.

Beyond the neat front garden, which features a magnificent Jacaranda tree, the home capitalizes on its prized position with expansive living areas extending beyond the gracious North-Eastern verandah. The leadlight entry and wide entry hall lead to a beautiful lounge with a feature fireplace and three large bedrooms, all blending comfort, character, and tranquility. The dine-in family kitchen retains its vintage wood-burning cooker and provides access to the cellar. Off the rear lobby, the sleek, newly renovated bathroom impresses with a spa bath, walk-in shower, oak vanity, and twin mirrored cabinets.

The property has been beautifully cared for with respect for its original charm. Additional highlights include ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning throughout, built-in robes in all bedrooms, carpeted lounge, stainless steel European electric oven with a 5-burner gas cooktop, Rinnai 'Infinity' water temperature control in the bathroom, a separate laundry with a second W.C., and a spacious dry cellar accessed by a gated staircase adjacent to the kitchen. The high front privacy fence and gated driveway provide security, while off-street parking accommodates up to seven cars. The rear yard features lawn and gravel areas suitable for playing petanque and alfresco entertaining.

This property offers the opportunity to be part of a vibrant community, with a short walk to the high school and Glenunga Hub, close proximity to bus stops, Firle Foodland supermarket, premium childcare, and easy access to Burnside Village, the CBD, and Norwood Parade. It is zoned for Glen Osmond and Linden Park Primary Schools and Glenunga International High School, with other nearby schools including St Raphael's Primary School, Seymour and Concordia Colleges, and Urrbrae Agricultural High School.

Whether you choose to reimagine this classic family favourite or establish a new benchmark in Eastern Suburbs luxury with a contemporary rebuild or designer redevelopment (subject to planning consent), this approximately 620 square meter parcel with a 16 meter frontage presents an extraordinary opportunity.
