Old-world charm meets modern design at 86 Fourth Avenue, Joslin. With its striking sandstone villa front, this leafy suburban home celebrates its 1910s origins while championing new era design, creating an idyllic family haven.
A verge decorated with blooming agapanthus, a lush shrub fence and a wrap-around veranda are immediately inviting, welcoming you to the three-bedroom property. Stained glass, soaring ceilings and federation details make up the bright entrance, sun flooding the central corridor and living space through large windows.
These elements flow through the entire floorplan, creating a sense of harmony between 86 Fourth Avenue’s cosy, communal rooms and spacious bedrooms. Timber flooring, built-in robes and ornate fireplaces star in the private bedrooms, each room further serviced by an airy terrazzo and subway-tiled family bathroom.
A fourth, front-facing space is also ready to transform into a large and light bedroom, home study or additional living space. The home is also fitted with modern amenities, like the recently updated reverse-cycle air-con and AIPhone Video intercom system.
The open-plan kitchen is the heart of this family home. Stainless steel benchtops maximise space and make this communal hub the perfect place for entertaining. Enjoy views over your lush lawn as you whip up a mouth-watering home-cooked meal for your brood or host the dinner party of your dreams in the connecting dining room. Timber French doors open onto a large, sheltered deck, creating a sense of cohesion between the living quarters and outside world, while festoon lighting brings an immediate warmth to this al-fresco area.
The overhanging lights journey from the deck down to the paved outdoor dining area – a place that’s perfect for summer soirees. Entertain your nearest and dearest in the space of your choice: around a communal table or crowded around a toasty firepit. Towering trees (some laden with ripe citrus) and verdant flower beds create a garden paradise. And even the greenest home gardeners will enjoy the produce grown in the at-home veggie patch. The outdoor space is complete with a shed and vine-wrapped double carport, spacious enough to stow your weekend getaway car or campervan.
While the homely features of this family estate are enviable, the sense of community that arrives from this suburban locale sets this property apart. Joslin Reserve is a minute’s walk from 86 Fourth Avenue, equipped with a colourful playground and tennis court. Close by, Linear Parkway is perfect for weekend bike rides or post-work runs. Adelaide CBD is also only a 10-minute drive, and you’re a short distance from Walkerville.
