Some homes make you slow down the moment you see them. This gracious c.1925 bungalow is one of those rare addresses — the kind that draws admiring glances for its street presence alone, set in a city-fringe suburb loved for its genuine village feel.
Behind the beautiful stone façade is a home that has grown and evolved with family life in mind. A substantial 1990s extension opens the house right up to the backyard, where a fully tiled, solar-heated pool becomes the heart of everyday living and entertaining. Add the purpose-built pavilion cabana and suddenly summer afternoons, birthday parties and long evenings with friends feel effortless.
Modern comforts are thoughtfully woven throughout, from 16kW solar and video intercom to alarm system, side-by-side secure garaging and impressive off-street parking via dual driveways and twin automatic gates. It’s a home designed for freedom, flexibility and hosting on a grand scale.
Inside, freshly painted interiors highlight the warmth and character you’d expect — Baltic pine floors, soaring 3.3-metre decorative ceilings and leadlight windows creating spaces that feel both elegant and welcoming. The floorplan is wonderfully forgiving, equally suited to large gatherings or relaxed family downtime.
Indoor-outdoor living is seamless. Oversized sliding glass and sash-less windows frame pool views and connect to a low-maintenance deck, complete with café blinds and a ceiling fan for year-round comfort. Nearby, the modern kitchen anchors the family zone with Miele appliances, while a dedicated cocktail bar — granite benchtops, generous storage and three Vintec fridges — takes entertaining to another level.
Comfort is covered in every season, thanks to Actron Air ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, a feature Rinnai fireplace in the open-plan living area, a gas fireplace in the formal lounge, and decorative fireplaces adding charm to the formal dining or piano room.
Accommodation is equally generous. The main bedroom enjoys a peaceful front position with a renovated ensuite, while all five bedrooms include robes. The fifth bedroom offers flexibility as a guest room or home office, positioned near the timeless family bathroom. A third bathroom off the laundry is a thoughtful addition for pool days and busy households.
Outside, established private gardens wrap around the expansive 1,250m² allotment, creating a sense of calm and space that’s increasingly rare so close to the city.
And then there’s the lifestyle. Walk to Yo-Chi with the kids, meet friends for brunch at Cotto’s, or enjoy a relaxed evening at Rosemont Hall, Prospect Bar & Cellars or Meze Mazi. Prospect Oval, the Tennis Club and elite schools including Blackfriars Priory and Prescott College are all close by, along with prized zoning for Prospect Primary, Adelaide High and Adelaide Botanic High.
Unpretentious yet undeniably prestigious, this is a home made for making memories — now and for many years to come.
