Best offers by 12:00pm Tuesday 23rd June (unless sold prior) What begins as a sculptural white bungalow with Art Deco cues, Spanish Mission flourishes and a veil of Palm Springs-style greenery becomes the feel-good suburban dream, extended to play out as the perfect forever home in one of Adelaide's true hidden-treasure suburbs. A deeply recessed portico creates a cool, almost courtyard-like arrival point to this far-reaching, light filled and solar powered home that converges on its crowd-pleasing, sun-chasing rear deck. In between is a versatile, voluminous family home that embraces the enduring beauty of its original 1930s Baltic pine floors, soaring decorative ceilings, timber fretwork and a procession of spacious main rooms, including a park-facing sitting room and bay-windowed dining room. The bedrooms traverse the northern side of this ingeniously expanded home, creating blissful separation in a wing that follows a galley-style hallway framed in a sea of glass and garden views. The main bathroom sharpens the home's old-meets-new story with its monochromatic palette, black fittings, penny-round floor tiles, dual vanity with backlit mirrors and a deep feature freestanding bath. A chic sign of things to come No matter where you are, the home always seems to circle back to its stylish, social star; an open-plan kitchen with stone-benchtops, expansive breakfast bar under designer pendants, Lo & Co pull handles, Italian tapware, freestanding oven, Miele dishwasher, farmhouse sinks and the pop of a pink, fish scale-tiled splashback. From there, the spill to Jarrah-floored living room with cosy fireplace, open-aired deck and boundless yard beyond is as smooth and effortless as the lifestyle this special home affords directly opposite the quaintest of parks/playgrounds, just seconds from the CBD and cosmopolitan Hyde Park. You've made it home.
