18 Hooking Avenue

Behind an arched brick entry and manicured front garden, this character home reveals real presence and personality. Decorative cornices and ceiling roses, and rich timber joinery run throughout a home thoughtfully extended over more than four decades of single-family ownership. Today it encompasses three bedrooms, a study, two bathrooms and multiple living zones. The front of the home carries its character closest, with the formal lounge anchored by an ornamental fireplace, high ceilings and a chandelier beneath decorative plasterwork. The master bedroom sits behind the front bay window, framed by floor-to-ceiling timber wardrobes and a built-in window seat. Beyond the original footprint, the home opens into a light-filled living and dining zone with timber French doors offering a direct connection to the garden and verandah. The kitchen is centred on solid timber cabinetry and a Belling five-burner gas stove, with a skylight drawing natural light into the kitchen and views back through an ornate archway to the living area. Two further bedrooms each have their own timber built-in robes, while the main bathroom pairs a corner spa bath with a striking window and the second bathroom adds tessellated floor tiling at the opposite end of the home. Step outside and the verandah makes its own statement, with a gabled roof sheltering a brick-paved entertaining area that overlooks the lawn and surrounding garden beds. A separate rumpus room provides a games room, home office or teenage retreat, while a shed adds practical storage at the rear. With its depth of character, scale of living and a position in one of Adelaide's most tightly held inner-east pockets, this is a home that will appeal to families and character-focused buyers wanting space, personality and a Royston Park address with lasting appeal. The home is currently zoned for East Adelaide School and Marryatville High School, though zoning should always be confirmed with the SA school finder at the time of sale. Additional features include: • Ducted evaporative cooling and gas heating throughout • Split system air conditioning in the living room • Ceiling fans to bedrooms 2 and 3, the living area and verandah • Asko dishwasher • Dual-length carport with automatic roller door • Curtains and sheer curtains throughout • Separate laundry with linen cupboard Disclaimer: Please note that all the information that has been provided for this property has been obtained from sources we believe to be accurate.
