Nestled pretty behind a fragrant rose-filled garden and just strolling distance, beach towel in tow, to a quiet sandy sweet spot halfway between Grange and Henley Beach Jetties, 8 Derby Street is a stunning sandstone and brick character-style home featuring a charming bay window and an impressive 216 sqm of internal living space.
As charming as it is chic, this inviting single-level residence offers 4 bedrooms (or 3 + a study) and seamlessly combines contemporary comforts with classic elegance. Enjoy modern amenities such as ducted air conditioning and sparkling stainless steel kitchen appliances, alongside beautiful details like ornate ceiling roses, moulded archways, and stained-glass window embellishments. This harmonious blend creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere perfect for both lively entertaining and quiet retreats.
The heart of the home is a spacious open-plan kitchen, family living, and dining area at the rear, which flows out to a fan-cooled alfresco patio. Adjacent is a large, covered pergola with awning blinds, together creating a bright, airy, and private outdoor entertaining space. Everyday inside meals can be enjoyed in a cozy bay-window alcove, while the impeccably appointed modern kitchen boasts sleek countertops and ample storage, making catering a breeze.
For more formal occasions or when the kids take over the streaming service, you can retreat to the carpeted lounge/dining room, accessed through twin archways from the entry passage. Or perhaps you may find yourself slipping away to the blissful master bedroom which overlooks the front garden, offering privacy from the other 3 bedrooms and features a large walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with both a shower and tub.
The expansive grassy yard at the back is ideal for children and pets to play, while the home's close proximity to the beach allows older kids to bike to the seaside for quick dips. As for close by essential amenities, bus stops to the city and East Grange train station are within a few minutes walk, with shopping hubs and zoned schools all only 5-minutes by car!
