Held by the one family for almost 30 years, this exceptional character bungalow presents a rare opportunity to secure a beautifully maintained home on approximately 777sqm in the prestigious suburb of Hawthorn. Behind the classic picket fence and manicured front garden lies a residence of warmth, elegance and impressive scale, offering four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a spectacular open-plan living domain overlooking an idyllic garden and swimming pool.
From the moment you arrive, the home's timeless appeal is evident. The beautifully presented façade, established gardens and convenient carport set the tone for the quality and care found throughout.
Inside, polished timber floorboards, soaring ornate ceilings and original fireplaces create a sense of character and charm, seamlessly complemented by modern comforts including ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling. All bedrooms are generously proportioned and feature ceiling fans and built-in storage. The master bedroom is quite lovely, complete with a fireplace and a recently renovated ensuite showcasing stone benchtops, floor-to-ceiling tiling and a frameless shower. A central formal lounge at the front of the home provides an inviting space to relax by the ambient fireplace.
The undeniable centrepiece of the home is the expansive open-plan kitchen and family room. With its soaring gabled ceiling and windows on three sides, this light-filled space captures stunning views of the beautiful garden surrounds. The kitchen is superbly appointed with granite benchtops, a five-burner gas cooktop, Miele dishwasher and double sink, making it as functional as it is stylish.
Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, the family room opens via two French doors to a vast paved alfresco area beneath a gabled pergola, complete with ceiling fans for year-round comfort. Beyond, the lush rear garden is a private oasis, featuring manicured lawns, flowering borders and graceful weeping mulberry trees. The solar-heated in-ground swimming pool is perfectly positioned at the rear of the allotment, providing endless enjoyment for children and a tranquil outlook for entertaining.
Renowned as one of South Australia's premier suburbs, Hawthorn offers a vibrant café and lifestyle scene, with favourites such as The Pantry on Egmont, The Other Ostrich & Bond, Bond & Lane and The Local Crowd close by. Boutique shopping along King William and Unley Roads, as well as Mitcham Village and Pasadena Green, further enhance the area's appeal.
Ideally located less than 7km from the Adelaide CBD, the home is within easy reach of Westbourne Park Primary School, Colonel Light Gardens and Mitcham Primary School, Unley High School and Mitcham Girls High School.
