A simply charming renovated, character-filled bungalow located in the heart of Kingswood – a perfect family home.
Introducing you to an immaculately presented bungalow, which features a Basket Range stone frontage and delightful art deco touches, sitting proudly on a corner allotment in the heart of Kingswood.
Nestled behind a high, fully fenced front garden that is filled with fruit trees, exotic orchids, and glorious rose bushes, sits this stunning and expansive bungalow. As you approach the home, take the time to appreciate the craftsmanship, admiring how they seamlessly matched the new stonework of the two extensions either side of the original home into the original stone. Impressively, the Basket Range stone used in the original home and the extensions were sourced from the same quarry area in the Adelaide Hills.
Upon entering the home, you are welcomed in by the wide entry hall and you immediately begin to appreciate just how wonderful this home is. You will be impressed by the highly polished Jarrah floors, which feature throughout the original part of the home and the high, ornate ceilings and decorative cornices which are simply stunning!
The home has been stylishly presented with hints of art deco design in the light fittings and the beautiful stained glass windows throughout that have all been made by the current owner.
On your left as you enter the home is the formal lounge room, complete with gas fired open fireplace and bay window, drawing in the northern sun light, a fabulous place to sit and relax.
On the opposite side of the entry hall is your main bedroom suite, which was added to the home in 2019, features a walk in robe and a stunning, beautifully appointed and spacious light filled ensuite. The dual stone hand basins were hand crafted in the Middle East the vanity top is stone from Kashmir and this all sits beneath the large art deco wall mirror, matching the width of the double vanity.
The original part of the home also features the smallest of the 4 bedrooms, complete with built-in and would make an ideal study if not required as a bedroom. There is also the family bathroom with its art deco pedestal basin, sourced from the UK.
Behind the formal living room is a lobby area. The spiral staircase leads to the upstairs double bedroom suite, also added in 2019, complete with built-in robes, study and lounge area and its own ensuite bathroom. Leading off the lobby area, there is another double bedroom with full height and width built-in robes plus ensuite! The ensuite was added by the current owners in 2013 and this particular bedroom was added pre 2010 by the previous owners.
Making your way now to the living and entertaining part of the home, you will see the centrepiece of this area, the stunning and very chic Blum Kitchen. If you love your cooking and entertaining, this home and more specifically, this space, was made for you!
The kitchen was installed in 2019 and features all Siemens appliances which includes 4 ovens:
- 2 x convection ovens
- A combined microwave and convection oven
- A steam oven that has never been used.
Then there is the induction cooktop that is sleek and modern, 2 dishwashers, one for the main kitchen and the other in the Butlers Pantry. The design of the overhead cupboards is sublime, they open with effortless ease as they rise up and out.
Like the rest of the house, storage in the kitchen is plentiful with the drawers either side of the island bench which features a Caesar Stone bench top. Behind the kitchen is the utilities space with the Butlers Pantry, laundry plus a powder room.
The kitchen forms part of the large open-plan kitchen/living/dining area that also has a "study nook" tucked away at the back. An ideal space for homework to be done, or a home office if required. The living area of the home has full height and width windows overlooking the back garden that features a spacious and private Alfresco dining area under the pitched roof.
Beneath the rear garden bed is 32,000 litres of stored rainwater in sealed tanks which are plumbed into the house and water for the garden. The current owners, a couple, have said that, on average, this stored water, which is filtered before it comes into the house, lasts them from April to December in most years. Add this to the 3kW solar system on the roof, which can be added to if required, these features will greatly reduce the utilities cost you might expect to have to pay for a home of this size.
Being a corner allotment, access to the off-street parking for up to 4 cars is very easy and secure. 2 cars can comfortably be parked in the secure, lock-up garage and the other 2 would also be secure behind the auto gates. If you wanted to add a swimming pool at any future stage, you will have very easy access for the construction equipment and you could simply replace the shed for a pool and then add a carport or shed to accommodate 2 or more cars.
Integrated within the shed is are 2 storage shed for your tools and accessories to keep the stunning and productive garden, producing and looking a picture.
This delightful family home provides you with very easy access to so many fabulous amenities in the area. You are a very short walk to the wonderful Mitcham Village Shopping Centre, there are 8 schools within about a 1km radius of the house and several public transport options nearby, all of this less than 10 minutes from the city centre!
Immaculate properties in tightly held areas such as this do not come to market all that often and when they do, they never last long on the market.
