Mid-Century Magic in a Blue-Ribbon Foothills Location.
Rarely does the opportunity arise to secure a land holding as substantial as this in Torrens Park, and with such excellent proximity to top private colleges, fashionable shopping and dining precincts, and glorious nature reserves; but the time has come for this enchanting 3-bedroom mid-century family residence, along with its sparkling blue pool, to make new memories with its next custodians.
Built in 1960 and nestled among established gardens on a prime corner block of 1,030sqm (approx.), it's evident at every turn that this home has been treasured over its lifetime; each room wraps you in a tangible warm embrace, and character design elements remain prominent; highlighted by high ceilings, light-infusing picture windows, and the exquisite Jarrah floorboards.
A split-level layout adds architectural interest, the higher sleeping wing newly carpeted with a good-size main bathroom (shower & tub) and separate WC. All the bedrooms are blessed with abundant natural light, the larger master with a pleasing front garden outlook; and there's a handy second bathroom/laundry off the entrance foyer.
Accessed through etched glass double-doors, the Jarrah-floored lounge/dining hub is a beautiful space, cosy through winter thanks to an impressively framed combustion heater and easily ventilated by opening French Doors to the alfresco entertaining patio. The kitchen is well-appointed, overlooking a family room where a 4th bedroom could be created, opening onto the existing balcony where the pool views are washed in a golden sunset glow.
Whether you love this beauty as is or explore layout changes, even building up to capture sweeping views to the sea (STCC), this Foothills' location is an absolute dream that will continue to gain value. Not only is it a short walk up or down Braemar Road to Scotch College or Randell Park Reserve, but it's only a 5-minute drive to Mitcham Square and a breezy 15-minutes to town.
