Where Family Living Meets Lifestyle!
Christine Holowiecki of Keeping It Realty is proud to present this charming 1922 bungalow tucked beautifully along sought-after Da Costa Avenue. This is a home where timeless character and thoughtful modern living come together with effortless ease. Lovingly updated and exceptionally well equipped, it is ready and waiting for its next owners to simply move in, unpack and enjoy. From the moment you arrive, there is a wonderful sense of welcome, with electric gates opening to off-street parking in the driveway, plus a single-width carport with automatic roller door offering space for a further two cars and convenient access through to the rear garden and shed.
The beautiful front porch sets the tone for what lies within - a peaceful spot for morning coffee while watching the local wildlife make use of the bird bath. Step through the front door and the central hallway immediately showcases the character of the home, with polished floorboards, ornate ceilings and plantation shutters adding warmth and elegance throughout. Two inviting bedrooms sit at the front of the home, both enjoying built-in robes, ceiling fans and an ornate fireplace on the right, while the fourth bedroom also offers built-in storage and a ceiling fan. Privately positioned, the master suite is a wonderful retreat with a gas fireplace, walk-in robe and ensuite, complete with shower, vanity, toilet and a Velux skylight that fills the space with natural light.
A thoughtful extension has transformed the rear of the home into an exceptional space for modern family living and entertaining. At its heart is the expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, where a beautiful gas fireplace creates a cosy atmosphere in winter. The kitchen is both practical and generous, featuring a breakfast bench, servery window to the alfresco, double sink, large corner walk-in pantry, dishwasher, 900mm stove and oven, abundant storage and two remote-controlled Velux skylights that invite sunshine into the space. The adjoining laundry is cleverly designed to maximise every inch, with generous built-in cabinetry surrounding the washing machine alcove to provide plenty of practical storage. The main bathroom feels wonderfully luxurious with dual vanities, a freestanding bath, shower, toilet and remote-controlled Velux skylights.
The connection between indoors and out is particularly special. Opening from the rear living area is a substantial undercover alfresco space with café blinds, creating an additional living and entertaining zone that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. Whether hosting a summer barbecue, sharing a long lunch outdoors or settling in for a cosy evening, this versatile space makes entertaining easy. Built-in cabinetry and speakers enhance the indoor living zone, while ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling throughout ensure year-round comfort.
Outside, the low-maintenance backyard is wonderfully easy-care, with established garden areas and a tidy garden shed providing useful storage without demanding your weekends. It is a home that has clearly been designed for living well - retaining the charm and craftsmanship of its 1922 origins while delivering the comfort, space and functionality today's buyers desire. There is genuinely little left to do but turn the key, make yourself at home and enjoy everything this wonderful property has to offer.
And then there is the location. From Da Costa Avenue, you're wonderfully placed to enjoy the best of the surrounding suburbs, with North Adelaide and its village atmosphere close by, restaurants and cafés along Prospect Road and O'Connell Street, the Adelaide Aquatic Centre, and the CBD approximately 5.1km away. Walkerville Terrace is nearby for your morning coffee at the popular Coffee Institute, while The Parade at Norwood is within easy reach when shopping, dining and weekend wandering beckon. Families are also spoilt for choice with the property zoned for North Adelaide Primary and Adelaide Botanic High School. Excellent additional schooling options nearby include St Andrews School, Wilderness School, Blackfriars Priory School, and Prescott College. This is more than a beautifully presented character home - it is a place to settle in, slow down and enjoy life.
