117 Cross Rd, Hawthorn is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1915. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in January 2022.
Set back to hush the passing world, 'Strathallan' C1915 reveals a life-altering secret; a second title at the sprawling feet of a landmark Federation villa, creating some 2,198sqm of combined possibility where Cross Road and Denning Street form a prized corner on the cusp of Unley Park.
'Strathallan' can remain what it has long been; a landmark home with an arresting character facade, two-levels, eight main rooms, soaring ceilings, old-world detailing, cellar, periodic updates and storybook grounds with the rare freedom that only two Hawthorns parcels can conjure.
It could also split its story in two, giving the next custodian the rare chance to retain the original residence while using the sheer scale beside it to shape a bold architectural home, either as a separate title, a second family base, or a future saleable asset.
Inside, its polished timber floors, leadlight windows, ornate fireplaces and dark timber trim define a timeless home with multiple living zones, up to four bedrooms, ensuited main bedroom, bundles of storage and consistent garden outlooks.
A large kitchen sits at the rear with direct garden connection, white cabinetry, subway tiling, oversized freestanding oven, dishwasher and a social, eat-in-style layout that's hard to find in the modern dwelling.
Above, the first-floor rumpus is a beautiful surprise, tucked into the roofline with exposed timber beams, garden outlooks and balcony access, giving the home a relaxed retreat for teenagers, guests, creative work or quiet escape.
Below, the cellar adds another layer of old-home romance and practical storage, while the surrounding verandahs, shed, garage, carport and broad gravel drives bring the property back to its original strength: scale, land and choice.
And choice is exactly what Hawthorn gives you; a position that can feel garden-suburban one minute and deeply connected the next, with Unley Park over the road, Hyde Park and King William Road close by, Mitcham Square around the corner, the city within easy reach, and a strong line-up of schools, parks, cafes, shops and transport making the location as flexible as the land itself. A secret worth keeping.
