Offers Closing 12pm Tuesday 24th June (Unless Sold Prior)

Proudly positioned on a generous 716sqm allotment with an impressive 16.46m frontage, this magnificent mid-century masterpiece has been thoughtfully reimagined for modern living. Behind its classic Basket Range stone facade, 79 Penang Avenue offers an exciting blend of contemporary design and family functionality in arguably one of the best streets in Melrose Park.

Step inside to discover a beautifully renovated interior where original charm meets architectural flair. Soaring 3.3m ceilings and polished pine floors bring warmth and character to the original double brick footprint. A flexible floorplan to suit the needs of your family allows for a 4th bedroom or second living space.

The master suite is a true retreat, offering built-in robes plus a walk-through wardrobe that leads to a fully tiled ensuite complete with a semi-frameless shower, wall-hung vanity, and skylight that fills the space with natural light. The main bathroom mirrors the ensuite's stylish aesthetic while introducing a luxe freestanding bathtub, bringing hotel-style comfort to everyday life. A well-equipped laundry with ample storage completes the home's wet areas.

At the rear, a show-stopping extension reveals a dramatic open-plan living zone, defined by polished concrete floors and striking raked ceilings that soar up to 4.3 metres. This is a space made for memorable moments, from lively family celebrations to laid-back afternoons. A suspended fireplace demands your attention, hanging like modern art, both a bold design statement and a cosy winter essential you never knew you needed.

The designer kitchen is a showpiece in itself, featuring 40mm Silestone benchtops, sleek 2pac cabinetry, statement pendant lighting, a premium Goldline gas cooktop, dual Bosch electric ovens, and a generous butler's pantry, ideal for those who love to entertain.

Step outside and discover a stunning backyard sanctuary designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A wide timber deck stretches beneath a soaring, fully covered alfresco with downlights and ceiling fans, creating the perfect setting for year-round gatherings. The seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living through expansive sliding doors makes this space an entertainer's dream. Beyond the deck, manicured lawns and lush, established gardens offer a private and peaceful escape, while a beautifully designed sauna nestled under its own pergola adds a luxurious wellness touch to your everyday routine. Whether you're unwinding in the open air or hosting friends on a summer evening, this backyard delivers lifestyle excellence in every detail.

A location offers unbeatable convenience, zoned to Unley High and walking distance to Edwardstown Primary, also within easy reach of elite private schooling options such as Scotch, Mercedes, and Concordia Colleges, along with Flinders University, Tonsley Innovation District and Medical Centre.
