Remarkable Poolside Oasis Meets Charming 1920's Character Lodge
In Adelaide's affluent city fringe suburb of Collinswood, this stone-faced bungalow offers a unique and meticulously maintained mid-century time capsule, with a versatile floor plan, that will afford buyers the best of both original character interiors and luscious gardens that includes a sparkling in ground swimming pool!
This rare 1920's-built home reveals cosy classic textures like slate, timber, blue stone and brick throughout while upward of 6 potential bedrooms of grand proportions feature ornate original accents including ceiling roses, fireplaces, beamed ceilings and stained glass feature windows.
Through the entry, a wide central hall greets you with polished timber floorboards leading to a timber staircase rising around a double-height void. High ceilings reach 3.3m across the front rooms, where chandeliers and rich timber detailing preserve the home's unmistakable personality. Separate lounge and dining rooms continue the mood with grid-patterned ceilings, exposed masonry fireplaces and glazed double doors between them. Formal, yes, but designed to be enjoyed with the option to be utilised as bedrooms if desired.
There is another bedroom / retreat upstairs and a ground-floor studio / beauty room that has its own sink and double-door garden access for those who work from home.
The family room forms the home's main gathering space with a raked ceiling stretching upwards of 4m, plus exposed brick feature wall and cladded feature wall. A combustion fireplace anchors the room, alongside a gas heater and split-system air conditioner, while rich timber French doors open the outlook towards the pool and garden. It is generous enough for everyday living, with the scale to host and entertaining throughout the seasons.
Beside the family room, the kitchen continues the home's character with an arched brick rangehood above the 900mm* gas cooktop. A separate oven and dishwasher sit nearby, with timber cabinetry framing 90 degrees of the space both above and below the benchtops, while a tiled splashback and pendant light complete the room.
The home's main bathroom has been delightfully renovated tastefully tiled to the ceiling with a freestanding bath, dual vanity and shower, while the second bathroom carries the homes traditional style with leadlight feature window, original timber vanity, Rust coloured tiles and a shower.
Outside, a luscious lawn wraps the central gated in-ground swimming pool shaded by a suite of established palm trees, while a pergola shelters a separate alfresco dining area with BBQ and kitchen amenities. Within the pool fencing, an undercover entertaining area offers residents and visitors another space to enjoy the great outdoors, with a paved sitting area and abundant plantings that add colour and life to this grand outdoor oasis!
