52A East Pkwy, Colonel Light Gardens SA 5041, Australia

A rare opportunity to reside in one of Adelaide’s most tightly held suburbs, this off market opportunity is your once-in-a-lifetime chance to purchase your forever home within an incredibly competitive market. Sitting comfortably amidst the glorious trees of one of Colonel Light Gardens premier streets, you will find this beautiful character bungalow, offering a fantastic lifestyle for a growing family and all the room you could desire.

This lovingly renovated and extended home combines modern themes whilst retaining its old-world charm throughout. Polished timber floorboards, new carpets, fresh paint and premium window furnishings beautifully complement the heritage features of the home. As you enter through the beautiful stained glass front door to a wide central hallway, you’ll be impressed by soaring decorative ceilings and traditional picture rails. Coming off the hallway are four king-sized bedrooms, all with BIR’s and traditional charm as well as the updated family bathroom with underfloor heating, shower, separate bath and generous vanity.

Back in the hallway and you’ll pass through double-glazed French doors to the modern, light-filled kitchen/meals area with plumbed-in Smeg fridge, European appliances and loads of storage space, every MasterChef’s dream! The large laundry also houses the second bathroom with shower and adjacent sits the study with built in standing desk, shelving, and skylight so you can effortlessly live and work from home with ease. At the back of the home is the absolutely massive open plan living and dining room with gas fireplace where you’ll host family Christmas parties, have movie marathons with the kids or quietly sit with a cup of tea watching the birds in the garden.

The greatest surprise of the property is the external studio with new carpet, bedroom, en-suite, kitchenette, hard-wired internet and separate workshop and storage room. Whether you need a rumpus room, teenage retreat, space for the interstate relatives to stay or you want a live-in uni student to help pay the mortgage – the options are endless.

You’ll enjoy summer nights under the back pergola overlooking the lush and green yard, resplendent with fruit trees, veggie beds and roses, all watered with rainwater from the eight tanks on the property. The undercover carport fits two cars with ease, plus driveway space for another three cars.

With less than 8km’s to the CBD, a short drive to some of South Australia’s finest beaches, and one of Adelaide’s loveliest ‘walking’ suburbs, you will also love the convenience of living near easy access to public transport, Mitcham Shopping Centre, local coffee shops, universities, and some of the State’s best public and private schools.
