11 Cross Road, Kingswood, SA 5062

Write your own family history as the new owners of this grand old home on a massive 1300 sqm (approx) north/south allotment with plenty of room for additions, a tennis court and pool.

Built circa 1910 and home to the same family for three generations, the double veranda, solid sandstone villa is well set back from the road with ample turning space and parking for up to six vehicles.

Freshly decorated in stylish modern neutrals, it retains a wealth of Art Nouveau features including magnificent pressed metal ceilings, jewelled leadlight, period fireplaces and polished timber floors.

Stepping from the elevated veranda into the wide entry hall, you are immediately aware that this is a home of distinction: Three ornate archways lead you on a delightful journey of discovery to six handsomely proportioned principal rooms infused with the prosperity of a bygone era.

Particularly impressive are the magnificent formal rooms where beautiful leadlight features in elegant paired windows and the eye is drawn upwards to the lofty decorative ceilings.

Imagine grand dinner parties and large family gatherings in the ultra spacious dining room that benefits from a built-in buffet, handy servery and direct entry to the adjoining kitchen.

Here you'll find a practical range of painted fifties cabinets, modern stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher and convenient access to a really good-sized wine cellar below.

There are three enormous bedrooms with generous downlights and ceiling fans for you and your family to enjoy right away.

Bedroom 2 opens to the enclosed side veranda that has a jarrah floor and further benefits from independent outside access, offering potential as a home office or teen retreat.

A fourth bedroom plus a serviceable bathroom and laundry are also provided in the attached lean-to at the rear.

For now, move in and live comfortably whilst you plan your dream additions and backyard makeover. Look to your neighbours for inspiration.

With excellent schools, fantastic shopping and the city all so close at hand, this outstanding property may well be the find of a lifetime and is a rare opportunity not to be missed.
