118 Beulah Road, Norwood, SA 5067

118 Beulah Road is a unique 1880's townhouse. The front of the property is a three room bungalow comprising two large double bedrooms, one with en suite and a large sitting room. It is effectively a self-contained living quarters, possibly for school teachers in years past.

The rear of the property is based on the old schoolroom, a 10m x 6m structure with 5m ceilings, an office at mezzanine level and an architecturally designed Enzie spiral staircase extending over three levels and down to a further double bedroom, sitting room and substantial cellar. These three lower rooms are 2/3 underground yet all with windows; affording excellent environmental conditions for cool in summer and warmth in winter. A door from downstairs and from the main classroom, leads to an extensive courtyard, also 10m x 6m.

The old classroom is now a state of the art Tasmanian Oak kitchen, with quality appliances and a large sitting room.
This current development of the house was designed for easy living and entertaining, with the courtyard equipped with gas heaters, fans and cafe blinds, the main school room having gas heating and evaporative cooling and the front bungalow with reverse cycle ducted air conditioning.

The property has a range of security features including automatic sliding vehicle gate, lockable front gate, high grade security mesh doors, dead locks, window locks, comprehensive monitored alarm system over three levels, installed safe and additional security measures on other access doors and windows.

This is a unique offering of character and history, transformed into 21st Century living. Where else in a family home with extensive history and character could you host a sit down dinner party for over 40 guests in the one room; host a similar number in the courtyard, have 3 double bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, within close walking distance of The Parade and a stone throw away from the CBD.
