12 Chester Street, Largs Bay, SA 5016

Safe, sandy beaches and the open seascapes of Largs Bay are yours to enjoy just steps away from this gorgeous four-bedroom bungalow, sited on a magnificent 821m2 block with a wide street frontage.

Standing on the deep front verandah, the attention is drawn to the abundance of jewelled leadlight in and around the two entrance doors and in the top sections of the triple sash windows to either side of the main entry. The door opens to reveal a lovely wide hallway with a beautiful fretwork divide that draws you in to explore the well-proportioned, light-filled rooms that make living in this 1920's home such a joy.

To the left, the formal rooms have been knocked through to create integrated living spaces which, like the hallway and a king-sized bedroom opposite, are carpeted for that added touch of comfort.

Beyond, a quiet library space with French doors to outside doubles as a sunny breeze through to the master bedroom. Interconnecting sleeping and sitting areas with polished timber floors, a walk-through robe and a stunning heritage-tiled ensuite with a contemporary twist; make this the perfect retreat for parents, guests or extended family.

More treats await at the end of the hallway, where you step down into a gorgeous porcelain-tiled, open-plan living area, made light and bright with an abundance of velux windows and downlights. Open up caf doors to a huge all-weather terrace to create a seamless indoor-outdoor living space, which is ideal for entertaining in this beachside environment.

A clever innovation is the alfresco breakfast bar that also encourages family and friends outside, leaving you free to create in the craftsman-made entertaining kitchen with its sexy high-gloss Shiraz cabinets, Essa Stone counters and heavy-duty stainless steel appliances including an impressive dual-fuel range, combination oven, dishwasher and plumbed fridge/freezer.

Adjacent is plenty of room for casual seating with space beyond for a study or dining area, where patio doors lead out to a sheltered side courtyard.

The backyard is a bit of blank canvas but there is a magnificent White Cedar shading a large lawn and a couple of outbuildings that could provide additional recreational or business opportunities. On the western side, a carpeted studio with a slow combustion stove would be perfect as a games room or home office while, opposite, a double iron shed offers premium workspace and storage for a tradesperson.

Complete with a fantastic laundry, stunning family bathroom with a luxurious spa bath, solar hot water, ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, rainwater storage, bore water and a secure tandem carport, this exciting and versatile home is also walking distance to Largs Bay Primary and convenient train travel into the city. With so much to offer, it will be popular. Inspect early to avoid disappointment!
