Auction Saturday 1st September 2012 unless sold prior.

A timeless style is never out of date, especially when it's been lovingly maintained from an era that was a byword for class and refinement. The elegant retro look of this architecturally designed 1960s family home offers a sturdy character-filled canvas, from which your dreams for the future can evolve.

Evoking the decade of Mad Men and the Kennedys, the home is brimming with strikingly authentic features. Polished parquetry, built-in joinery and high ceilings add enormous charm.

A unique atrium-style patio is a true example of the very best of Sixties design. This central slate-paved courtyard has the entire family residence wrapped around it, showcasing the home's architectural elements. With vines overhead and multiple access points, it's a wonderful sun-trap and the ideal place to start your Saturdays with coffee.

The accommodation zone comprises four bedrooms (master with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite), a large family bathroom, a huge laundry with stacks of storage, and a home office. A fabulous entertainers kitchen with casual dining integrates beautifully with three good-sized living areas, comprising an impeccable mix of formal and informal zones.

A double garage, air-conditioning, ceiling fans and built-in wardrobes add to the overall comfort and convenience. With light flooding into all areas from the atrium patio, the home also offers excellent internal proportions and a sought-after corner position on 817 sqm in highly-prized Malvern.

An abundance of lifestyle destinations are near this peaceful tree-lined street, including the shopping and dining precincts of Unley and King William Roads, the popular Duthy Street and Unley Oval. The CBD and Parklands are mere minutes away. So too highly rated schools, including Walford Girls and Concordia Colleges.

While totally liveable as is, the home provides purchasers with enormous latitude; whether to personalise and style to your individual taste with minimal fuss, launch into a full renovation, or even start again and fully capitalise on this absolutely premium position.
