2 Merlon Avenue, Black Forest, SA 5035

This very handsome, stone fronted home delivers on all counts. Offering extensive accommodation for the growing or extended family, it has abundant character, quality built additions to satisfy the most discerning of buyers and enjoys a brilliant location close to the Tram, services and schooling.
Built in 1936, in Tudor style, the home has commanding street presence and is sited on a corner allotment of some 724m. It has a sought after, north facing rear, and features up to six bedrooms, four living areas and three bathrooms.
From the inviting front verandah, entry is made to a wide foyer with timber fretwork and on to the two formal areas. The living room, at the front of the home, has a bay window with box seat, ornate ceiling and a fireplace. Double glass doors open through into the sensational formal dining room, which is generous enough to house even the largest of gatherings. It will easily accommodate a table for twelve, and, with its elaborate decorative domed ceiling and working open fireplace, the scene is set for many memorable evenings with family and friends.
The first of two master bedrooms suites has a walk through robe and a sparkling modern bathroom with full bath and shower. Adjacent is a bedroom which would lend itself well to use as a study, retreat or nursery. The generous, second master bedroom has an outlook through French doors to the rear garden and also has its own bathroom, as well as storage provision.
The kids (and guests) will love their own private domain upstairs, which includes three good sized bedrooms, each with built-in cupboards, a living area plus stylish bathroom.
The heart of this wonderful home, however, must be the contemporary rear extension with its casual dining, bar and family areas and fantastic open plan kitchen. Designed for the serious hobby chef, the kitchen boasts granite benchtops, an island bench, Kleenmaid 8 burner gas cooktop and triple electric oven with industrial exhaust fan, dishwasher and full corner pantry.
Three sets of French doors open out from the family room to an undercover, outdoor entertaining terrace and, beyond, the fenced inground swimming pool. A side garden has fruit trees and room for a vegetable patch and provides access to a roomy double garage (roller door entry from side street).
The home has many quality extras such as additional, wide, double length carporting, a family sized laundry with built-ins, ducted and zoned refrigerated cooling and ducted gas heating, multiple TV and computer points,4th WC, insulation and plenty of loft storage. Tastefully finished and appointed, generously proportioned and with a flexible floorplan, this is truly the complete Large Family Package!
