23 Richman Avenue, Prospect, SA 5082

The heady scent of a lavender bush that greets you at the front gate is an inviting entrée to this charming and spacious family home in an enviable corner location in one of Adelaide’s oldest near-city suburbs in the Adelaide High School zone.

That sense that you’ve discovered something special flows on to the full-width front verandah featuring 1930s period fretwork, with a view over a border of standard roses to a backdrop of gracefully mature street trees.

From the outside, the appealing character of the solid-brick house is reflected in detail typical of the era, such as leadlight windows with highlighted white lintels.

Inside, blended sympathetically with modern amenities and additions, the originality continues with panelled doors, an ornate moulded-plaster ceiling and, in the lounge room and one of the three bedrooms, old-fashioned fireplaces.

Unlike the original owners, however, you don’t need constantly burning wood fires to keep snug in winter – ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning takes care of the heating and cooling.

Enhanced by the honeyed glow of polished floorboards, the L-shaped hallway leads past the front two bedrooms, both with built-in robes, and the main bathroom – complete with full-sized tub for a luxurious soak – and then to the third bedroom and its generously sized ensuite.

The formal dining room opens into the spacious lounge, which in turn opens into the bright, crisp, white modern kitchen with five-burner gas cooker, Fisher & Paykel drawer dishwasher and more than ample cupboard space.

Accessed from the rear patio, the laundry has plenty of room for the biggest washday, and the patio itself is a large, paved undercover area ideally suited to outdoor entertaining.

At the rear of the property, a 12 by 5.2 metre garage with roller door can easily accommodate two cars, with more than enough space left over for a workbench and handyman haven, plus storage. Behind the garage are a pair of rainwater tanks and a shed for storing tools for the low-maintenance garden.

If you need extra parking space for cars or, perhaps, a boat or a trailer-load of mulch, there’s a huge, brick-paved area with access from the side street through double gates.
