25 Emily Avenue, Clapham, SA 5062

This impressively renovated bungalow in possibly the most charming avenue in Clapham is as commanding as it is alluring. Set on the high side of the road and situated above street level, it exudes confidence and class in a brilliant Inner South location, on the cusp of the foothills and nestled alongside Lower Mitcham...

Immediately imposing, the quality of the home is obvious with a wide, central hallway featuring rose coloured leadlight and original ceiling roses greeting guests with a unique and desirable floorplan rarely found in bungalows. Flanked by large front rooms, period correct features are in abundance, with the main bedroom as a highlight. Brilliantly spacious and with yet another charming fireplace, an ensuite was added in late 2010 and is built to high standard of quality and style. A feature mosaic tiled wall is the standout, behind a large shower alcove, sleek and minimalist vanity unit and eye catching designer basin.

An impressive total of four open fireplaces feature in the formal lounge and all three bedrooms, including a brilliantly improvised and converted display feature in bedroom three.

A functional and modern main bathroom includes a standalone, claw footed bath, large shower, and features quality brass fittings and lead lighting.

The quality rear extension is integrated seamlessly and is abound with features and space. The open plan kitchen includes a vast amount of storage space, dishwasher, stainless steel oven, gas cooktop and plenty of bench space for even a large catering requirement.

The open plan dining and living area are balanced perfectly and provide an immensely comfortable informal living space. An impressive and efficient under floor heating system keeps you warm in winter, while the ducted evaporative cooling system is aided by a reverse cycle split system in the large rear extension for use in the warmer months. Large timber windows bathe the back room in natural light and are in keeping with the café doors, opening to a private and alluring outdoor setting.

Native flora and fauna have been nurtured in the quaint and private rear yard. Frogs, locally sourced fish and local bird life are in abundance in the carefully designed solar powered pond and stream that you can call all your own. Such thought has been put into this "private eco-system" that the breed of fish have been specifically sourced to eliminate mosquitos! The yard also includes apple, pear, plum and peach trees.

Not to be missed is the well designed laundry that is nothing short of huge, and could easily accommodate a study, small workshop or any type of indoor utility area you desire, plus the large closet/storage space accessible from the main hallway.
