26 Beadnall Terrace, Glengowrie, SA 5044

A fresh lick of paint and a bit of tweaking is all that is needed to bring this wonderfully solid bungalow on 700m2 - it already boasts a loft extension and new wiring - into the now and max out its lust-have. north-facing aspect.

The location is fantastic and very family friendly with many of the local kids attending nearby Immanuel College and Our Lady of Grace, both walking distance. A twenty minute-stroll will find you sipping a latte on Jetty Road and you can hop on a tram to your city workplace and the beach.

If you're into large rooms with lots of character and your wish list includes a parents' or kids' retreat, this is definitely the home for you. The large upstairs living area. king-size bedroom, walk-in robe and modern ensuite offer a divine parental escape or dormitory-style accommodation for kids with a playroom. You choose! And downstairs, there are up to three double bedrooms or two plus study and a recently upgraded bathroom. So, plenty of space for all!

Here, character flourishes such as polished timber floors, ornate ceilings, and a host of working corner fireplaces conjure the spirit of yesteryear, with impressive formal rooms, unlocked for party appeal, opening to a sun room via dazzling leadlight doors. (A judicious pruning of garden greenery, a lighter paint scheme and perhaps even the removal of the sunroom would give these spaces a brighter, fresher feel with wider enjoyment of the gardens and deep front veranda.)

A solid timber kitchen featuring Neff cooking appliances and a Miele dishwasher - hang onto these! - is fine for now but is something you'll probably want to do further down the track. It opens to an enclosed veranda at the rear leading to the study/bedroom 4, the laundry and a toilet.

Stepping outside, a picturesque deck shaded by open and closed pergola structures is the perfect spot for a barbecue on a balmy summer's night.

Other perks of living here are sharing your surrounds with a host of birdlife, the chance to grow your own and pick fruit fresh from the tree, and plentiful secure parking for a number of vehicles.

A fantastic family opportunity for those handy with a paintbrush!
