Circa 1925, Pentire is one of the areas beautiful old homes. Character and convenience are a rare combination to find, and this fine old home offers a lifestyle that will appeal to a variety of buyers; from the growing family to couples looking for a flexible and easy going home without feeling closed in. It doesnt get any easier than this. You can walk to everything!

This classic sandstone Gentlemans Bungalow lives on a surprising 1,313sqm allotment with your own space and handy dual access. In the heart of Village shopping, land like this is especially rare to find. And while you can enjoy the outdoors, it is not high maintenance.

There is a sparkling solar heated in-ground pool with low maintenance surrounds and no over-hanging trees to keep you busy. It really is a nice feature and complements this home perfectly; for fun times, exercising, or as a water feature. There are paved entertaining areas that flow out from the veranda and complement the pool setting. What a tonic!

Filled with all the character features youd expect to see, this is a home that has been lovingly cared for. And the modern floorplan is a beauty; altogether there are 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 3 separate living areas.

The four mains rooms of the symmetrical bungalow all have fireplaces and include 2 huge bedrooms with built-in robes, a spacious lounge or living room, and a formal dining room that shows off some of the classic and original features of the era.

Bedrooms 3 and 4 are tucked away in their own wing which has its own external access; very handy for the teenager or for home office or studio purposes. Both have built-in robes and one also has a fireplace. They share their own bathroom, while the laundry opposite is more a utility room.

Looking out to the pool is the new kitchen with a fantastic island bench. There is room to move in this kitchen which features loads of storage and bench-space. There is a great size electric fan-forced oven with gas-cooking range, a dishwasher to match, and excellent fridge space.

Take a moment to study the floor plan and you will appreciate the way the kitchen is connected to a nice size family living room; warmed by a wood-fired combustion heater. A wall of colonial windows adds to the ambience, and there is even room here for a computer nook. The tiled flooring, which also flows from the kitchen, is a nice change to the beautiful polished timber flooring you will find through the rest of the home.

Oh, and behind the kitchen you will find a large walk-in pantry; a standard inclusion in these fine old homes and a feature in todays modern home. What a bonus!

It is easy to fall in love with this home on the inside, but wait till you see the outdoors. Verandas wrap around the home on 3 sides, and the front porch is a secluded spot to relax and admire the surprise aspect! It really is amazing to think that you are living in the true heart of Blackwood. The historic Blackwood train station is a short wander from the back gate, or catch the bus that will take you in any direction.

Your private allotment is well established with mature gardens and hardy green lawns. There is a tradesmans work-shed with its own road access, a home for the chooks, and a double carport for everyday use.

The allotment is Community Title. In every way it functions like a Torrens Title, but the title change allowed for two courtyard homes to be built on the larger original allotment, a sensible development so close to Blackwood Village. They share a paved driveway and in every other way you enjoy your own land. It is private and convenient.

Imagine the price tag if this home was on the doorstep of any other major shopping village around Adelaide. A very special home indeed, how fortunate you will be to own Pentire circa 1925. Secure it and make it all yours!
