28 Yulinda Terrace, Lower Mitcham, SA 5062

This symmetrical bungalow on 708m2 has recently been renovated and extended to provide up to four double bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a 'cavernous' family room opening to leafy backyard privacy.

Find it nestled in a quiet tree-lined street, minutes to the city, shops and cinemas at Mitcham Village, and top schools including Scotch College.

The garden here is a real attraction. By day, established exotics provide just the right amount of dappled shade; at night, landscape lighting inspires a scene of pure magic, guaranteed to charm dinner guests on the rear veranda or in the main open-plan living spaces, with cafe doors providing a seamless flow between the two.

Polished Cyprus Pine is the perfect choice of flooring here, with handy access to tandem parking in the auto carport and a new sleeping wing featuring a carpeted garden-view bedroom, laundry and second bathroom. A wide opening integrates the kitchen - a simple white workspace with plenty of storage, modern appliances, a breakfast bar and ceramic-tiled floor - for open-plan sociability.

With french doors opening from the hallway, the formal lounge offers a second large and very useful family living space in the original home where you are invited to fall in love with polished Baltic Pine floors, prettily ornamented ceilings, a compliment of character fireplaces and fretwork hall divide.

Here, two bedrooms with mirror-fronted built-ins include the spacious master with manicured frontal aspect and a study/bedroom 4, with a skylight to bring in extra sunshine. A large, original linen cupboard provides extra storage in a side hall leading to a gorgeous character-themed bathroom featuring cast-iron bathtub relaxation.

Freshly decorated to please and complete with ducted and split system reverse cycle air conditioning, a security alarm, rainwater tank, large iron shed with light and power and additional garden shed; this lovely old bungalow home with quality additions by Rocca's Building Company and beautiful easy-care gardens is a family dream.
