Fall in love, beautiful family home just 300m from beach

When people move here, they tend to stay and so homes don't come up for sale too often, especially larger houses on bigger blocks like this renovated and extended 1930's bungalow on 794m2, home to its current family for 25 years.

With Elizabeth O'Grady Kindergarten in the same street, Grange Primary 3 blocks away and St Michael's at Henley Beach only 3 minutes by car; your children's schooling is in the bag. You can hop on a train into town and the restaurants - there are about 40 to choose from along the coast - are just amazing. Sailing, swimming, sport; this beachside location has it all!

Spread out, relax and entertain with four double bedrooms, two modern bathrooms and two separate living areas including open-plan family spaces at the rear with gorgeous garden views. On one side, patio doors provide convenient access to the auto double garage and driveway parking and, on the other, to a secluded entertaining pergola.

Sitting here, listening to the parrots and lorikeets, sea breezes riffling the Willow Myrtles that make this backyard so private and provide welcome shade to a deep lawn where kids will love to play; nothing could be more peaceful or relaxing.

Inside, the home's large rooms stay blissfully cool in summer with little call for the new ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, mainly used as a winter warmer. Character fireplaces provide ambience in two of the bedrooms and the formal lounge, which has a gas fire and doubles as a quiet parents' retreat when your teens are entertaining out the back.

A glass of wine on the front veranda is a gorgeous way to enjoy spectacular sunsets, undoubtedly the inspiration behind the vibrant burnt orange leadlight featured in and around the front door and in the top sections of the triple casement windows of the original home. These same windows also draw in lots of lovely natural light, while a skylight brings in extra sunshine to the modern kitchen at the heart of the home, unlocked to the additions for open plan appeal.

This beautiful family home could be yours in time for Christmas and is complete with a security alarm, instant gas hot water, a large bank of cupboards in the hallway, garden watering system and potential rear lane access.
