4 Thorpe Street, Torrens Park, SA 5062

Cosy love nest or family home of your dreams? Only you can decide the future of this stylishly renovated character cutie on 712m2, dating from 1875.

As a two-bedder it offers a seriously cool, near-city escape for loved-up couples, with exciting potential to add on and make it your forever family home.

The good news is you don't have to wait. Plans for architectural additions by local designer John Byleveld have already been approved. These would give you a new kitchen with a walk-in pantry, master bedroom with a walk-in robe and ensuite, extra bathroom and powder room, and open-plan family spaces opening to a pool and pool house, plus an auto double garage.

Of course this is just one exciting option. The other is to do nothing and simply move in and enjoy all the stylish renovations to date.

What better way to welcome family and friends than with a real log fire. Give winter the flick with one in each of the living areas, where the warm tones of timber only add to the ambience. Timber is again a feature of the kitchen, small but perfectly formed with glorious garden outlooks and a window servery for summer entertaining.

A stand of ornamental pears and exterior blinds along the northern side let the sun in during the winter months while providing valuable shade to the bedrooms at the height of summer. Both are doubles; luxuriously carpeted for comfort and offering premium built-in storage. A sleek contemporary full bathroom and laundry are adjacent the kitchen at the rear.

You'll love all the natural light cascading through this home's many windows and doors, keeping everything mega bright and airy while encouraging a life outdoors dining on the sunken terrace, pottering in the beautiful established gardens and exploring the many walking trails in nearby Randell Reserve and Brownhill Creek Recreation Park.

For those with kids, the area is excellently serviced for public transport and schools including Mitcham Primary, Mercedes and Scotch all within a five-minute radius. Five minutes will also see you enjoying shops, cafes and cinemas at Mitcham Village.

If you see only one property next weekend, make sure it's this!
