40 Marlborough Road, Westbourne Park, SA 5041

This large and gracious character home will suit growing families- especially extended ones wanting an independent living option, whilst still retaining its beautiful appeal. (This is just the sort of property I'll be looking for if my mother ever decides to come and live with us and our teenage daughter).

On 1062m2, with dual access, this home offers two separate independent spaces by locking a door, or can easily become one large family home featuring handsomely proportioned rooms with exquisitely ornate high ceilings and generous windows that flood the interior with natural light.

Stylish contemporary décor including luxurious honeycomb carpets complement a wealth of further character features including polished timber floors and the attractive period fireplaces that create such a warm and inviting ambience.

As apartments the larger one offers two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, study, or 3rd bedroom plus an eat-in kitchen, laundry and three spacious living areas, make it eminently suitable for a family with two children. Moreover it boasts a gorgeous sunny master bedroom featuring a fantastic walk-in robe with solid timber built-ins and a private ensuite shower room. It also lays claim to the original character-infused hallway and formal lounge, which becomes one huge living and entertaining space when the double doors are thrown open.

The second apartment offers a double bedroom but is not compromised in style or character in any way, making a statement with its entry off the return section of the original veranda. What was probably once the dining room with a spectacular ceiling and grandiose fireplace is now a stunning king-sized bedroom. Complete with a pretty sitting room, sun room and rather fun vintage kitchen with a gorgeous built-in buffet, a bathroom and secluded side patio under a shade house.

The generous communal backyard boasts quality perimeter fencing with a large lawned area for children to play and a great little garden studio that everyone will want to claim as their own. Adjoining is a four-car garage.

For families wanting to utilise all the space as one, a second floorplan illustrates the easy conversion.

This allotment has further potential for two new semi-detached homes (subject to council consents).
