47 East Parade, Kingswood, SA 5062

Coming from the country, it was the large block size and leafy surrounds that first attracted the vendors to this glorious old home with a sparkling in-ground pool on 984m2.
Mitcham Primary is directly across the street and the property is also zoned for Unley High.

"We love the big old gum trees, the old homes and the big yards where you've got space all around the house.
This typifies what old houses are all about, the high ceilings and solidity of it; and it's cool in summer."

"We like going to the movies around the corner.
It's a five minute walk to Mitcham (Village), if that.
The shopping centre is excellent and it's good for working in the city."

The 1920 home was purchased from a work colleague who extended at the rear, adding a study nook, third king-sized bedroom and a large covered entertaining deck overlooking the pool.
Three years ago, the vendors added a huge iron shed with a slow combustion stove and store.

"Summer time is spent out the back.
You'd be surprised how many friends you've got when it's hot and you've got a pool!
You can make a teenager den out there (in the shed)".

Inside the home, polished timber floors and wood burning fireplaces offer a warm welcome to family and friends.
There are three living areas to choose from: a gorgeous formal lounge with a square bay at the front, and, at the rear, two adjoining rooms that are interchangeable for family living and dining.
In the larger of the two overlooking the backyard, an 'antique cream' kitchen features Bosch stainless steel cooking appliances and a portable island bench with a breakfast bar.

"We're very family oriented.
We've had family dinners here and that (the adjoining room) as a private dining room, but the beauty of it is you can set it up any way you choose."

The bay window master bedroom already boasts a walk-in robe while the adjoining sunroom has been earmarked for an ensuite, although it's not many steps to the stylishly updated family bathroom, fully tiled in porcelain and featuring a Caesar stone-topped vanity.

Complete with a tandem carport and brush fence privacy at the front, this glorious old bungalow invites a new family to enjoy its wonderful character, space and recreation.
Make sure it's yours as opportunities like this don't come along every day!
