This versatile 1927 bungalow on 2347m2 started out life as the club rooms for neighbouring Mt Osmond Golf Course, a home from home for Sir Donald Bradman and other sporting greats.

Sitting out on the deck, gully breezes riffling the 150-year old red gums, the city and gulf spreading out before you, it's hard to believe you're less than fifteen minutes from the city and great schools including Glenunga International High and Glen Osmond Primary for which it is zoned.

Ranging over two levels, 'The Chalet' has the feel of a big country house with four carpeted double bedrooms - these were the original change rooms - and a full family bathroom on the lower level providing wonderful separateness for teens and older children.

Upstairs houses the main living spaces - lounge/dining, sunroom, family/kitchen, study - and another two double bedrooms including the master boasting mirror-fronted built-in robes and a modern white ensuite that doubles as a powder room by day or when entertaining.

Over the past five years, this spacious upper level with its polished jarrah floors has been extensively refurbished with new ceilings, down lights, ducted evaporative air conditioning and under-floor gas heating, also ducted to the lower level. A stunning Harvey Norman kitchen featuring Caesar stone counters, gorgeous 900mm Smeg cooking appliances including a gas cook top and integrated dishwashing drawers is ideally set up to feed many hungry mouths, with everything that slides and glides including a drinks station with negotiable wine fridge.

Spread out, relax and entertain in the adjoining lounge/dining room with surround sound to set the mood and a magnificent stone fireplace where Sir Donald and his golfing buddies would have relaxed in front of a roaring log fire. Stack-up doors allow an easy flow through the sunroom - variously used as a playroom, music room and dance studio - and out onto the covered deck, where the twinkle of city lights adds magic to nighttime entertaining.

The grounds surrounding the home are a haven for wildlife and a wonderland for children and adults to explore, with a soothing Japanese water garden and stone-retained terraces spilling down the hillside creating level grassy areas for play and for the chook house, also recently refurbished. Huge rainwater tanks feed automated garden dripper and fire sprinkler systems and there is level parking for three cars in the in-and-out driveway above the house plus a large workshop.

Complete with an alarm system, new window locks and pull-down ladder access to a large, lofty roof space with more wonderful potential; this is an amazing home for larger families, especially those who love a round of golf. Prepare to fall under its spell!
