Bungalow in style Circa 1935 constructed in solid red brick.
A Torrens Titled home situated approximately 200 metres from one of Adelaide's premier beaches.
Grange has long been one of Adelaide's most popular beach-side suburbs filled with a blend of character homes and some of the most modern architectural homes recently built along the Esplanade.
Positioned close to the beach in Grange, between Henley Beach square and Tennyson, the home is within close walking distance to the Grange jetty, the Grange hotel, restaurants and cafes. Adelaide CBD is easily accessible, only 22 minutes via the Grange train station. Grange beach, just around the corner, is known as one of the best beaches within metropolitan Adelaide.
The home has impressive street appeal with a free stone façade, sandstone brick work across the sweeping front verandah that also features decorative columns. The front verandah offers excellent weather protection from the elements to the front of the entire home which faces Easterly.
The floor plan of the home is traditional for a maisonette of this era with a nice long hallway to one side of the home having all main rooms leading off. The home contains exposed polished timber floor boards and lofty ceilings throughout. There are two bedrooms, including a spacious master bedroom with built in robe.
The large lounge / dining room accommodates a six piece dining room setting comfortably and the room's overall size is comparable to that of any home of the 1930s. The lounge includes character features such as original picture rails and a timber fire mantel place, which contains a gas heater for convenience over the winter months. The big triple timber window allows lots of natural sunlight to filter throughout the room, keeping it bright and airy.
The kitchen has been upgraded, all finished in solid timber including over cupboards and a large pantry cupboard, fully tiled splash back and a double stainless steel bowl with flip mixer tap. Jarrah timber floors set this entire area off nicely.
The bathroom has been totally upgraded in a heritage colour scheme with a shower over bath that has been fitted with a hand shower for convenience and a quarter glazed shower screen. The toilet is combined in the bathroom and a porcelain vanity with flip mixer tap plus a clean glass shelve all add a nice touch to the overall finish. The external instant continuous gas hot water service allows for long soaking baths.
The laundry is positioned at the rear of the home with easy external access, a nice timber cabinet houses the laundry sink; all with ceramic tiled flooring.
The home has ducted evaporative air-conditioning for those long hot summer days, being economical to run, allowing the home to be kept at a moderate temperature 24/7.
Out back there is a lovely rear garden with a nice lawn area and established shrubs. A red brick retainer wall and garden bed runs across the entire back yard with a high solid brick fence behind offering privacy.
The lock up carport with remote roller door allows for convenient drive through access.
