50 Pleasant Avenue, Glandore, SA 5037

A wonderful opportunity to own a highly desirable large character-laden home which also boasts the addition of some retro quirk. Admired by those in the know as a local iconic residence, this lovely Queen Anne return verandah villa, on a large convenient corner block, has been held by the current family for 44 years and is now on offer to be appreciated by another family for decades to come.

Offering as a home with large original rooms, stunning Art Nouveau architectural features prevail including beautiful timber panelled entry hallway, original timber fretwork, very ornate high ceilings, attractive leadlight, open fireplaces and polished pine floorboards. The formal living room is light, enjoying large feature casement windows and opens onto the verandah for a pleasant breeze on summer evenings. The study has quality retro built-in cupboards and main and second bedrooms are also light and pretty boasting character features. At the same time there is added interest of additions over time for comfortable family life including a country kitchen overlooking a casual meals/family room and third bedroom to the rear. A large pantry/store showcases preserves and wine and boasts a cellarette below. A family bathroom services the bedrooms and there is the convenience of a second toilet for visitors and a second shower. There is flexibility in this floorplan for the larger family to live in as is or further change and adapt.

The corner block provides the convenience of a double garage with side entry to the rear allowing direct internal access to the kitchen. Designed to optimise the party and entertaining potential of the home it has glass sliding doors that open into the rear Mediterranean-style area complete with barbecue and a large shady pergola covered with old vines. The garden features plantings of attractive drought tolerant/ low maintenance plants and offers shady spaces, room for children to play, a veggie patch, for pets or even chooks. A large double shed/garage with room for a workshop at the rear of the block has separate vehicle access and is sure to keep the hobbyist, camper or motor enthusiast content.

In such a convenient location, the tram is so easy to jump on board and make a trip to Glenelg and the beach or to the city, ride the bikeway or walk to nearby ‘Empty Bottle’ on Beckman Street.

Enjoy everything on offer, explore the potential to add your own touches or extend further and make this your home ‘forever’.
