56 Austral Terrace, Malvern, SA 5061

A one-off opportunity to land yourself the family home of your dreams in one of Malvern's favourite Jacaranda-lined streets with fun, food and fashion just steps away. All the hard work's been done including the freshest of paint jobs and gorgeous new carpets, while leaving exciting scope to add your own flourishes and plan further updates.

It's a beautiful old full stone home that's managed to hold on to its bits and pieces. Lofty ornamental ceilings, character fireplaces and delectable leadlight including a hand-painted lorikeet above the front door will capture the hearts of all who enter here.

Along with a sparkling heritage-themed bathroom featuring a spectacular ceiling rose, four lovely large rooms are contained within the original villa footprint. Use these as spacious bedrooms, or three and a formal lounge if preferred. Any excuse for a real log fire will do!

Spread out, relax and entertain in light-filled additions featuring a modern laminate kitchen and practical timber flooring, tough enough to withstand the rough and tumble of family life and all those friends who will find any excuse to pop in. (A handy second toilet is in the adjoining laundry.)

Step out through sliding glass to eat, laugh and contemplate life on a large, covered entertaining deck, while children play in the shade of an old Jacaranda tree just begging for a tree house.

Perhaps make this your first project while you contemplate what else you might do. Ducted air conditioning, a second bathroom and some built-in robes would certainly add comfort and value to this gorgeous old home, and there's even room for a pool out the back.

A fantastic entree into this A-list area, surrounded by top schools including Concordia, Mitcham Girls and The Cedars Montessori, plus the thrill of being able to venture out to vibrant cafes, designer shops and public transport on Unley Road. One thing's for sure; you're going to love it!
