6 Leigh Street, Salisbury Heights, SA 5109

Large 5 bedroom home with full size court set on a generous 2070sqm (approx.)

In its heyday, this big, bold beauty would have been the envy of everyone in the street. Solid brick with big rooms and raked ceilings, the bones are brilliant! Add a resort style allotment with a huge garden and full size tennis court, and you've got yourself a perfectly packaged lifestyle!

Think retro, but know quality (Tony Gasparin built). There are many aspects of this beautiful home which will translate perfectly into 2013, and then there are rooms that you'll want to change and update.

Let us walk you through...

The eloquently carved front double entry doors lead to the slate floor entry and high raked ceilings. To your left is the 5th bedroom/study. This room also has full height built in robe. To the right of the entry is the formal living room. Through the arched brick wall you are met with streams of light from the big windows and a handy sliding window to the side pergola area. Timber paneling and outstretched beams extend upwards creating a lofty space.

Through another arched walk way, you move into the grand formal dine. With a bit of imagination, the timber paneling and feature brick walls could be a feature once again with some funky furniture and a creative eye.

Connected to the kitchen via 3 or 4 steps up, you feel as though you've entered the Brady Bunch kitchen. Yellow bench tops, wood veneer cupboards and an original looking oven are definitely features! The brilliant cook top exhaust canopy sits over a four burner gas stove. While quality floor tiles will give you reminders of an earlier era. Big and spacious, the kitchen has ample cupboards and a huge walk-in pantry. The adjacent laundry is just as fabulous in yellow and brown, but there is lots of cupboard space. A handy sunroom/breakfast room is off the kitchen and is a quiet spot to soak up the sun. An additional 'sun room' is outside the laundry maybe good for a spot of clothes drying!

The rear of the home is enormous with 2 more generous living areas. Off the kitchen is a family room with meals area, and further on you'll find another huge room which could be a games/billiard room or playroom. In addition, there is guest bedroom (wall to wall built in robes) with adjacent family bathroom and separate toilet. The family room has beautiful raked ceilings which extend to the second storey. Access to this room from the front formal entry is through bi-fold timber doors, and the home's staircase is found in this area.

Up the stairs, which is open to the down stairs family room, you'll find a walk way which links two wings. At one end of the landing is a versatile space for a study or perhaps add a couple of bookshelves and turn it into your own little library. Adjacent to this is the master suite. The incredibly tall ceilings give the room a sense of space and a little opulence. With a keen eye, this generously proportioned master bedroom, with the walk in robe and ensuite bathroom could be transformed into something quite amazing. Neutral tones and big windows get you started!

The opposite wing has 2 additional bedrooms, and both with high raked ceilings and light fittings that could only be described as absolutely 'on trend'. These secret finds can inspire you to bring this home back to life! The bathroom these two rooms share has neutral tones, but is in original condition.The family room and extra living room to the rear have access outside via sliding glass doors. A two tier paved and concreted entertaining area wraps around to the side carport which could take a number of cars and gates open to allow caravans/boats etc to be housed in the back garden.

An enormous lawn area think full-on backyard cricket/football matches, is well maintained and further on you come to the full sized bitumen tennis court. There are flood lights (cannot confirm if they are in working order), but this could be redone with super grass and made a feature.

Other things to consider are:
-Four car garage plus carport for numerous cars and sweeping circular driveway
-Garden Irrigation
-Heating and Cooling
-Security system
-Huge 2070sqm (approx..) allotment.
-Spectacular views to St Vincents Gulf
-Easy access to public transport
-Convenient to local shops and Schools
