6 Leonard Street, Melrose Park, SA 5039

NEW PRICE - 05/09. Urban chic or laid-back lovely; create your own dream lifestyle in this neat and tidy three-bedroom brick bungalow on a fantastic 700 sqm block backing onto a beautiful oval.

Settle in and get a feel for the home and neighbourhood ? we hear it?s a great little community with a primary school and day care both within easy walking distance - while you plan future additions in the generous north-facing backyard.

What you get up front is nice, easy-to-style square rooms with high, cross-hatched ceilings and generous windows, making for a light and airy interior.

The corner fireplace in the lounge retains its circa 1925 solid timber mantelpiece and is cheery with a gas fire, while the high mantelshelf in the eat-in kitchen is another character memento in an otherwise modern workspace with a good range of solid timber storage and cosy cork floor tiling.

The two bedrooms under the main roof are both good doubles with the rear sleep-out offering flexibility as a third bedroom or study. The generous master enjoys impressive floor-to-ceiling built-ins while the Bedroom 2 boasts a polished timber floor.

The wet areas are pleasingly modern and functional with practical ceramic tiling flowing through from the laundry to the bathroom.

Whatever your thing, it won?t take long to picture yourself relaxing and having fun in your planned additions, where generous ceiling heights and timber floors would maintain a sympathetic flow-through from the original home. Consider perhaps some café doors to link an open-plan family room with an outdoor entertaining pergola.

For now enjoy the alfresco ambience of the extended rear veranda for a shared barbecue with friends. Kids can run around and pick the ripening stone fruit in the secure, open-aspected backyard while you decide on permaculture or pool-culture.

Complete with a single carport and deep side driveway with ample off-street parking for three cars, the property is also ideally located for buses into the city and convenient shopping at nearby Castle Plaza.

Tweaked to your own predilections, this rather good bungalow will respond readily to your chosen lifestyle and could soon be a place you are proud to call home. Don?t let this fantastic opportunity pass you by!
