63 Salisbury Crescent, Colonel Light Gardens, SA 5041

The last three years have seen this solid 1926 bungalow on 1125m2 transformed into a stunning family home.

The combo of freshly polished floorboards and white is an effortless look, letting the beauty of original features shine through - glazed-brick fireplaces, decorative ceilings and an Art Nouveau fretwork divide.

Dreaming of a kitchen that can cater to a crowd? Don your chef's hat and whip up feasts to remember in a must-have Jag workspace featuring quality stainless steel appliances, Caesar Stone bench tops and an awesome range of soft-close storage. An unexpected bonus is that the glass splash back provides reflected views of the family room while you're cooking. Your kids really will believe you have eyes in the back of your head!

In summer the deep rear veranda, shaded by a glory vine, is the perfect spot for a barbecue while, in winter, when the leaves are gone, the open-plan family spaces can bask in the warming rays of the sun. Cafe doors make it easy to combine inside and out and there is surround sound for all your audio-visual needs.

Having a large separate dining room is also fantastic when friends or rellies come over for Sunday lunch, especially during the cooler months with the added ambience of the gas-coal fire in the adjoining lounge.

Parents will love the separation between the kids' bedrooms and the luxuriously carpeted master retreat, complete with private access to the gardens and a study that can be used as a nursery for new arrivals. A double-shower bathroom - this is one of three sleekly refurbished wet areas - serves as an ensuite and there are spacious built-ins for him and her.

There is also a separate air-conditioned studio that could work a few different ways depending on what's needed - teen retreat, playroom or home office - along with a thriving veggie garden and some fruit trees that will keep you supplied with fresh seasonal produce.

All this and more, walking distance to Mitcham Shopping Centre, the library, playgrounds, schools and The Pantry serving the best coffee in Adelaide; also on the bus route and close to train travel when services resume later in the year.
