655 Grange Road, Grange, SA 5022

Opportunity knocks with an appealing three-bedroom family bungalow offering 40 sqm of premium independent office space, plus valuable rear access to workshops and stockrooms. Steeped in local heritage, it is one of the earliest homes in this ever-fashionable area close to the beach.

The property is ideally set up for tradies but, if you don't need a sensational workshop or the abundance of storage provided by the detached three-room set up off a super-high, 5.4 metre-wide auto garage; think Granny flats, teen retreats, home gyms and hobby sheds, and, of course, that huge garage is tailor-made for caravans, boats and trailers.

Entering the original 1922 home from the deep front veranda, the extra wide hallway delivers a character-packed welcome with vibrant leadlight, a fine fretwork divide, exquisite paneled ceilings and the lustrous timber floors that flow through to the master-built, north-facing 2001 additions. Wonderfully ornate ceilings again feature in the elegantly spacious formal lounge and three beautifully proportioned double bedrooms, where stunning Art Nouveau corner fireplaces are further scene stealers, while a corner spa bath is the height of luxury in the large family bathroom.

At the end of the hallway, French doors welcome you into the sunny open plan family room, a warm and inviting space just perfect for relaxed living and entertaining. Get creative in the huge, solid timber, country-style kitchen, where you can prep and plate up on jarrah bench tops and feed hungry mouths at the breakfast bar. Cedar-framed windows draw your focus out to the backyard where mellow red-brick paving sweeps under the pergola and around native frangipanis, to encompass an all-weather area with a sandpit, giving you a choice of alfresco entertaining and play venues. Children and pets can also enjoy freedom on the lush lawn and, in season, you can gorge yourself on peacherines, apricots and apples.

Back inside, a door separates the family living area from the self-contained office space comprising separate entry from the driveway, a washroom and, upstairs, a huge, fully functioning, open-plan workplace. Complete with a kitchenette, four large workstations, Commander phone system and Cat 5 cable, the air conditioned space would make a fantastic rumpus or you could easily add a bathroom to create a magnificent master bedroom suite.

Bonus extras include a large modern laundry, two-zone alarm system, ducted evaporative cooling and a gas space heater in the main living area.

Walking distance to the beach and vibrant Henley Square; discover the immediate delights on your doorstep with a health studio, beautician and the best pizza in Adelaide less than a minute's walk away. Also enjoying fast and easy access to the city and close to excellent schools, this ultimately flexible family home offers wonderful lifestyle opportunities only limited by your imagination.
