8 Lapthorne Street, Glenelg East, SA 5045

A true gem, everything has been done, just bring your suitcase! Thoughtfully updated to its former glory, this 1925 sandstone bungalow sits elegantly on a convenient, 692sqm corner allotment in this highly sort-after postcode.

Modern conveniences, including sparkling new bathroom and contemporary living area compliment the extensive restoration work, namely stonework re-pointing and polished floorboards that make this property a must see.

Upon entering you are greeted with exquisite cornice work, and high ceilings adorned with decorative moldings. The front two rooms, complete with cottage windows, are generous in proportion. To the left is the master bedroom, with floor-to-ceiling mirror panel built-in robe, dimmable lighting and ceiling fan. The room to the right is ideally suited as a second living area with its restored open fireplace and split-system air-conditioner.

Bedrooms two and three are equal in size to the master, one with a built-in robe and ceiling fan, the other features quaint windows allowing a flood of natural light. Polished floorboards lead to a den/study, before giving way to the modern lines of the spacious, airy living expanse at the rear of the home.

The galley kitchen with granite bench tops and Smeg and Blanco appliances, is one with the open-plan meals/living area, and lends itself to entertaining. Bi-fold doors welcome the outside in, the pitched-roof pergola and decked-spa area is the perfect spot to watch the kids as they play in their funky cubby house. A convenient second toilet is located off the laundry in this rear space.

Private and secure, the property features a two-metre high boundary fence along Dyson Street, while established plants along the eastern aspect complete the look. The bonus offering is the four-car garage off Dyson Street. With double driveway access and mezzanine floor, it is perfect for a fishing loving handy-person.

Close to popular schools, beaches and the tram, plus, in walking distance to all the attractions - shopping, cafes and restaurants - Jetty Road and Broadway have to offer, 8 Lapthorne Street is a rare offering, too good to miss.
