Grand Family Living
A rare opportunity presents itself to secure a delightful character home in sought-after Kensington Gardens.
Set on a corner allotment of some 975 sqm and secured behind wrought-iron & masonry fencing, lovely low-maintenance gardens surround the home.
The magnificent Circa 1930 Grand Tudor exudes timeless elegance and sophistication with a sandstone front façade, tessellated tile verandah, stunning leadlight and tall decorative ceilings and cornices.
There are expanses of delightful Manchurian Oak panelled walls and Baltic pine floorboards boarded with Tasmanian Oak throughout much of the home.
The home accommodates the needs of a large family, offering up to four double bedrooms, three-four living rooms, four bathrooms, and a versatile outdoor entertaining pavilion.
The large master suite features wall to wall robes, a feature bay window and an ensuite bathroom. Two further bedrooms (one with an open fireplace) are serviced by the opulent main bathroom boasting a freestanding bath, cavernous shower alcove, granite-topped vanity, and floor to ceiling porcelain tiling.
A newly carpeted and the ideal 'teenager's retreat', accessed by an elegant timber staircase, comprises a fourth bedroom, living area and bathroom.
The grand formal dining and lounge room, separated by twin sliding doors, exudes charm with character fireplaces and gothic-style windows and are completed with lofty, domed ceilings.
A French provincial-style kitchen features an island bench, walk-in pantry, quality stainless appliances and expanses of rich granite work surfaces. A well-located serving station with under-bench wine storage is located adjacent to the formal living and dining rooms for the more formal occasion.
The kitchen overlooks the family/ meals area and the expansive pavilion via large bi-fold caf doors, where outdoor entertaining is a delight. Designed for those who love to cater to large gatherings, a handy servery window opens the outdoor pavilion.
The large laundry/fourth bathroom provides convenient access to the rear yard, lending itself perfectly for a changing/shower room to service a potential swimming pool in the future.
With valuable side entrance for undercover accommodation for up to six vehicles, the property will suit a large active family looking for the convenience, lifestyle and amenity of this "blue chip" real estate location.
Located in prestigious Kensington Gardens and zoned to Magill Primary School and Norwood Morialta High School, the home is convenient to quality private and public schools.
