This dreamy mid-century home with pool was inspired by the famous american architect; frank lloyd wright known for his house in Alfred Hitchcock's film, north by northwest.

built in 1956 in one of torrens park's most sought-after streets, this architecturally designed mid-century modernist home is a timeless classic that will pull on the heart strings.

featuring stunning carey gully stone walls, cantilevered balconies overlooking a sparkling swimming pool, walls of glass with treetop views to the sea and open plan living, all on a large allotment in excess of 900sqm.

A magnificent home for entertaining guests, it has multiple entertaining areas and effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Single level at the front, the house expands to two-storey at the back, with 2 bedrooms and bathroom on the upper level and a self-contained studio with walk-in-robe and ensuite downstairs. This flexible design allows for multiple living arrangements, including offering airbnb income from the studio or a great place to work from home.

Designed with efficiency in mind, every little thing has been considered, with the house positioned on the perfect angle to maximise the sunshine coming through the bedrooms in winter to warm the rooms naturally, while protecting the living areas from the sun in the summer.

In the winter, the fireplace in the central carey gully stone wall heats the home beautifully, creating an extraordinary ambiance for evening winter conversations over a cup of tea or perhaps a McLaren Vale Shiraz.

Sitting back at the end of the day sipping your beverage of choice while soaking up the winter sun in your lounge room, you could be mistaken for thinking you are kilometres away in the Adelaide Hills, yet within 5 minutes you could be on the train or bus, walking along the walking trails at the end of your street, walking to Mitcham Square, Mitcham Library or dropping your kids off at one of the 4 schools located within 2km from home (and there is another 4 within 4 kms!)
