C1920’s return verandah bungalow with architectural extension, grand grounds & poolside privileges.

If ever there were a family home that is built for both celebration and the calm in-between, this is it – a C1927 return verandah bungalow reimagined through an architecturally designed extension and placed upon some 1,096sqm (approx.) of impeccably landscaped, eastern suburbs grounds.

Beyond its sandstone façade and established gardens, the home reveals itself gradually: a wide hallway introduces the original footprint with the kind of character impossible to replicate – decorative ceilings, sash windows, polished hardwood floors and an open fireplace bringing warmth and gravity to the formal lounge and adjoining bedrooms.

The transition into the renovated rear addition feels considered rather than contrasted, allowing the charm of the bungalow to carry naturally into expansive open plan living dimensions tailored to modern family life.

A home office sits quietly within reach, while living and dining zones stretch wide enough to host anything from midweek dinners to milestone celebrations without ever feeling overworked.

At its centre, the kitchen delivers both substance and refinement through thick 40mm stone benchtops, quality Smeg and Miele appliances, extensive storage and a layout designed to keep conversation close at hand. Beyond, bifold doors draw the living space outward onto an expansive rear deck where entertaining finds its natural place overlooking the gardens below.

The scale of the allotment only becomes more impressive from there – sweeping lawns, manicured hedging and a sparkling in-ground pool creating a backyard that feels worlds away from the city pace despite remaining firmly within one of Adelaide’s most connected eastern suburb positions.

Privately positioned to one side, the parents’ retreat enjoys its own outlook over the pool and gardens, accompanied by a walk-in robe, underfloor-heated ensuite and cleverly integrated deck retreat that lends itself equally to slow starts or a night cap away from the rest of the home.

Fully renovated, beautifully extended and balanced between timeless character and contemporary family comfort, this is a home with presence, flexibility and the rare ability to host large-scale living while still feeling deeply personal.
