Lovers of this uniquely Australian modernist style rejoice . . . a 1960's residence that has stayed true to its mid-century modern identity (or "MCM" as it is now called), while being well cared for and loved by the original owner.

Alternatively, there is plenty of potential to redevelop the 1,175sqm approx. site (STC) to maximise the highly sought-after blue-ribbon location. The allotment has a street frontage of approx. 21.95m, while the depth is approx. 53.59m and the zone is Suburban Neighbourhood.

You'll admire the pristine condition of many of the original features and the overall blueprint of this remarkable home designed by award winning Dickson and Platten Architects. The extensive use of quality timbers, raked ceilings, exposed brick walls, original terrazzo and slate flooring, the openness and airiness of unconfined living spaces and the high level craftmanship is evident throughout. Built to exacting standards, created specifically to capture the northern sun and with a clever split-level floor plan that gently hugs the land. You'll instantly feel at home in this comfortable, pared-back, yet elegant design. This 'unselfconscious architecture' is enjoying a resurgence in popularity - such mid-century warmth and character is rarely seen these days.

Comprising a formal slate entrance foyer with a unique built-in cloak cupboard; a long fluid hallway that traverses almost the entire length of the home; five bedrooms including the master bedroom with an ensuite and an impressive floor to ceiling built-in robe; a formal open plan lounge and dining room; an open plan family room and casual dining zone with large sun-drenched picture windows; a timber kitchen with plenty of storage cupboards; a main bathroom with a full bath and an original ceramic vanity; and a large separate laundry with generous built-ins and a large sorting bench.

Outside you'll find a tranquil level rear garden with an in-ground fibreglass swimming pool, a double carport, a handy exterior storeroom and a covered entertaining slate patio located on the northern side.

This ageless residence in the eastern suburbs is located in the tightly held and keenly sought part of Beaumont within a few metres of the scenic Beaumont Common. You'll find plenty of local facilities nearby, numerous parks, reserves, walking trails and good shopping just 2kms away at the cosmopolitan Burnside Village. The property is within close proximity to Seymour College, Pembroke School and St Peter's Girls School and is zoned to the JB Cleland Kindergarten, both the Linden Park and Burnside Primary Schools and Glenunga International High School. With easy access to public transport, you'll cover the 7km to the Adelaide CBD in no time.

Offers close Monday, 25th of September 2023 at 5pm (unless sold prior).
