13 Craighill Road, St Georges

*** Offers Close, Wednesday 17th June at 12.30pm USP***

Built in the 1930s, adored by the one family for decades and rich with interwar character; this sandstone-etched, garden-wrapped residence on a freeing south-north plot is simply St Georges personified.

Beyond its English-inspired facade is a home of rare warmth and scale, sympathetically extended to embrace not only its era, but also a sun-kissed rear garden setting with pool, pavilion and the sense the city can't possibly be just 12 minutes away. It is.

Jarrah floors, prolific timber detailing, leadlight windows, feature fireplaces, pronounced architraves and soaring ceilings with Art Deco etchings define the grand formal rooms of this soulful home that lets you escape and embrace each other on a whim.

The rear family room addition adds a more causal bookend to this 3-bedroom home that settles at its central, provincial-style eat-in kitchen with Smeg appliances, Miele dishwasher, custom joinery and solid timber tops.

Bedrooms 2 and 3 break away to their own study zones, ensuring the kids can clock on to more productive homework sessions than they're used to. Your bedroom laps up its own spacious, private corner and comes with a big bank of built-in robes.

If you can imagine long summers in and around the pool, it won't take much to envision your own stylish imprint on this eminently liveable home with a zoned roll call to Linden Park Primary and Glenunga International High Schools, just a pause from Seymour College, Burnside Village and the Hills-bound Freeway. You've reached your destination.
