This pocket of Bedford Park is an absolute delight and a real surprise. 

Relaxing out on the elevated terrace amongst greenery and birdlife - it really is hard to believe that Seacliff-Brighton beach is 10 minutes away, the convenience of the north-south corridor is just there, while Flinders University and Hospital are walking distance, and the train to Adelaide too! 

26 Heath Street is a secluded gem in a very pretty spot. Tree lined streets are a pleasure to walk and the Sturt Linear reserve and walking trails are around the corner. Living here is where that calming "Hills feeling" meets city convenience!

In 1966, this solid brick home was built for its sloping 680sqm allotment and to take advantage of the elevated position looking across to the Sturt River. The split-level design lives on top of a double garage - and there are two more parking bays out the front.  
Inside, the floorplan is deceptively spacious and lives with that mid-century character! It feels private, safe and secure, high ceilings create a sense of space throughout and lots of windows bring in natural light - especially to the living areas that all look out to greenery. 

There are three bedrooms peacefully tucked away in their own wing - two have built in storage, the main is a large room and bedrooms two and three are a nice size too! They share a main bathroom which houses a large shower alcove, bath and toilet. Ideally there is a separate toilet through the laundry! All wet areas have plenty of natural light. 

The central main living area is a great size room. Large timber windows look out to the front yard gardens, it is big enough for lounge-living and a dining table, and while there is ducted evaporative air conditioning throughout the home, this area has a split system air-conditioner. If you love the idea of floorboards - in the hallway they are exposed and polished, imagine doing the same in this fabulous living space. 

The kitchen and open plan dining area are complemented by a snug-retreat which may just become your favourite room in the house! 

The light filled kitchen has a freestanding electric stove & oven, good storage and a dishwasher - it presents well, but also has the fun potential for you to improve with your own ideas in time. The dining area will accommodate a large table setting and you will love the way it is extended to the concrete terrace above the garage - a seat at the table will enjoy a serene outlook.

The adjacent retreat/snug provides that welcome versatile space we all need in a home. It has a library of bookshelves and a gas heater, which in its day, would have been a working fireplace. With a wood storage nook, this cool space invites the idea of installing a cosy combustion heater in time for next winter. And like the dining area, doors open to extend this room with its own private terrace and those views!
This versatile room could be a home-office, bedroom 4 if required, a creative studio, exercise-yoga, or kids play room. And just a thought: if you love the idea of releasing potential, think of removing the wall to the dining area to create one great open plan space that steps out to a large alfresco-style terrace. It could be amazing!

The backyard is neat and tidy and also has great potential! In front of a stone retaining wall, there is an open area to barbeque with friends - and with some simple ideas this pergola space could be turned into a very cool backyard retreat. There is an open lawn area for the kids and the family hound to play. 

Especially for the young couple starting out on their journey, and buyers searching for a peaceful and convenient place to live - 26 Heath Street presents a fabulous buying opportunity and sound investment in your future. 

Make it Yours!
