5 Carlisle Road, Westbourne Park, SA 5041

On a jacaranda-lined street where November turns the footpath purple, this beautifully preserved c.1925 return verandah bungalow honours its rich heritage - then opens up in all the right places with a striking architect-designed addition that brings northern light and new life to its rear.

It's a home that hasn't just endured the decades but worn them well. Ornate ceilings, timber floorboards, fireplaces, leadlight windows, high skirtings, picture rails and fretwork - it's all still here, and it still sings.

The original floorplan has been reimagined with intent, carving out a luxe main bedroom suite that now boasts its own walk-in robe and ensuite. It's a seamless nod to modern living, tucked neatly into the original framework, offering a daily dose of comfort with none of the compromise.

Then there's the architectural shift - the moment it all opens up. A rear extension bathed in northern light stretches out and settles into a wide, welcoming family space. 

The kitchen takes centre stage with its stone tops, stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar and double pantry - a gathering place without even trying. 

Slide back the glass doors and the living spills effortlessly onto a hardwood deck under full cover, made for long lunches and lazy Sundays.

A second living space or a fourth bedroom, if that's your need - offers flexibility with a view to the garden. Quiet enough for deep work. Comfortable enough for movie nights. Versatile enough to grow with you.

With a bill-busting solar system, ducted air conditioning, clever custom storage (including a bookcase that deserves its own moment) and an auto-watering garden to keep things green with zero fuss, this home runs smart as well as stylish.

All of it just a short stroll from cafes, shops, the tram and the best bits of Goodwood and Unley Road - in a suburb that values its space, its trees and its peace. Westbourne Park, in full bloom.
