79 Harrow Road, College Park, SA 5069

A rare opportunity to secure a highly versatile and unique property comprising two distinctive dwellings that offer linked or separate living options, situated within tranquil surrounds abutting Linear Park in one of the most peaceful and tightly held pockets of prestigious College Park. 

Behind secure contemporary fencing, two eras unite within a resort-like garden oasis. A beautifully restored and adapted 1920s' bungalow fronts the street to form a versatile extended living space, whilst hidden from view, an architecturally designed 21st century haven forms the main residence. 

THE MAIN RESIDENCE

With the opportunity to create something truly special, the acclaimed team at Troppo architects perfectly fulfilled their brief to “create a holiday house on the river 10 minutes from the city”.

With the River Torrens as a backdrop, their holiday design aesthetic takes full advantage of the bushland surrounds, with open plan living and two bedrooms upstairs and a virtual guest or teen suite downstairs. 

Remote gate entry reveals a driveway, bound by a cloister of fragrant star jasmine, that stretches to a discreet integrated remote double garage with internal entry.

Downstairs, a hallway lined by built-in storage leads to an inviting living room with built-in cabinetry. Sliders open to a covered deck on which to sit and soak up the shady garden sanctuary, with a bridge that crosses a glorious lily pond teaming with goldfish. 

A secure gate to the rear offers private access to magnificent Linear Park behind. It really is hard to believe one is less than 5km from Victoria Square.

A bedroom lined with built-ins also steps through sliders to the outdoor deck, and sits adjacent to a bathroom with tub, and laundry. 

Upstairs, sensational open plan living is underpinned by hardwood floors and bathed in light from a wall of windows and French doors. This bright, north facing expanse extends through sliders to a sundrenched balcony that gazes across the private garden to a tree-studded horizon as far as the eye can see. The result is a relaxed and comfortable space in which to entertain friends and family.


The kitchen boasts extensive cabinetry, including an appliance nook, European appliances and a central island bench that connects to casual living and meals. 


Two lofty bedrooms share a bathroom and incorporate built-in robes, with one enjoying spectacular tree-top views.


CENTRAL ENTERTAINER'S COURTYARD AND OUTDOOR KITCHEN

Intersecting and connecting both dwellings is an expansive paved entertaining and dining courtyard with a shade awning and outdoor kitchen, equipped with a gourmet pizza oven, gas BBQ and sink, perfect for cooking up an alfresco storm.

“THE BUNGALOW” STUDIO 

Used by the current owners as a studio, a guest house, and a successful Airbnb, this enchanting and highly versatile abode is ideal for extended accommodation of all kinds, whether it be for guests, family or working from home.

The captivating exterior has been beautifully restored and repointed and is embraced by a pretty waterwise courtyard garden. 

Inside, stunning period details have been retained, including decorative plaster ceilings, leadlight, polished boards and a fireplace. 

From the central passage is a spacious bedroom with built-ins, chic lounge or second bedroom, and a bathroom with integrated laundry.

To the rear, a kitchen with a breakfast bar and casual meals opens through French doors to a hedged patio and cosy outdoor fireplace, with the shared outdoor kitchen within easy reach.

This one-of-a-kind property that feels like a corner of paradise, is as irresistible as it is versatile, with the city just minutes away, prestigious colleges within walking distance, Linear Park literally on the doorstep and all the coveted lifestyle choices College Park is renowned for.
