It's 'Back to the Future' in Belair. The best of the 1970s was captured in many homes of the period, from rich, dark brick to warm timber features, from amber glass and cliplock roofing to sharp angles and ordered gardens. Fans of the era looking for a large, four to five bedroom family home over two stories will find many of those features here in a sturdily built, landmark example in lovely Belair. A half-acre block - on a gentle curve at the northern end of the Parade the property is well positioned right next to St Johns Grammar Senior School. The large allotment affords plenty of room in the back garden for play, vege garden, sheds or even a pool to take advantage of the morning sun. But, if big family living is not on your agenda, jump on the development band wagon and capitalise on the prestigious location, corner allotment and sizeable footprint. With the original owners in residence since 1978, this is a home that could shine further with a good eye for that era and sensitive redecoration. Street presence, characteristic timber features and large-frame sliding doors to the balcony combine with a great floorplan to provide very substantial bones - a testament to the builder. Most importantly, the kitchen has already had a makeover: good cabinetry, plenty of storage, dishwasher, wall oven, new ceramic hob, double sink, and a long breakfast bar seating a family meals area fit for a ten-seat table. The kitchen and meals area also has great views as well as two broad sliding doors to the balcony (plenty big enough for outdoor entertaining). The upper storey encompasses: all the bedrooms - king master with walk in robe and split system, one queen with built-in robe and split system, two double bedrooms with built-in robes, one single ideal for use as a home office or snug; original family bathroom (separate bath); kitchen/meals; light-filled formal sitting room (with balcony access); and formal dining. The front guest entry allows a choice between the formal rooms and kitchen/meals or a long hallway serving bedrooms and the family bathroom. Entry from the double car space paved southern driveway is via steps to the commodious laundry. Down the feature timber stairs is a huge games or family room with full windows to the back lawn and gum-tree canopy views. A large garage with workshop and 3-phase power has access via rolladoor to the main driveway: up the internal stairs and you're home! Here too is a generous office space or extra bedroom, under-stair storage, a long, cool gallery ideal as a wine cellar or storage area and a bathroom/wc (shower plumbed but not fitted out). The garden is well established with some fruit trees, ornamentals, roses and raised vegie beds. The majority of the much sought after old standard half acre is on the SE side of the house and offers gum-tree views and great privacy. This part of Belair is well connected with Blackwood shopping, schools and services and within moments of Belair Road and the city via Windy Point.
