240 Young Street, Unley.

Positioned in the heart of highly sought after Unley, 240 Young Street presents a beautiful 1890s character residence where original period detail meets a striking contemporary extension, generous family living and an exceptional connection to the outdoors. Beyond the private, leafy front garden, striking stone frontage and traditional verandah, the home opens to a well considered floorplan defined by impressive 12-foot ceilings, original chimneys, period fireplaces and beautifully retained character detailing. Three generously proportioned bedrooms are complemented by a versatile study or fourth bedroom, while the main bedroom features a walk in robe, additional storage and private ensuite. A centrally positioned family bathroom services the remaining accommodation, with heated flooring to the bathrooms adding an additional level of comfort. Towards the rear, the home transitions seamlessly into a modern architectural extension, where incredible natural light and generous proportions create an impressive setting for everyday living and entertaining. The expansive open plan kitchen, living and dining area features polished timber flooring, extensive glazing and a highly efficient, low-ash German-designed and built wood burning fireplace. The generous kitchen provides extensive cabinetry, substantial bench space and a large island, while an additional living area offers further flexibility as a family room, retreat or home office. Large expanses of glass connect the interiors directly with the timber entertaining deck, landscaped garden and expansive lawn area. Designed with entertaining in mind, the outdoor spaces continue with a separate covered entertainer's pagoda, providing an inviting setting to gather with family and friends while overlooking the low maintenance established gardens. Rear lane access leads to the double garage, complete with mezzanine storage within the roof space, while keyless electronic entry to the front and rear doors and garage, together with a multi-zoned alarm system, adds further everyday convenience and security. The location is equally impressive.
