Proudly commanding a prominent corner allotment of approximately 677 sqm, 43 Hughes Street, Mile End is a captivating circa 1910 return verandah villa where timeless character, generous family proportions and considered modern improvements come together beautifully.
From the street, the home makes an immediate statement. Its sweeping return verandah, classic faade and commanding corner presence set the tone, while inside, soaring ceilings, polished timber floorboards, decorative cornices, leadlight detailing, feature archways and ornate fireplaces celebrate the craftsmanship of its era.
Designed with family living in mind, the generous floorplan offers four beautifully proportioned bedrooms, all with built-in robes. The main bedroom enjoys a newly completed private ensuite featuring quality Reece fixtures and fittings, while a central family bathroom and separate WC comfortably service the remainder of the home.
At the heart of the residence, the well-appointed kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, generous preparation space, a large island bench, gas cooking, dishwasher and walk-in pantry. An adjoining dining room creates an inviting setting for family meals and entertaining.
The scale continues through multiple living zones. A substantial family room with a fireplace provides an elegant place to gather and unwind, while the additional sunroom offers flexibility as a home office, children’s retreat or quiet sitting area.
The home’s period character is complemented by recent improvements including new oil-based polished floorboards, ceilings and cornices, lighting and downlights, heritage-style power points and switches, together with renewed electrical wiring throughout the original front portion of the residence, excluding the kitchen area.
Year-round comfort is enhanced by a new Samsung 22kW ducted air-conditioning system, complemented by a Daikin split-system to the kitchen. Security includes Hikvision ColorVu cameras and a Hikvision smart intercom, both with convenient app connectivity.
Outside, the expansive covered rear verandah creates a superb extension of the living space for alfresco dining, barbecues and year-round entertaining. Beyond, the secure rear yard provides valuable space for children, pets and family enjoyment.
A substantial detached shed provides excellent workshop or storage space, while the corner position is complemented by a generous driveway and extensive off-street parking.
Perfectly positioned in sought-after Mile End, the home places the Adelaide CBD within easy reach while enjoying convenient access to cafs, shopping, parks and public transport. Adelaide’s western beaches are also readily accessible, while families will appreciate zoning for Adelaide High School and Adelaide Botanic High School.
Rich in character, generous in scale and thoughtfully enhanced for contemporary family life, 43 Hughes Street offers the space to live, entertain and grow all from an impressive 677 sqm corner allotment in one of Mile End’s most desirable pockets.
