11 Horrocks Street, Torrens, Act, 2607

With​ ​its​ ​1960s​ ​soul,​ ​enviable​ ​street​ ​setting​ ​and​ ​plenty​ ​of​ ​scope​ ​to​ ​make​ ​your​ ​mark,​ ​this​ ​graceful​ ​three-bedder​ ​exudes​ ​all​ ​the​ ​nostalgic​ ​charm​ ​that​ ​you​ ​would​ ​expect​ ​from​ ​that​ ​era,​ ​generous​ ​proportions,​ ​welcoming​ ​ambience,​ ​warm​ ​timber​ ​touches​ ​and​ ​so​ ​much​ ​more.​ ​

The​ ​light​ ​brick​ ​form​ ​is​ ​dotted​ ​with​ ​expansive​ ​windows,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​broad​ ​front​ ​terrace​ ​beckons​ ​relaxed​ ​coffee​ ​mornings,​ ​gazing​ ​across​ ​the​ ​quietness​ ​of​ ​the​ ​garden.​ ​

The​ ​home​ ​has​ ​benefited​ ​from​ ​some​ ​thoughtful​ ​updates​ ​over​ ​the​ ​years,​ ​including​ ​a​ ​large​ ​extension,​ ​gifting​ ​a​ ​wonderful​ ​flexibility​ ​and​ ​lots​ ​of​ ​room​ ​to​ ​move.​ ​This​ ​is​ ​an​ ​outstanding​ ​canvas,​ ​ripe​ ​for​ ​imagining,​ ​capitalising​ ​on​ ​the​ ​idyllic​ ​street,​ ​and​ ​popular​ ​Woden​ ​Valley​ ​position.
​ ​
Horrocks​ ​is​ ​a​ ​coveted​ ​loop​ ​street​ ​surrounded​ ​by​ ​green​ ​spaces,​ ​including​ ​the​ ​endless​ ​bushland​ ​peace​ ​of​ ​Mt​ ​Taylor​ ​Reserve.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​an​ ​easy​ ​stroll​ ​to​ ​Torrens​ ​Primary​ ​School​ ​and​ ​the​ ​local​ ​shops​ ​for​ ​great​ ​coffee​ ​from​ ​High​ ​Society​ ​Cafe​ ​and​ ​fresh​ ​pasta​ ​from​ ​St​ ​Elmo.​ ​This​ ​tranquil​ ​suburb​ ​is​ ​famed​ ​for​ ​its​ ​proximity​ ​to​ ​the​ ​bustling​ ​Mawson​ ​Southlands,​ ​the​ ​independent​ ​cafe​ ​scenes​ ​at​ ​Chifley,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​dynamic​ ​Phillip​ ​and​ ​Woden​ ​Precinct.​ ​
​ ​
Entry​ ​is​ ​via​ ​the​ ​sunny​ ​front​ ​terrace,​ ​edged​ ​with​ ​decorative​ ​wrought​ ​iron,​ ​imbued​ ​with​ ​the​ ​botanical​ ​bliss​ ​of​ ​the​ ​garden.​ ​There​ ​is​ ​a​ ​welcoming​ ​foyer​ ​set​ ​with​ ​a​ ​patterned​ ​glass​ ​panel​ ​and​ ​an​ ​immediate​ ​feel​ ​of​ ​openness​ ​and​ ​flow​ ​as​ ​you​ ​traverse​ ​the​ ​generous​ ​L-shaped​ ​living​ ​and​ ​dining​ ​area.​ ​Glass​ ​sliders​ ​open​ ​wide​ ​delivering​ ​you​ ​to​ ​the​ ​sheltered​ ​rear​ ​patio​ ​with​ ​its​ ​views​ ​across​ ​the​ ​quiet​ ​back​ ​yard.​ ​
​ ​
The​ ​dining​ ​space​ ​flows​ ​openly​ ​into​ ​the​ ​extension​ ​that​ ​has​ ​privileged​ ​the​ ​home​ ​with​ ​the​ ​flexibility​ ​of​ ​a​ ​second​ ​living​ ​area.​ ​Anything​ ​goes​ ​here​ ​–​ ​lounge​ ​room​ ​retreat,​ ​creative​ ​studio​ ​for​ ​working​ ​from​ ​home,​ ​games​ ​area,​ ​or​ ​enormous​ ​rumpus​ ​room.
​ ​
The​ ​kitchen​ ​design​ ​features​ ​pleasing​ ​neutral​ ​tones​ ​with​ ​timber​ ​detailing​ ​and​ ​banks​ ​of​ ​cabinetry.​ ​There​ ​is​ ​modern​ ​90cm​ ​ceramic​ ​cooktop,​ ​and​ ​a​ ​big​ ​window​ ​that​ ​welcomes​ ​light​ ​and​ ​captures​ ​the​ ​established​ ​backyard​ ​and​ ​near​ ​new​ ​pergola.​ ​There​ ​is​ ​room​ ​for​ ​a​ ​meals​ ​table​ ​here​ ​as​ ​well,​ ​which​ ​is​ ​perfect​ ​for​ ​family​ ​life,​ ​the​ ​whole​ ​space​ ​opening​ ​onto​ ​the​ ​rear​ ​patio​ ​and​ ​garden.​ ​Meanwhile​ ​the​ ​adjacent​ ​laundry​ ​offers​ ​plenty​ ​of​ ​space​ ​and​ ​storage​ ​possibilities.​ ​
​ ​
A​ ​slender​ ​hallway​ ​ushers​ ​to​ ​three​ ​bedrooms,​ ​all​ ​with​ ​vintage​ ​timber,​ ​built-in​ ​robes​ ​and​ ​windows​ ​that​ ​capture​ ​light​ ​and​ ​landscape.​ ​The​ ​family​ ​bathroom​ ​and​ ​separate​ ​toilet​ ​are​ ​original​ ​and​ ​charming,​ ​finished​ ​in​ ​floral​ ​notes​ ​of​ ​cornflower​ ​blue​ ​with​ ​mosaic​ ​tiled​ ​floors.​ ​There​ ​is​ ​a​ ​bathtub​ ​and​ ​an​ ​updated​ ​vanity​ ​and​ ​glass​ ​shower​ ​screen.
