Description: Whether it ignites a newfound love for mid-century design, or simply affirms a long-held obsession, 80 Price Avenue is a home that understands the sweet spot between nostalgia and now and delivers it effortlessly for modern family life. Set behind an electric gate, leafy surrounds and complete privacy make the world outside feel a million miles away.

At its heart, an updated kitchen strikes the perfect note with apple-green benchtops, contrast cabinetry, farmhouse sink, and a suite of quality appliances, all wrapped in an open-plan design that keeps conversations flowing and sightlines open. Flexibility comes courtesy of a wildcard fourth bedroom, ready to adapt as a retreat, home office, playroom, or creative studio, and easily reinvented again and again. Outside, a wide entertaining deck overlooks a backyard that just keeps giving. Established gardens and lush lawns unfold across the 775sqm allotment, from a secure garage workshop and firepit to a cubby house, raised veggie beds, and fruit trees, creating an outdoor playground equally suited to homegrown harvests, weekend gatherings, and sunset drinks.

Summary: The one; a Mitcham landmark where heritage and contemporary living sit in rare, effortless balance
Description: Best Offers by 11:00am, Monday, 23rd February (unless sold prior) Commanding a rare 2108sqm holding in the heart of Lower Mitcham, 33 Murray Street's epic bones have been respectfully claimed, carefully honoured, and sympathetically evolved into something truly extraordinary. Beyond secure entry, the outside world falls away. Etched into Mitcham's story (including tenure as the Mayor's residence), a cinematic sandstone façade delivers a first impression that's dignified, assured, and enduring - an icon respected, not reinvented. Inside, the home's original gravitas leads the way. A grand central hall and formal lounge announce the scale, with soaring moulded ceilings and polished timber floors amplifying light streaming through banks of windows. The contemporary heart unfolds at the rear, vast family area bringing everyone together. A gourmet kitchen takes centre stage with stone benchtops, mirrored splashbacks, and an ultra-wide Westinghouse dual-fuel cooker that's part showpiece, part workhorse. Breakfast rushes, family dinners, long lunches that stretch all weekend long every moment flows naturally. Sleeping quarters unfold in distinct wings. An oversized western bedroom radiates versatility, while a central hallway unites a library with adjoining sunroom, updated family bathroom, and a private main suite with walk-in robe and luxe ensuite. A self-contained annex with its own direct entry operates independently or integrates seamlessly, delivering three further bedrooms, family bathroom, and kitchenette, primed for multigenerational living, guests, or future flexibility. French doors unfold to a veranda that overlooks the ultimate outdoor empire. A pool and gas heated spa with their own deck sit behind frameless glass fencing, a vine-draped rotunda awaits milestone celebrations, while an expansive sweep of lush lawn weaves through pickleball court, established gardens, and veggie beds, rounding out the grounds with unforgettable impact. Every bonus detail has been considered, from the historic - a wine cellar and secret safe - to the highly practical: post-swim-access laundry and guest WC, plant room, abundant off-street parking, ducted heating and cooling, and a garage workshop with sound-insulated rumpus for band practice or gaming marathons uninterrupted. Positioned in one of Lower Mitcham's most tightly held pockets, the lifestyle matches the calibre, whether it's Local Crowd and Bond & Lane for coffee, The TA for knock-offs, Brown Hill Creek for weekend hikes, Pasadena Foodland for gourmet provisions, or Mitcham Square for movie nights. Walking distance to Colonel Light Gardens Primary and Scotch College, zoned to Unley High, and just 15 minutes from the city with Torrens Park Station close by. Respected, refined, and ready for its new custodians the next chapter is yours to write.
