The Torrens A Contemporary Escape in the Foothills
A short walk from Mitcham Shopping Centre, the train station, and local cafés, and a short drive from Brownhill Creek Recreation Park, this contemporary home is perfectly placed to explore the best of Adelaide's leafy inner south. With generous living areas, three full bathrooms with an additional toilet, a modern kitchen, and a covered patio, there's plenty of space to unwind between adventures. Enjoy ultimate comfort with central cooling and heating, plus on-site parking for easy exploring.

Upstairs, a second lounge provides another place to unwind, making it easy for larger groups to spread out. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for home cooking, including an espresso machine, dishwasher, oven, microwave, full-sized refrigerator, cookware, and a generous dining table that encourages long meals together.
Outside, the private backyard extends the living experience with outdoor dining, comfortable furniture, and sun loungers for soaking up the sunshine or enjoying a leisurely afternoon with a coffee. The peaceful garden setting offers extra room for children to play or for adults to enjoy fresh air between adventures.
Two king bedrooms each feature their own ensuite, offering comfort, privacy, and a restful place to unwind. The two additional bedrooms each have a queen bed and share the main bathroom, bringing the home to three full bathrooms in total. Each bathroom offers a spacious, contemporary setting to refresh, with the main bathroom also featuring a full-sized bath alongside a separate walk-in shower. A separate downstairs powder room adds extra convenience for groups.
The private laundry includes a washing machine, iron, hangers, and essentials for longer stays. Central air conditioning and heating ensure year-round comfort, while Wi-Fi is available throughout the home. Driveway parking is available for up to two vehicles.
Please note: the garage is not available for guest use. This home is split across two levels and includes internal stairs, which may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility. During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!
