Featuring a sweet sandstone-fronted bay-windowed façade, 13 Cotham Avenue is a warm and welcoming reproduction colonial-era abode that would make an excellent forever home, whether you're an empty nester ready for less maintenance, or a young family starting out and prioritising proximity to family-friendly amenities.
The mirror image of its adjoining neighbour, this 3-bedroom lowset tips its hat to history with 2 lengthy bullnose verandahs, one over the front entry and another down the side, along with several period décor elements including sash windows, ornate ceiling roses and frosted glass lighting.
The single-level layout is ideal for downsizers, a professional couple all small family - offering easy-upkeep, air-conditioned living inside, and lushly planted grounds (but no grass to mow) outside, full of tranquil spots to take in some sun with a cuppa in hand. The bay-windowed lounge is a cosy carpeted space that opens through French Doors onto the side patio and connects with the dining area where a high brekky bar provides a bird's eye view into a tiled kitchen with timber cabinetry.
The carpeted sleeping wing sits across from the central entry passage, the master with an ensuite, the other 2 rooms sharing a big family bathroom with a shower-over-tub - a great set-up if you'll be caring for grandkids. There's a separate laundry and secure side carport.
As for this location, well it's a walker's paradise! Dining, shopping options (ALDI) and buses to get into town are literally waiting around the corner on Magill Rd, while you can walk to a big recreational reserve in 15-minutes and get to zoned schools super easily on foot or by bus. With such broad appeal, interest will be high!
