Weeknights, weekends - whenever! You can dine out, meet mates for a cocktail, or splurge on a fashion find anytime you like once you win the race to secure keys to this beautifully renovated 2-bedroom villa-style maisonette - barely a 5-minute stroll to Hyde Park's discerning retail precinct and even less to famed Heywood Park.
Bookended by bullnose verandahs and masked from foot traffic behind a high, solid brick front fence, this classic sandstone-fronted cutie has been respectfully reimagined to tip the scales in favour of comfort. Flooring is now a modern mix of carpet, hybrid timber and luxe tiles, and the kitchen, bathroom and laundry all sport designer refits. On the historic front, open fireplaces, 3m ceilings, sash windows and stained-glass door detailing have been retained.
The layout is familiar for the c1900 era; 2 carpeted beds branch off an entry hall leading into a central lounge - each of these rooms with an original fireplace & AC. The adjacent kitchen/dining hub has been transformed into a light-filled haven for cooking and feasting: bay-windows frame the fan-cooled dining end, while the swish new kitchen boasts abundant moulded white custom cabinetry, dark-hued benchtops and a stainless gas cooker/oven.
Stemming from here is a new full-height tiled bathroom (frameless glass rain shower and 2-toned floating vanity), and a fancy refurbished laundry with an integrated trough and washer, the WC next door. The meals end connects to a covered verandah that spills onto an open-air paved terrace overlooking a grassy fenced yard.
From this prime position less than 3km to town, you have Hyde Park's acclaimed restaurants, bars, high-end fashion st• ores and playgrounds all within a 5-minute walk. Unley Park Shopping Centre is the same time by car, and popular zoned schooling at Unley is complemented by proximity to top private city and southside colleges.
