Horse and cart once passed by the stables that stood in place of this C.1910 symmetrical cottage that's as proud of its charming, solidly built past as it is of its exciting potential on some 697sqm approx, just ten minutes from Adelaide's CBD.
Beneath the stucco on the front façade lies the home's original stonework, offering a unique opportunity to restore and highlight its timeless character. Four equally spacious main rooms - including three bedrooms and a lounge - make up the robust original section of this enduring home that was extended to include its rear kitchen.
With solid timber cabinetry, dual sinks, gas cooktop, deep storage and space for a dining table, the kitchen will keep on keeping on in this eminently liveable home.
There's character underfoot too, with pine boards beneath the carpet in the first two rooms and along the central corridor, complemented by timber skirtings and doors, high ceilings in the original section, and a sense of sturdiness that only homes of this era tend to possess. Beneath the home, a disused cellar offers a fascinating reminder of its past and potential for future restoration or storage.
Out the back, a wide verandah surveys a generous garden with fruiting greenery, a rainwater tank of approximately 3000 litres, a powered garage with lights and power points, carport parking, shedding, storage and a chicken coop for those who still appreciate aspects of a past era in their new abode.
Live in it, lease it, polish it up, extend the footprint or take a bigger view of the land and rebuild from the ground up, with the depth, access, existing improvements and 697sqm approx. parcel giving renovators, builders and long-game buyers plenty to ponder.
A few minutes from Plant 4 Bowden, The Gov, Coopers Stadium, the Entertainment Centre tram stop, Brickworks Marketplace, local schools, the River Torrens Linear Park and the CBD, it sits in the kind of inner-west pocket where character, land, history and future upside coexist.
