Behind its Art Deco facade, this Torrens titled cottage offers character, potential and lifestyle in this tightly held inner city location. Set on approximately 510sqm, the home captures the timeless appeal of the Art Deco era while offering exciting opportunities for future renovation or extension.
From the moment you step inside, the home's original character is immediately evident, with lofty ornate ceilings, Art Deco leadlight features and polished timber oak floors creating warmth and personality throughout. The spacious formal lounge at the front of the home enjoys a prized northern aspect, filling the room with natural light during the cooler months, while a combustion heater adds to the inviting atmosphere. Elegant leadlight doors connect through to a second formal living area positioned centrally within the home.
The separate kitchen is both functional and welcoming, featuring timber benchtops and updates including a gas cooktop and dishwasher. Accommodation includes a generously sized master bedroom at the front of the home, also benefiting from sun-filled north-facing windows, while the second bedroom is well proportioned and serviced by an updated bathroom styled sympathetically to the era with striking black and white brick-pattern tiles. A separate laundry and separate toilet further enhance practicality.
Outside, the generous rear yard offers plenty of room to further improve or extend the home over time. A rear verandah, two garden sheds and valuable rear access via Gazeby Street to a lock-up carport add further appeal and functionality.
Positioned in a highly sought-after city-fringe pocket, the location is as impressive as the home itself. Conveniently close to the tram, local shopping, cafés and quality schools, the property is also zoned for both Adelaide Botanic High School and Adelaide High School, making it an exceptional opportunity for first home buyers, young families, professionals or investors alike.
