A Beachside Character Symmetrical Cottage Just Metres to Jetty Road.
**$645k - $695k - Offers Close on Monday 31/7 @12 noon**
Held by the current family for more than 70 years, the length of ownership certainly illustrates the love this family has felt for not only this character cottage, but also the location; and you can understand why when you're just metres to cosmopolitan Jetty Road with its boutique shopping and headlined by the historic Largs Pier Hotel which itself overlooks the golden sands and shimmering sea of Largs Bay beach.
The location offers so much, with many hot spots just a short walk from your door including the shopping and dining options of iconic Semaphore Road, the ever-changing Port Adelaide precinct and the redevelopment of Fort Largs.
Built around 1880, the solid brick and shingle roof Torrens Title property bursts with original character from its stone façade, sash windows and high ceilings. More 'modern' additions highlight the mid-century Retro era like the etched glass sliding doors in the dining room and kitchen display cabinet, Axminster carpets and a gas fireplace with ceramic mantles surrounded by a fabulous studded pink mantle.
The easy floorplan includes 2 double bedrooms, separate dining room with split system air con, gas heated sitting room, immaculate kitchen with gas stove and great storage, rear lobby with laundry, while a bathroom completes the internal layout. A high clearance carport, powered single garage, verandah for all weather outdoor living, garden shed, a fruit filled garden with lawn and easy care plantings seals the deal!
Adelaidians love their character homes and this one will no doubt appeal to many different buyers. It's offers a great project to renovate and enhance to a style you want … or extend the rear in to the spacious back yard where there's also room for a pool … or the investor could maximise the current high demand for rentals as this one is ready to rent as is. Whatever your motivation
This envious beachside location is close to boutique and grocery shopping along Jetty, Military and Semaphore Roads with 7-day shopping and entertainment precincts in Port Adelaide, West Lakes and North Haven. With seaside walking and bike paths, parks, reserves and playgrounds throughout the LeFevre Peninsula, there's something for all ages to enjoy. Boaties will enjoy easy access to the water and club activities at the Largs Bay Sailing Club. For those with school aged kids, you're zoned to Largs Bay Primary School and LeFevre High School and you'll never be late for the train, while public bus transport will also get you where you need to be, and the City worker will get to the CBD with a 30-minute drive.
This outstanding character residence is full of potential in a location to match.
