The word is out; with the inner west's incessant rise comes a turn-of-the-century two-bedroom cottage preparing to surge first-home buyer frenzy to fever pitch.
For the professionals out there, we've stepped out your city shuttle and it seems it's just 3 major intersections from West Terrace…
Neat, renovated and freshly painted, this 1900s number gushes with character; Baltic pine boards, ornate 3m ceilings and four feature fireplaces - all wish list fillers on a compact 347sqm Torrens titled allotment offering valuable scope to extend (STCC.)
Yet beyond the pickets, the off-street parking for 2 and freestone façade, its size will surprise - lifted by natural light at every turn, stained glass praises the entry and the massive master suite's period arched pane, while bedroom two matches in size, light, and fireplace romance.
Where slumber ends, living begins with sociable connection between living and dining zones, prompting nights in gravitating around the final two fireplaces. And, what was once the kitchen cooker of its day, the cast iron Metters stove is now a dining room focal point and a prized period memento…
Next up, the versatility of a study nook and cellar room creates oodles of cottage storage for modern-day sensibility.
Fit for now, the totally timber kitchen with wall oven, and gas cooktop stands on slate floors against a heritage bathroom/laundry layout including a freestanding bath, while both wet area's bronze-tinged tapware is once again, bang on trend.
Peer out to cottage garden magic from the kitchen window or feel it from the quaint brick-paved patio - these low-care grounds will still offer generous play space for pet traffic should you intrude with an extension; your doer-upper neighbours know it – they've done it...
Meanwhile, it'll take weeks to exhaust Henley Beach Road's café and eatery strip - from Asian grocers, Cibo, Thai Kitchen, Kalymnos Pastries to Indian takeaway – or there's always Foodland DIY at the Plaza and of course, famed seaside fare at Henley.
5kms from the CBD and to Henley Beach. No wonder Adelaide's tail is in a spin for Torrensville…
