This gorgeous sandstone fronted return-verandah villa is sure to appeal to the character home lover looking to buy a piece of Adelaide's history in this tightly held area, centrally located between the city and the sea.
Originally built in 1920 the home offers all the character features of the era whilst also being updated to include the modern conveniences of today.
The main bedroom is located at the front of the home and features a large built in robe. The second bedroom also features a built in robe plus a gorgeous open fireplace and floor to ceiling built-in bookcases on both sides of the fireplace.
The separate lounge room also has a decorative fireplace with cosy gas heater, perfect for the cold Adelaide winter nights, plus a reverse-cycle air-conditioner and another built in floor to ceiling bookcase. The lounge leads through to the kitchen/meals area, sympathetically blending with the original part of the home. The timber Farquar kitchen offers ample cupboards and bench space plus gas cooking and adjoins the spacious dining area, I'm sure you will enjoy a dinner party or two here.
To the rear of the home you will find an enormous laundry (with even more built in cupboards), a heritage-style bathroom and separate WC.
The property also features a detached, fully lined rumpus room which has its own switchboard and features a split-system reverse-cycle air-conditioner, security system plus NBN connection. This would make the ideal teenager's retreat, a great "man cave" or "she shed" and is also perfect for those looking to work from home. This room features handy built in bookcases and storage racks plus two sets of timber storage lockers originating from the Kooyonga Golf Club (these are included with the sale).
Original character features that you will love include stunning polished timber floors, high pressed-metal ceilings, decorative archway, gorgeous decorative fireplaces and original timber doors and windows. Additional features include security grilles to all windows, security system, rainwater tanks and handy garden shed. There is also a fully paved, north-facing, all-weather outdoor entertaining area, great for weekend get-togethers with family and friends.
The home is situated on approx 498m2 (12.19m x 40.84m) with beautiful established gardens both front and rear. There is a secure automatic gate providing access to the carport plus additional room for parking more vehicles under the shaded pergola area. The large garden area to the left of the existing driveway would also allow room to create a double-driveway, should you require additional parking for your boat or caravan, plus there is plenty of room for those looking to further extend the home to both the side and/or the rear.
Centrally located between the city and the sea you are also only a short walk to local shopping facilities, transport and local schools including the Emmaus Christian College. Castle Plaza Shopping Centre and Westfield Marion are both nearby and you are only approximately ten minutes from Flinders University and Medical Centre and ten minutes from the Adelaide Airport. It doesn't get more convenient than this.
Take a look - you'll love it!
