Under instructions from the executors to finalise a deceased estate.
Ready to move into whilst dishing up endless exciting possibilities for the future, this classic early 1900s, 3 bedroom Villa presents with a character rich facade and graces a generous allotment of approx. 975 sqm just moments from a fabulous raft of amenities, including the zoned Marryatville Primary and High Schools and the attractions of Norwood Parade.
This cherished residence has remained in the same family for almost 68 years. Enjoy as is, enhance the existing floorplan with a modern makeover, or explore the options to extend out into the huge rear yard (Subject to Planning Consents).
Privately set behind a traditional brick and iron fence and framed by a manicured rose garden, the home opens to a central arched hallway that reveals the home's original charm with polished Baltic Pine floors underfoot, soaring ceilings with decorative cornices and ceiling roses overhead, deep skirtings and leadlight door panels.
At the front, a spacious lounge enjoys outlooks to the front garden and the ornate tiled fireplace anchors the space and offers a joyous nod to the home's heritage.
Lovingly maintained and extremely comfortable, the hallway guides you past three large serene bedrooms before entering the central, generously sized dining room and adjoining kitchen. It is here that many family celebrations and memorable Christmas lunches have taken place over the years. The welcoming eat-in kitchen proudly features abundant solid Tasmanian Oak cabinetry with a walk-in pantry.
The back lobby introduces the family bathroom with modern vanity, bath with overhead shower, W.C. and bidet, plus a full laundry and separate shower room with second W.C.
Outdoors, a covered rear verandah creates a sheltered area for all season use with scope to further enhance the setting for al fresco entertaining (STPC); while the secure, North-facing garden provides a sunny backdrop with a broad expanse of lawn suited to children and pets and established fruit trees (olive, plum, mandarin, orange and more) beyond. The depth of the allotment introduces significant flexibility beyond its current form. Whether renovating, adding a sun-soaked pool or extending the home (STPC), the landholding presents a genuine opportunity within a premier lifestyle setting.
Additional features include:-
• Ducted & zoned reverse-cycle air-conditioning

• Solar panels x 16 (6kW)
