Auction Location: on site.
This is an exciting opportunity to secure a beautiful 1920's character bungalow, with a superior quality, double brick extension, built to the highest standards. Just move in and enjoy the fact you have a rare home with heritage, professional additions, room to move and one that has been progressively well maintained and much loved by the current owner.
Taking pride of place at No.1. and north facing, sit out on the tessellated verandah and watch life go by. This is the one you're looking for! So generous, it is light and a broad hallway welcomes you, with full height ceilings in all rooms and features intricate original mouldings. The rooms are all good sizes with four heritage wood panelled and tiled fireplaces retained, glowing baltic pine flooring and loads of leadlight. Currently configured as three bedrooms with a separate formal lounge including a generous box window. It takes you back to reminisce of a calmer era, snuggle up with a good book and live a little slowly! The surprise element is revealed, it's a large open plan kitchen, family and dining room zoned for living requirements of today with a feel of yesteryear. It is a flexible space and could easily convert to provide for a fourth bedroom, if the formal lounge was not required, depending on your needs. The master bedroom features a walk-in robe and ensuite, a place for everything. The main bathroom has a claw foot bath ready for your deep soak after a busy day or great fun for the kids.
The kitchen has a walk-in pantry and adjoining laundry - oh so functional. It is well designed with solid granite benchtops and breakfast bar and ample storage. Enjoy cooking and being part of the party as you can entertain in style, planned to ensure you're not stuck in a separate kitchen, while still retaining the era look with the solid timber kitchen, heritage, wooden window frames and sills and light flowing through from the generous wide windows, featuring leadlight sourced to match to the original windows of the home. Spill out onto a fully paved entertaining area, with such great perimeter box seating, room to host a major party, family gathering or for tinkering if it's your thing. There's a water feature to set the mood and the elevated dining area makes it a little bit more special. The access along both sides of the home has storage and service areas all under control. You always need some out of sight corners, especially when downsizing and this one will be ideal for that. Many can't locate a home with space for a full house full of furniture as most Townhouses/ apartment living or units / Community courtyard homes and duplexes, see new owners needing to rethink what will fit, don't worry. Here you'll have room for decent sized furniture, full height walls for your art and treasures and you won't have to reinvent your style to fit. It is secure with high fencing, remote access, and a security system with back to base capabilities. Ducted, zoned, reverse cycle air conditioning allows for sensitive heat control.
This position is so special as it gives side access on Prospect Terrace to allow maximum use of a compact 459sqm (approx) allotment and the home is in excess of 300 sqm of built area, so it has loads of home and very low maintenance. If you could pick a spot that's convenient and close to CBD, Walkerville, North Adelaide, Gilberton, Medindie, St Peters or Norwood, all Adelaide leading suburbs, this fits the bill. Walk to the wonderful, vibrant Prospect Road precinct with every aspect of lifestyle, entertainment and business covered. It's arts and schooling, sport and family all within walking distance, great shopping at Walkerville and North Adelaide. So if you've been looking at a down size or long term investment, your work from home office or a secure lock up and leave, or a home to suit a family close to Adelaide's leading Colleges from St Peters, St Dominics, Black Friars, Wilderness, and zoned for Botanic and Adelaide High, your search ends here. Please don't let it slip through your fingers. To replicate this or renovate or build a home of this calibre, it will not be worth a two year search and the angst of the journey. It's here and there will be a new owner to be custodian for another generation. Remember most have their happiest memories from their own College days. Start creating your memories too.
