Set behind distinguished fencing with double iron driveway gates, the perfectly preserved bluestone facade sets a timeless tone, reflecting the refined period integrity of the two bedroom interior. Crafted by its original owner-builder back in 1885, this period delight was only the second 4-roomed house built in the Mitcham Council area and still stands proudly in a wide, tree-lined street surrounded by other beautiful original properties.
Low maintenance gardens and a welcoming bullnose verandah create a charming sense of arrival; while inside, the stunning period details feel modern and fresh with stripped back Baltic Pine floorboards and crisp white paintwork accentuating the soaring ceilings, deep cornicing, skirtings and gorgeous open fireplaces.
Two double bedrooms front the home - one fitted with built-in robes and both featuring striking black open fireplaces highlighted by stunning white timber mantelpieces.
Creating a refined ambiance, the beautifully-proportioned, central skylit lounge room exudes elegance and sophistication, and also boasts a decorative fireplace.
The kitchen/dining room has been completely modernised. Here, stone benchtops harmonise with contemporary white cabinetry and brand new Westinghouse appliances, including a stainless steel oven with ceramic cooktop, dishwasher and pantry with pull-out shelving. The adjacent dining basks in sunlight from the North-facing window and sits alongside another beautiful open fireplace.
The rear previous extension introduces family room/home office space where expansive windows create a bright and breezy atmosphere, and a glistening white bathroom with walk-in shower, w.c. and modern vanity with storage.
The backyard, currently hosting a brick-paved area for outdoor dining, neat lawn and low maintenance garden, offers sought-after space to extend the home or design a spectacular alfresco domain in the future.
This delightful period property also includes:-
• A full-sized laundry with built-in cupboard
• Split system air conditioning in central living room
• Wall reverse-cycle air conditioner in rear family room
• Garden shed
• Single auto-doored carport
• Up to 3 x vehicle off-street parking
• Lockable front driveway gates
Positioned in a central lifestyle locale only minutes from bustling Unley Road and walking distance to bus stops or the train station, a 10-minute commute into the City, and surrounded by all amenities with a tempting array of shops, cafes, dining venues, and some of Adelaide's finest schools (Walford, Cabra College, Concordia College, Scotch College, Unley High, Mitcham Girls High School, St. Joseph's, Westbourne Park & Mitcham Primary Schools).
