Charming Return Verandah Villa on Huge Land!
A landmark of timeless grace, this expansive c1890s Return Style Villa residence stands as a magnificent example of former grandeur. Peacefully nestled on 1223sqm (approx) of blue chip land with a North-facing rear, it represents one of Parkside's most significant and unique opportunities and an outstanding foundation for a thoughtful restoration or contemporary re-interpretation (subject to Planning Consents).
Offered for the first time in over four decades, this generational home of remarkable scale, former beauty and endless possibility, currently delivers up to four bedrooms, two bathrooms and dual living and dining domains. Beyond the return style verandah facade, the soaring 3.8m (approx) ceilings, period details and wide corbel-arched hallway introduce the six original rooms where the proportions and craftsmanship of days gone by, will immediately impress.
Accommodation is expansive and flexible. To the front, the gas fire-warmed formal lounge with charming bay window provides a refined retreat; and privately positioned off the central hallway, the three bedrooms are all double in size - the fourth currently disposed as a study; while the elegant formal dining room with door to the front verandah, is still very impressive! The bathroom includes a shower, built-in cabinetry, vanity and W.C.
The residence was extended in the 1980s to include a vast, welcoming dine-in kitchen with abundant cabinetry, gas cooktop, Miele dishwasher and pantry. The rear quarters also offer a glass-wrapped and light-soaked family room, second bathroom with shower, vanity, W.C. and fully equipped laundry.
Further enhancing comfort and practicality, additional features include:-
• Three split-system air-conditioners (kitchen, family room and Bedroom 2)
• Gas fire in formal lounge
• Ceiling fan in family room
• Deep decorative cornices, open fireplaces, ceiling roses
• Built-in robes in main and second bedrooms
• Built-in cupboards in formal dine
• Large dry cellar with trap-door entry & stairs
• Linen cupboard
• Covered verandah wrapping the rear of the home
• Large back lawn
• Two external sheds
• Double freestanding carport
Embrace this opportunity to shape your vision on this prized site with a 26m (approx) frontage in a tightly-held family neighbourhood. All amenities are close at hand, including bus transport, a mere 12-minute commute to the City, Duthy Street shops and cafes, Glen Osmond Road supermarkets, shopping and dining precinct, medical and dental, as well as leading schools (zoned for Parkside Primary and Glenunga International High School) plus St Raphael's Primary, Concordia College, Walford Anglican Girls School, Urrbrae Agricultural High School and Pulteney Grammar to name a few.
