As you step through the vintage style gate and past the regal stone fronted façade and sweeping verandah, it's hard to believe that the CBD sits just 4kms away from this 1890s home and its clever mix of original charm and clever modernity within.
Hang up your coat, savour the beautiful combination of 12-foot ceilings with baltic pine floors, and marvel at the nineteenth century design stretching out before you. Forget about those cramped rooms of the modern homes we see to often and enjoy three spacious bedrooms characterised by luxurious fireplaces and original ceiling roses. Upstairs adds another 2 bedrooms for the larger families, or private study options away from the hustle and bustle of the evenings.
An open-plan kitchen and lounge room will bring you back to the delights of the present, featuring all modern appliances, loads of storage, and refreshing views of the luscious backyard gardens. Duck out before meal times and collect the eggs from the chicken coup, grapes from the prolific vines or produce from the huge variety of fruit trees beyond the enchanting pergola.
The bonus surprises don't end there! An efficient 3.2kW photovoltaic solar system will see that those gas, electricity and hot-water bills are severely cut, if not negated completely. All the storage you could need is available discretely throughout the home, and did we mention the location already? Just make one turn and it's a straight drive to the beach, tram stops within walking distance and you can enjoy all the delights of North Adelaide just a hop, skip and jump away.
This home may be teeming with delights from the past, but here are some more reasons it to make it your future:
