Parked on a substantial 896sqm (approx.) block in the coveted tree-lined backstreets that run parallel to The Parade, getting you close - but not too close to this famed thoroughfare's vibrant restaurant and retail scene - 26 Fisher Street is the quintessential bluestone fronted villa so many seek, and it's ready to have the final chapter of its restoration story written by you!
The footprint is classic: 3 big bedrooms and a lounge - all with open fireplaces, branching off a wide central hallway running from the main entry under the classic bullnose verandah through to a combined kitchen/meals and dining area surrounded by a full bathroom, laundry and storeroom. Beloved character features like timber floorboards, stained glass panels, ornate ceiling roses and arched fretwork have been retained and refurbished, and modern updates are already in play - like ducted reverse cycle AC.
Comfortably liveable just as she is, with the current kitchen fairly basic and lacking final flooring - but with all the essentials to get you by - this property gives you the option of moving in and getting a 'feel for the place' before you finalise its end game. That could be just finishing up the existing footprint, but with all that open grassy space out back - why stop here?
Yes, on the other side of a leafy arbour and shady alfresco entertaining pergola, there's a huge expanse of flat vacant land behind this gorgeous cottage - all the room in the world to add on a big extension to get you all the indoor/outdoor contemporary living you need (STCC).
There's simply no better place to be in Adelaide's east than in Norwood, with its unrivalled café, social and shopping scene that takes the 'village vibe' to next level status. This particular address is one of the best in the area too, just a 5-minute stroll to The Parade itself, zoned for all the right state schools and with proximity to the top private colleges - and all only 2km from town. Step in and bring this beauty to completion and start living your best life!
