Positioned in the heart of prestigious Parkside and just 2.5km from the city, this original four-bedroom sandstone-fronted villa presents a rare opportunity to reimagine a timeless South Australian classic on a deep and versatile allotment. Bursting with potential, this character-rich residence is ready for a new chapter-whether that's a thoughtful restoration, a contemporary rear extension (STCC), or both.
Behind its charming picket fence and bullnose verandah, the villa unfolds in a classic layout, with four generous rooms branching off a central hallway adorned with lofty ceilings and an ornate archway. Solid timber floors, original fireplaces and decorative cornices add to the authenticity and grandeur, while vaulted ceilings with intricate plasterwork in key areas offer a glimpse into the home's storied past.
The rear portion of the home currently includes a family and dining area, kitchen with cellar access, bathroom, laundry, and an L-shaped verandah overlooking a spacious backyard dotted with productive fruit trees. Whether you're dreaming of reconfiguring the existing footprint or designing a brand-new extension (STCC), there's ample space and flexibility to create a modern masterpiece that complements the home's enduring charm.
Beyond its enviable character, it's the lifestyle on offer that truly sets this property apart. With city-fringe convenience, lush parklands just a short stroll away, and some of Adelaide's finest shopping, dining and schooling options within easy reach, this is an exceptional address to call home.
