28 Hardy Street, Goodwood SA 5034

Rarely do we see such a genuine original offering. Built circa 1930, this home has features of the era with added comforts and plenty of opportunity to reinvent for the 21st century. A quaint example of a freestone Tudor, lived in and loved by the current family over the last forty three years and adapted in that time, this home is ideal for a new owners to appreciate it as is and create their own.

Set in a garden of rockeries, lawn and crazy paved paths this gabled home presents with a freestone sandstone front with a deep verandah and columns, a box bay window and leadlight glazing to the second. A second storey was added to the original home, unobtrusive from the front and providing two extra bedrooms and a toilet upstairs. One bedroom could also be configured as a study.

Entering the hallway, original features are evident with feature ceilings, domes and fireplaces in the lounge room and downstairs bedrooms. The spacious main bedroom is to the front with older style built-in wardrobe and dresser. The second bedroom is pleasant and light with north facing windows and opens into a room utilised for many years as a sewing room but offering potential as a play room or study for a new generation.

The kitchen is original and is evidence of the quality of the initial build and fit out of the home. Very unique is a working built-in Kelvinator fridge, surely the first of integrated fridges. The cupboards fill one wall with bespoke drawers of all sizes and there is a large stainless steel sink and drain. A dining room adjoins the kitchen.

To the rear of the home a family room has slate floor, large windows and opens to the rear garden through sliding doors. A surprising second bathroom is adjacent the laundry. The four bedrooms and flexible floor plan provide opportunities for the home to be utilised as share accommodation or for a blended family.

In the large rear garden there are memories of summer cricket matches and children’s escapades with lawns, long driveway, fruit trees and space for cubbies. A small covered pergola is a perfect place to relax with a curious backdrop of novelty curios on the high garden wall. Around every corner is something of interest. At the back door a pond is home to fat golden fish. The shed is large and there is space to build an even bigger garage for boats, caravan or camping gear.

Situated between fabulous King William Road and the eclectic Goodwood Road shopping strip, the home is very convenient. Pop out for coffee, a meal, shopping, or indulge with something from the local bakeries. Embrace the retro feel of the home and area and go to the movies at the Capri or visit the wine bar of an evening. Utilise tram or bus to the city or walk/cycle for fitness and enjoyment, this location offers a fantastic lifestyle.
