Everything that we love about Unley, cosmopolitan edginess, timeless appeal and character, all reflected in this lovingly maintained single fronted, attached cottage in a sensational blend of character and modern living. Built in 1880, this home and others neighbouring, have a story that is known to the owners and residents in this quiet, historic street. In keeping with this bygone era there is the gorgeous front garden behind a picket fence, shady verandah, leadlight, fireplaces, and polished board floors. These features are then complemented with a stunning modern extension and entertaining area to the rear.
Entering the home a sitting room is a retreat with a door separating from the remainder of the house. Along the hallway a second bedroom is generous and there is potential to reconfigure the open study as a third bedroom. A modern family bathroom services family and guests and includes a well designed, concealed laundry.
The main bedroom is cleverly configured for privacy and indulgence with a generous en suite featuring double shower and underfloor heating.
The centre of the home is an awesome open plan family area with stunning open kitchen. An oversized kitchen bench with waterfall Corian top and double sink is a hub for the family. Cupboard fronts are dark wood laminate. With a Kleenmaid electric oven, gas 5 burner cooktop, stainless steel range hood, Fisher & Paykel 2-drawer dishwasher and plumbed for the large family fridge this is a kitchen to make life easy. Enjoying cooking and entertaining, the owners designed the kitchen with a fabulous pantry which can be fully opened up to the kitchen and also boasts exterior access from the carport ensuring that the shopping can be stowed away before it reaches the kitchen bench. There is space for a drinks fridge in the pantry. Tasmanian oak floors provide extra warmth to the colour palette and durability for the traffic in this space.
Opening to the outdoors, huge double glazed, floor to ceiling sliding doors flow directly onto the outdoor undercover entertaining area with down lights and ceiling fan. Industrial meets rustic with an outdoor kitchen across one end of this protected area. This beautiful private yard enjoys a sunny north-easterly aspect. In the evening the garden is lit up making for perfect alfresco entertaining or a quiet spot any time of the day. A workshop is tucked away and set up for the hobbyist in the family.
Set in a quiet secluded friendly street, between the fabulous King William and Unley Road shopping strips and so easy to pop out for coffee, a meal, shopping, or the spontaneous need for something delicious from the bakery or patisserie. As well as access to public transport to the city or walk/cycle for fitness and enjoyment, this location offers a fantastic lifestyle.
