7 Close Street, Rose Park SA 5067

Auction Location: On site.

Simply delightful in beautiful Rose Park, this home is perfect to be made over again. Seize the opportunity to turn this rough diamond into a sparkling gem. Built around 1910 and presenting with abundant charm, this attractive villa embodies all we love about character homes in this enviable location.

Behind the front fence the home exudes personality. French doors open pleasantly from the front rooms onto the verandah and the private courtyard. Leadlight surrounds the front door, into a wide hallway. Polished floorboards flow throughout the main rooms and there is a glimpse of the archway along the hall. The lounge has double doors from the hallway giving an open feel. Towards the rear a timber kitchen presents with charm from the past and the cellar is easily accessible, a reminder of times long gone. The family/meals area looks out to a vine-covered entertaining area accessed via French doors emulating character elements to the front of the home. Renovations undertaken years ago have maintained the integrity of the home so that the fortunate new owners can be confident in the knowledge they have a very authentic property.

The low maintenance garden is terraced however there is plenty of room to play and potter with paved areas and raised veggie beds. The property offers valuable rear access from the rear lane to parking space behind an automatic door.

So many elements of this home give it a point of difference beyond the regular offerings of character homes.

Located within the highly desirable Rose Park Primary zone, leave the car at home and walk around the corner to school. However, this home is also superbly situated for families wishing to live close to a number of popular schools. Boutique shops, cafes and restaurants are within a short walk as is Victoria Park for recreation, for children to ride and skate or for a run for the dog. There is so much to enjoy living in this space. Make life sparkle.
