You'll come for the time honoured charm of its c.1905 hallmarks and periodic updates. You'll stay for the way this corner villa considers every stage of life and the option to extend into its huge 929sqm (approx.) plot in one of Adelaide's most exciting city-fringe suburbs.
Beyond the picket fence, inch-perfect gardens, return verandah and stone facade; a light, bright and airy three-bedroom home that gets better with age and draws you to the living zones at its heart.
There's something beautiful about dark stained pine floors. Especially when they are paired with lofty decorative ceilings, ornate fireplaces, chandeliers, arched openings and colourful leadlight windows.
Bedrooms one and two tuck into the front of the home, lapping up the northern sun and a glorious garden outlook in the process.
The central lounge room makes its fireplace with tiled hearth - the focal point and carves out enough space for two Chesterfields and a dining setting.
Across the hall; a fully renovated kitchen with 90cm oven, gas cooktop and storage high and low. The hub and soul of a home that places a third bedroom, sunroom, updated bathroom and separate laundry at its rear.
And the rear is where your grand visions for a future extension will take hold. For now, enjoy the covered patio, side-road access, double garage and cricket-ready lawns.
What you'll see from day one is the Australian suburban dream, all wrapped up within 15 minutes of the CBD, steps from train stops, 3 minutes from Queen Street's cafes and 6 minutes from buzzing Bowden. You'll stay for a long, long time.
