Brimming with appeal in one of Adelaide's leafiest character suburbs, is a c1900 villa of impressive potential with its best story yet simply waiting to be told on an imposing 860sqm block...and here in beautiful Birkdale.
Enviably set an easy wander to Big W, Cabra College, Bracegirdle's Cafe, and local shops on Winston Avenue, "Carinya" holds 45 years of fond memories for its current owners and is bound to fulfill a project buyer or family's dreams with a renovation, polish and/or lifestyle addition (STCC.)
The honest 3-bedroom home insists its distinguishing features should shine again: from its stone facade, stained-glass entry, central hallway arch, and lofty pressed metal ceilings - all defining clues to its era charm.
In true villa style, the footprint leads from an opening lounge with decorative fireplace mantel and gas heater, crosses the hall for a spacious master bedroom, follows with 2 more double bedrooms, and centres around the dining room and kitchen.
Directly opposite the eat-in sized kitchen with a stainless Blanco gas stove, rangehood, and wall oven, the dining room recalls plenty of cheer and celebrations; it's next momentous event might be when those renovation plans are revealed...
And from here is where it could start.
From the home office/4th bedroom, the wet area back end including a modest laundry, large vintage bathroom, separate toilet, and a sunlit utility room bookended by sliding glass and stepping out to a paved all-weather verandah.
Yet behold the magic that can happen if the 56m* deep block gives you any inspiration - it sure will.
With it comes gated carport security, a tidy rear garage and tool shed, and the extensive and exciting backyard stretch of outstanding opportunity.
