Absolutely precious in this tightly held corner of Prospect once known as ‘Little Adelaide’ and with timeless charm, character and appealing contemporary finishes, this single fronted, freestanding cottage is a delightful offering. Built around 1880 alongside other homes of similar ilk in a quiet enclave, the facade complete with stone, eyelash verandah, rambling Banksia rose and picket fence, presents with huge street appeal.
Inside, traditional features include fireplaces, high ceilings, picture rails and joinery complemented with rooms furbished for modern living and a lovely open living area to the rear complete with a sparkling new kitchen and laundry.
To the front of the home two light-filled, double bedrooms offer built-in robes. Along the hallway the sitting room with open fire is perfect for sitting around the open fire on cold winter’s evening. A practical floor plan gives flexibility for the study to the rear of the home to be configured as a third bedroom or studio.
Entertaining is a breeze with fabulous café doors flowing from the open plan dining/living into the inviting, sunny rear courtyard complete with a raised deck, vine covered pergola and built in bench seating. The area becomes a whole new indoor/outdoor room. There is no compromise in gardening space with the thriving, raised herb garden to the side.
With the kitchen at the centre of the party there is so much to show off. Caesarstone bench tops, two pack cabinetry finishes, double sink, Smeg gas cooktop, oven, compact dishwasher and inline water filter. There is plenty of storage with a pantry and two way cupboards. Surprising for a home this size the new laundry is generous and has outside access making for easy entrance with shopping and household tasks. The upgraded bathroom is ideally positioned for entertaining and everyday use.
There is history and plenty of stories to tell with many friendly neighbours making for a lovely community feel and all within a short distance of cafes and restaurants of O’Connell Street, the Prospect Road shopping strip and the green belt of the North Parklands.
