This substantial Art Deco Sandstone Fronted Home is located in the sought after and tightly held southern end of Prospect, in a street adjacent to Blackfriars Priory School. Well situated with only five minutes to the city by car and a short walking distance from the fine dining and cafe lifestyle of North Adelaide. Public transport is within 100 metres, North Adelaide's Aquatic Centre and the Prospect Shopping Village are nearby.
This property is in the catchment area for North Adelaide and Prospect Primary schools and Adelaide High School.
This solid family home provides plenty of character and style with great opportunity for renovation and extension.
It presents well with an attractive entrance hall opening through etched glass doors to the central hall. To the right the formal Lounge room features a triple mounted fireplace and the original curved sash windows. The lounge is optionally open to or separated from the adjacent Formal Dining room via etched glass sliding doors. There is a light sunny office/sunroom off the lounge which overlooks the side, front and back.
There are 3 well proportioned bedrooms (with the possibility of the sunroom being 4th) and a central kitchen.
The original terrazzo bathroom shares walls with 2 of the bedrooms (ensuite potential) and there is a second shower with toilet in the laundry area at rear.
This property is an example of an increasingly rare and hard to find architectural style known as Waterfall Austerity and is one of the finest examples we have seen. There is an abundance of natural light flowing into its generous spaces. The high standard detail in this home reflects the original quality build with attractive architraves, cornices, picture rails, high ceilings and period woodwork including polished timber floors throughout.
Externally complete with terracotta tiled roof and original matching garage.
The home is approx 178 m2 with a gazebo house and covered pergola area adding a further 40 m2 approx. The Block is 750 m2.
At the rear of the home lies further opportunities - eg the original kitchen could be modernised and extended through the tiled back area and or through to the generous rear outdoor area.
The rear garden area has an expansive paved area before you encounter the gazebo and the separate 4 m x 7.2 m tool shed (at the rear of the floor plan). There is also a large pergola extended behind the lock up garage providing extra area for living and entertaining according to your requirements.
The character of the street and its environs is set by the preservation and quality of the surrounding homes.
Buying this property in this location provides the option - if desired - to develop, update and renovate, setting your own style and creating a wise investment while avoiding over capitalisation.
Settle in to a relaxed elegance of a former time or whip it into the 21st century and reap the rewards.
