A beguilingly pretty three-to-four bedroom character home on 790 sqm with a picture-perfect park at the bottom of the garden and rear laneway access: Now, that's a rare and exciting find!
Add to this a supremely sunny, open plan family living area and elevated timber deck, plus the option of a formal lounge and this enticing home really does deliver the kind of living and entertaining options that dreams are made of.
With street appeal aplenty the perfect symmetry of the circa 1900 sandstone-fronted villa will captivate from the outset, with its delightful twin gables and exquisite jewelled leadlight festooning the entry and triple sash windows on either side.
The romance continues inside where high, ceilings, a gorgeous archway and polished timber floors are seductive highlights of the wide, central hallway leading to beautifully proportioned rooms in which Art Nouveau fireplaces are timelessly pleasing.
A further attraction of the first four rooms lies in their adaptability as double bedrooms or additional living areas, with three of them offering not only beautiful, but practical and extensive built-in storage that is also a bonus feature of the main living area.
Relax here with family and friends, in the comfort of ducted heating or cooling, and enjoy inspiring, uninterrupted views of North Unley Play Park, which the household can freely access through a gate in the rear fence.
Part of the original home the sunny kitchen has been imaginatively integrated into the more recent additions to create a large, interactive space with an easy flow through to indoor and outdoor dining areas, the latter benefiting from a mains gas barbecue supply.
A compact laundry with a terracotta tiled floor and more good storage is neatly tucked away off the carpeted indoor dining area, whilst a linen cupboard, powder room and a lovely large heritage style bathroom with a cast iron bathtub are conveniently located nearby. The home also features a cellar beneath the kitchen.
Outside, steps lead down from the entertaining deck to a rolling green lawn and, down again, to a paved area with vehicular access from the laneway to a single garage. Additional off-street parking is available at the front of the home.
The surrounding area is a treasure trove of things to see and do. Walk down King William Road for your pick of twenty cafes, with new ones popping up all the time, or catch the tram into the city and Glenelg, for a stress-free ride to work or a fun outing any day of the week. Together with accessibility to a selection of top public and private schools, many within walking distance, this jewel of a home will appeal to many and is a must for early inspection.
