15 Northcote Street, Torrensville, SA 5031

Walk to your city workplace from this super appealing three-bedroom Villa, on a corner allotment, combining the elegance of the Art Nouveau period with a stylish modern aesthetic.

The home takes a sensitive approach to modernization with a soft, contemporary palette enlivened with polished timber floors & splashes of colour from abundant jewelled leadlight & the vibrant tiled slips belonging to a fine collection of working character fireplaces.

Flexibility is a key feature; with the formal dining room offering scope for a fourth bedroom, playroom or study; & indeed, it has been all these things in its time.

The three double bedrooms with their good proportions & gorgeous character appointments are equally practical & versatile in addressing individual needs.

The stunning formal lounge is a place to unwind & enjoy downtime. The arched north-facing window, with its exquisitely vivid leadlight, is a match for any artwork & the fireplace is another ready source of ambience, particularly during the cooler months.

The contemporary flavour really unfolds in the slate-tiled kitchen/meals area with sleek striated cabinetry, glass splash backs, Freestyle counters & stainless steel appliances. A pantry cupboard is pleasingly detailed with a chrome trim, mirroring the finish on finger plates & door handles throughout.

Handy to all the home's dining areas, this stylish workspace keeps pergola entertaining in its sights, which may be freely accessed through French doors. Step out on balmy summer evenings to enjoy fresh sea breezes & the restful privacy of the lawned backyard where peaches, apricots, apples & home-grown veggies will soon be ripe for the picking. Many a child's birthday party has been held on the mellow red-brick terrace, a perfect all-weather venue with handy access to an outside toilet & sizeable laundry that also works as a home office for those wishing to combine employment with family life.

For the winter months there is ducted gas heating while, in summer, enjoy the natural freshness of evaporative cooling, which is seldom needed in a house with such high ceilings.

Complete with a full family bathroom featuring a gorgeous timber washstand; a security alarm, garden watering system, storage shed & large single carport with double-gate access. It also enjoys proximity to the beach & is walking distance to Torrensville Primary, St George College, ?brilliant' cafes on Henley Beach Rd & fabulous continental shopping.
