Tender Closing Thursday 7 October 2010 @ 5pm

This 1890 sandstone gabled villa will surprise and delight for many reasons, particularly the careful restoration and maintenance of many beautiful original features.

Charming, updated and well equipped for today's lifestyle, the home comprises five to six spacious and elegant rooms, a rendered brick laundry (separated from the house, this will be an ideal studio or outdoor bar.)

Rear street access off Dunks Lane opens to a double drive-through garage with two additional parking spaces and superb cottage gardens on 710 m2 (approx 12 m X 58) in a quiet no-through street.

Iron lacework, original tessellated tiles a wide carpeted hallway and timber frets are impressive. A lovely fireside lounge with timber mantel gas fire and stunning ornate ceilings, elegant light fittings and a neutral decor theme all add up to Charisma and Charm.

A chef's delight, the family sized near new Alby Turner kitchen is stylish and the ornate ceiling here is a standout feature. A spacious island bar equipped with double Franke sink, flick mixer and dishwasher complements good work and storage space and a 900 wide Blanco stainless steel five burner gas cooker with warming tray completes the picture of a fabulous living area of ambient warmth and conviviality.

Bathroom, laundry and back porch are fully tiled and comfortable in the style of the 1950's. Here, the potential to extend from this part of the home is exceptional due to the size of the land but, in the meantime, the paved courtyard, antique fountain and studio present broad scope for garden parties and barbecues under the stars.

This is a rare find in Adelaide's Parkland fringe ... walk to cafes, boutiques, schools, colleges ... and through parklands to the city.

No doubt about it. Here is a home to enjoy now while you plan for possible future extensions and your next stage of life.
