Love lifts you up where you belong
Perched on the high side of a sought-after coastal strip street with a North facing aspect, this Circa 1915 Return Verandah Villa is so close to the beach you can see the water from your front door. Spend those warm summer nights out under the verandah enjoying stunning sunsets & sea breezes - this home is position perfect!
Suited ideally to those seeking a character home just a few doors from the beach and on a manageable land parcel, the corner allotment of approximately 424sqm provides rear/side street access to undercover off-street parking, manicured front gardens and a paved undercover outdoor area out the back for entertaining guests.
The home itself, filled with the period elements you would expect, has had a wealth of upgrades completed over the years, blending so well the charm of yesteryear with modern improvements.

Two pac cabinetry, tiled splashback and stainless steel appliances, along with a breakfast bar and plenty of pantry and storage space, make this kitchen a cook's haven.
- For the wine buffs, a large dry cellar can be accessed from a trap-door in the kitchen, an ideal place to store away your collection and easy to access when the occasion calls for a good bottle of red!
- Off of the kitchen, is a large home office or perhaps even a 4th bedroom for those who need it.

- The freshly renovated modern bathroom is spacious and includes a spacious shower, vanity with plenty of storage, wall mounted mirror and toilet.
- The super-sized laundry offers a second toilet, extensive storage cupboards to hide everything away, finished with large format porcelain tiles and 2 pac cabinetry, these wet areas look like they're straight from The Block.

Semaphore South is a popular beachside suburb close to the cosmopolitan shopping precinct on Semaphore Road, as well as Historic Port Adelaide and Westfield West Lakes. Enjoy the relaxed lifestyle that living by the beach has to offer, strolling on the sandy beaches; take the bike path all the way to Outer Harbor; enjoy a coffee and let the kids play at the Noonies beachside café and playground. Close to public transport and local schools and just a 20-30 minute commute to the city, the location is second to none.
