A unique opportunity awaits to secure your own character home in the much sought after and extremely tightly held, city fringe locale of Forestville. Situated in a quiet, tree lined street this circa 1905 built home is surprisingly spacious with villa sized rooms and all the period charm you would expect of the era including lofty ceilings, high skirtings and polished hardwood flooring.
Boasting excellent street appeal with a stone faade, entry from the front verandah is made to a wide hallway with decorative arch. The two bedrooms are both very generous in size and have open fireplaces in the corners, allowing maximum use of wall space for furniture placement. The spacious living area, spanning the width of the home, also has an ornate fireplace and original ceiling rose.
At the rear is a modern bathroom which includes a separate shower and bath, vanity, toilet and a niche with laundry taps and tub plus linen storage. The renovated kitchen has a stainless steel gas cook top and electric oven, breakfast bar and double sink. Adjacent is ample room for casual meals as well as a sitting or study area.
Sliding glass doors lead to a covered and paved entertaining pergola which overlooks a pretty, private garden already established with lavender and rose bushes. Extras include ducted evaporative cooling, an additional separate r/c a/c unit, security system and good sized storage shed with concrete base.
Within a few minutes stroll to the Tram, Unley Swimming Centre, Sunday Farmers Market, Goodwood Road cafes, 7 day shopping and services this property is sure to be a popular choice for first home buyers or investors.
