3 Mainwaring Street, Willunga, SA 5172

With a setting on the fringe of wonderful Willunga, in a quiet little no through road, this adorable timber framed 3 bed, 1 bath home with external ‘studio’ and lots of shedding, is the complete starter package…..or the perfect pottering pad.

Cute and cosy and presented beautifully throughout, quality cottage style features combine with some original elements resulting in a funky blend of country cosy with a retro vibe.

The front is half clad in corrugated iron adding a trendy edge to a traditional facade. Internally, the home boasts beautiful Jarrah floorboards throughout, complementing the gorgeous chunky dark timber window and door frames which contribute to the period country cottage feel. Built in 1955 the original kitchen is a funky retro space – add a few contemporary stainless steel appliances and maybe a new bench top and the result would be bang on vintage trend and sympathetic to the overall vibe of this adorable little property.

872m2 in size, the block offers lots too. A little weatherboard studio is a versatile and welcome addition and would make a great craft or art space, home office, rumpus room or gym. There is a big workshop tucked away neatly at the bottom of the garden and a decent garden shed. Front and rear verandahs overlook the easy care gardens, set mainly to lawn and bordered by established hedging, mature trees and shrubs offering privacy and an attractive outlook.
