30 Gilbert Street, Goodwood, SA 5034

Unbeatable for lifestyle location; this charming three-bedroom symmetrical cottage boasting three separate living areas and a sparkling in-ground pool is on a delightful, easy-care 589 sqm allotment just metres from one of Adelaide's favourite cafe strips.

Located in a friendly, tree-lined street and surrounded by similar character homes, the bluestone-fronted beauty has been substantially added to over the years whilst retaining much of its original 1880's character including pretty leadlight, cosy fireplaces and polished timber floors.

Relax in the welcoming ambience of the sitting room where a slow combustion stove will keep you toasty warm all winter long and patio doors will tempt you out onto a picturesque side terrace as the mercury climbs.

At the rear, modern additions with magnificent cedar-framed windows wrap around the good-sized pool, which provides an attractive centrepiece to the wonderfully private, north facing backyard and is ready to go for summer fun.

Keep an eye on kids out here whilst you prepare meals in the white open-plan kitchen that features deep-profile bench tops with a breakfast bar, and steps down to the adjoining pool-side dining area with French door access to a covered central patio.

Across from here is a huge quantum stone-tiled studio with a sparkling white ensuite bathroom. Adaptable to a range of uses including games room or parents' retreat, it currently works wonderfully well as a gorgeous family room with the handiness of a pool bathroom and is conveniently sited adjoining the laundry.

Choose from three beautifully proportioned double bedrooms; all have luxurious new taupe carpets and are serviced by a quirky retro bathroom with a blue and white colour scheme. The designated master further benefits from a whole wall of premium built-in storage whilst the other two enjoy appealing period fireplaces.

Freshly painted in white throughout, the interior brings together the home's eclectic blend of styles, and offers the perfect blank canvas for artworks and furnishings.

The charming cottage gardens are easy to care for with the aide of a watering system whilst off-street parking is amply catered in the side driveway where a tandem carport provides drive-thru access to the backyard.

And when you fancy a change of scene; simply stroll down the street to take in a movie, taste test any one of the fashionable eateries or browse the antique shops for that perfect statement piece that will make this gorgeous character home with outstanding public transport links to the city and close to excellent schools - truly yours.
