Elegant Sandstone Fronted Villa

This sophisticated villa, laden with classic features and with outstanding street appeal, is sure to excite buyers keen to secure a character home in this tightly held and sought after pocket of the Unley Council. Very complete and tastefully renovated in neutral tones throughout, one can live in and enjoy as is, or look forward to planning the dream extension over time on an established allotment of some 593m.
Tucked behind a high brush fence entry is made via a formal garden to the tessellated verandah and entrance with leadlight feature glass. The superb wide hallway has a central arch and leads to a formal living room boasting exquisite circular, stained glass window, stunning ornate ceiling and featuring a working open fireplace with decorative surround. All three bedrooms are generous in size, the main has extensive built-in robes and Bedroom Three with its handsome open fireplace could be an elegant formal dining room if desired.
A large, neat bathroom with bath and shower, plus separate laundry, are very serviceable and well situated to provide flexible floorplan options for prospective building additions.
The budding Masterchef will love the recently completed, contemporary, French Provincial style kitchen. Spacious with plenty of cupboard and bench space, it has an adjoining casual dining area and is quality equipped with stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, 5-burner gas cooktop, rangehood and double electric oven.

With insulation, solar electricity panels and a 24,000 litre rainwater tank plumbed to convert from mains supply, the home will be energy and water efficient into the future.
