74 Thomas Street, Unley, SA 5061

This Bluestone beauty is just metres from the buzzing shops and cafes of swish King William Road and minutes to the city. This freestanding cottage represents opportunity to buy into one of Adelaide's most valuable neighbourhoods.

Presenting an appealing face to the street, with quaint verandah, climbing roses, cheerful red shutters and leadlight entry, the home enjoys all of the most sought after Victorian details. The polished timber floors and high, ornate ceilings feature in the original front part of the home. The two bedrooms both have fireplaces, built in wardrobes and lovely tall windows. A pretty leadlight door from the hallway opens into a cosy lounge room with rich red feature wall, decorative fireplace with original tiling and a colourful leadlight and stained glass window, plus a ceiling fan. Beyond the lounge, the home reveals a modern extension with combined bathroom and laundry, very spacious kitchen in neutral tones and dining room or bright sitting room, facing the back garden.

The bathroom with light coloured, full height tiles and trendy contemporary glass-topped vanity includes a shower/bath plus ample room for all laundry facilities and built in storage. A decorative leadlight window creates a nice link between the home's history and its modern inclusions.

The kitchen with skylight and modern stainless steel freestanding stove is large enough to fit a central table if desired. Currently though, the home is configured with a dining table in the sunny rear extension adjoining the kitchen. The dining table overlooks the garden through glass sliding doors. This versatile room could also work well as a second sitting room or even a bright study. The deep rear yard has the bones of a pretty garden with gabled pergola, garden shed, plantings of liriopes, pittosporum hedge and handsome golden elm although there is opportunity here to add value by tidying up the garden beds and making more use of the generous space available.

With reverse cycle split system, gas hot water and ceiling fans, this home offers plenty of comforts. With appealing heritage features and located in one of Adelaide's best performing suburbs, this cottage will make a cosy home for those starting out, downsizing and those looking for a sound investment.
