Nestled discretely behind high brick front and side walls on a fully landscaped, easy-care, low-maintenance, compact allotment, the home, which commenced "life" as a single -fronted sandstone and brick cottage (C1901), has been lovingly renovated and extended over many years and now boasts 7 generous main rooms, including 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (inc. 2 ensuites and spa) 2 large separate living areas, dining room and fully modernized 2005 kitchen. Additionally the home has an in-ground salt water swimming pool, spacious, tranquil rear paved courtyard and garden together with an attached automatic entry 2 vehicle carport with direct access to the home.
The ambience throughout this open, light-filled home is enhanced by the high ceilings, ornate cornices, ceiling roses, lead-lighting and comfortable neutral décor.
The two separate living areas are at either end of the house and the rear family room opens onto the courtyard and garden.
Of the 3 bedrooms, two are en-suite and all have built-in floor-to-ceiling wardrobes. The main bedroom offers views to the rear garden.
The two bathrooms include one with shower and a separate spa annex and the other, which services the master bedroom and is 2-way, has a bath and shower.
The fully modernised 2005 kitchen has all stainless steel European appliances and granite composite benchtops and splash-backs. There is a servery between the kitchen and dining room, and the dining room, along with other features has a built-in wine storage cabinet with space for 150 bottles!
Other features of this unique home are the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves (they can be easily removed if necessary) which extend the full length of the wide main passage and the enormous amount of storage space which includes a full room in the attic.
As you would expect in such a home, there is an automatic alarm security system and a security "Look-C" video/speaker system at the entry gate connected to a monitor in the house. Remote controlled vehicle entry, ducted evaporative air-conditioning, gas heating and built-in reverse cycle air conditioning in the main bedroom are also present.
The glass-enclosed front sun-porch overlooks the extremely private front garden with its in-ground salt water swimming pool and dramatic lighting effects at night, and an automatic sprinkler system services the secluded rear garden / courtyard which also includes a fish pond, trees and additional special lighting.
In summary a much-loved comfortable, compact yet surprisingly spacious home. Well located near public transport and shops, and, within walking distance of the parklands, Universities, North Adelaide restaurants and the Adelaide CBD.
Ideal for singles or couples who are wishing to downsize without compromise. Academics and teachers may find this property particularly appealing.
Nothing to do but move in and enjoy!!
