Auction Location: on siteGet ready to roll up your sleeves and transform this sensational, original 1890 Bluestone villa on a corner block offering unlimited potential to renovate and extend to suit a 2024 lifestyle.The house across the road sold recently for $2.5m just to give you an idea of neighhbourhood prices and this property has pedigree bones - gorgeous bluestone on three sides, high ornate ceilings and an elegant, wide arched hallway down the centre of the original and classic villa layout.Boasting a 16.76 m (approx) frontage and sited on the front part of the 613 sqm block (approx), there is plenty of depth for an extension, perhaps a pool and pergola as well as two sets of side access gates to house a stable of cars. The front sitting room includes a marble fire surround, split system air conditioner and gas heater. The current owner used the bedroom on the other side of the hall at the front of the house and there are a further two bedrooms behind. There are ceiling fans in the main bedroom and one other bedroom. It would be possible to end up with four or five bedrooms in the original villa and then extend with a new kitchen, bathrooms and family/living at the rear.In the existing layout, the kitchen and dining room are part of the original home and part of the hall was removed so that the kitchen opens into the dining room.The kitchen is modern and includes a raised gas hotplate and oven and space for side by side fridges.A rear solid brick extension includes a laundry, bathroom, utility room. A shower room, accessed externally was only completed this year.The owner has lived here for most of her life and enjoyed barbeques with her family so there is a mains gas connection on the rear patio which was also used to house the family caravan.A set of gates from Fox Street enabled easy access for the caravan to be reversed into place. Further along Fox Street gates lead into a deep garage and workshop. This home is filled with happy family memories and is offered for the first time in many, many years. There are two large water tanks that include pumps that filter the water for domestic use inside the home and also provide water for the garden.Halfway between cosmopolitan King William Road and Goodwood Road shopping precincts, city bound bus routes and close enough to the Royal Adelaide Showgrounds to hear the fireworks, don't miss what is likely to be the last opportunity in 2023 to own a piece of Adelaide's history.AUCTION: Tuesday, 19th December at 6pm, on site (USP) - CONTRACTED AT AUCTIONCT: Volume 5806 Folio 858Council: City of UnleyCouncil Rates: $2,388.95 per annum (approx)SA Water: $277.59 per quarter (approx)Land size: 613 sqm (approx)Year Built: 1890To Pre-register for Auction or to make an offer if applicablehttps://prop.ps/l/wxQgm9ydC4he(Please copy and paste the link into your browser)LJ Hooker Kensington | Unley provide a service called Auction Pay which allows you to pay your deposit online, on the spot at Auction, rather than having the hassle of arranging payment by cheque.
