Superbly situated in a heritage precinct of this peaceful pocket and capturing the essence of single level living with elegance and ease, this enchanting 3-bedroom,1890s character cottage is impeccably presented in gorgeous courtyard garden settings with the convenience of Prospect and North Adelaide precincts on the doorstep.
Private and secure behind the impressive gated front fence, lush greenery welcomes and the delightful front verandah beckons inside to a leadlight entry hall where high ceilings with deep cornices accentuate refined character details such as decorative ceiling roses and open fireplaces.
A pair of generous bedrooms boast classic plantation shutters and beautiful open fireplaces - the front main bedroom is carpeted and fitted with built-in robes and ceiling fan. The second bedroom offers the warmth of original timber flooring, while the maroon feature wall framing the fireplace, introduces the drama.
The elegant central lounge room is kept cosy and warm by the stunning open fireplace and flows into the heart of this charming home - the light-filled, north-facing meals, living and kitchen domain. A split system air conditioner ensures year-round comfort in this inviting space. Walls with wainscoting style and light-capturing windows frame this domain spilling through French doors to a secluded entertainment courtyard where the soaring overhead curved awning creates shade and an outdoor room in the sun-dappled courtyard, with the manicured garden beds creating the perfect backdrop to an alfresco lifestyle - a lovely space to relax, dine and entertain.
Sleek granite in the updated kitchen stretches across the breakfast bar to the wrap-around benchtop alongside cream cabinetry with pantry and Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawer.
Located at the rear of the home, the gracious formal dining room also features French doors stepping out to the courtyard, and would be an ideal option as a third bedroom.
The very sleek bathroom/Euro laundry has been fully renovated and the glossy, broad-format tiled flooring offsets the modern floating vanity, bath, walk-in shower and w.c.
