If there’s any hope left of nabbing a near-city character home with cafes and retail at arm’s length and entertaining talent in a family-ready backyard, it might just be here 2 quiet blocks from popular Henley Beach Road…
Presented to excite any young couple with its instant chic and scope to extend, this 3-bedroom double brick bungalow wows with a quirky barn-style entertainer’s rear studio and bar behind garden-viewing bi-fold glass.
Adjoining storerooms qualify as garden shedding in a neat backyard giving the green light for that one-day lifestyle addition (STCC.)
Right now, the stone-fronted home enters to renovated interiors, warm timber floors, sunlit leadlight windows, lofty ceilings, and 2 double bedrooms with mirrored and galvanized sliding robes.
The main living room keeps its character intact with a brick fireplace memoir in rustic contrast to its cool modern palette; the kitchen remodel with stainless benchtops, a 5-burner gas cooktop, stainless dishwasher, and double ovens takes the stress out of instant entertaining.
As does that air-conditioned backyard bar - a zone that eats, dines, and lounges with a casual vibe and indoor/outdoor flow collaborating with its all-seasons counterpart, the undercover rear deck, exploiting summer’s daylight-saving hours.
There’s an obvious theme at play – quirk – from the sunroom, home-office or 3rd bedroom hybrid to the main bathroom mixing vintage charm with liveable functionality, a separate toilet with 2-way access to the rear deck, and the scope to rewrite later.
All of it leaves little doubt, this Wilton wonder is one valuable foot into the inner-west’s wanted market door…
