Property Features
Enter from the side in Gover Place west, and you will feel right at home in this unique example of local heritage in North Adelaide which has only ever had two owners. Original owners built this cottage circa 1880. Take note of the original letterbox / door-knocker. There is a great opportunity to add fantastic value and achieve potential future income by extending into the very large back yard. There is a lapsed Council approved planning for a three bedroom, two- storey extension. Vacant land in North Adelaide now selling for approx $2,000.00 sq metre. Current owner has fully restored, and modernized this home, while maintaining its character – completely gutted and re-born with installation of new wiring, instant gas hot water, plumbing, fully ducted air conditioning and roof fully insulated. Internal walls re-built with new bricks, new floors & ceilings where required and hard plastered finish throughout. Front of house re-pointed and new timbers restored the verandah, courtyard brick paved and a double carport built at rear. Outside walls of house recently rendered and painted. (Rendering and painting of back wall to be completed). A stunning two-way internal bathroom with separate shower and two person spa bath was created (the bathroom and toilet were outside) along with a walk in robe. A brand new kitchen recently installed complete with quality appliances of dishwasher, washing machine and new ceramic induction hotplate and oven. Owner has run a business from this convenient location until last year and it is now let as short term fully furnished accommodation with all modern conveniences at approx $700 a week. The carpeted lounge room opens through original French-doors to the north-facing courtyard. 
Long hallway with polished timber floors leads past bedroom and bathroom to eat in kitchen and outdoor entertaining under the gazebo. The large garden with very fertile soil boasts a hundred year old grape vine and has been used thus far to grow vegetables until the extension is done. There are lemon, apple and peacharine trees, near the secure double carport with auto roller door and lock up shed. The house has a security alarm system, security screen front door to courtyard, rain-water tank and new blinds. This property has stood the test of time and as it stands, is ideal for a single executive or couple wanting to be near Adelaide's action with close proximity to all facilities however with extension, would be amazing!
