Occupying a grand position on the high side of the street, and espousing the perfect family lifestyle, with proximity to prestigious Eastern suburbs schools and a handy commute of just 10 minutes into Adelaide's CBD, this much loved family home (a Return Verandah Villa c 1910)has been held proudly by the current owner, for close to 50 years. Villas are traditionally the most popular style of character homes in Adelaide, and combine this with the impressive landholding of 1,170sqm (approx), and here is one genuinely rare offering which is bound to be received with a great sense of urgency and excitement by an astute market. This beautiful old lady has stood the test of time, but oh yes, she needs some love and care now, and some hard work to bring her up to a level befitting the address and surrounds. Good bones? Outstanding! With a central hallway, and 3 large bedrooms branching from it, it's a universally popular design. The return verandah adds a grandiose flourish, and the beautiful formal dining room is a nod to times past…if only the walls could talk! Showcasing a number of revered character features such as original fireplace surrounds, lead light and pressed metal ceilings (in the master bedroom and formal lounge), are you up for the challenge which presents itself? You'll also find a functional kitchen and bathroom, and a second toilet. An expansive sunroom at the rear houses a laundry, separate study area, and plenty of storage room. Of course, maybe this is your dream location but not your dream home. What a superb landholding of 1,170sqm (approx), with an appealing frontage of around 21.34m (approx)- the perfect site for your dream home or investment opportunity (STCC). A stone's throw from Pembroke School, and zoned for Norwood Morialta High School, with Marryatville Shopping Centre, and Norwood Parade close by. It's rare, for sure....if you find the hen, tell it we've found it's tooth.
