Last Listing description (March 2008)

Love At First Sight!
It will take less than a second to fall in love with this oh so appealing three-bedroom symmetrical villa set on 575 sqm of sublime gardens in a picture perfect streetscape of similar 1900's vintage.
Stepping from the freshly tessellated veranda into the central hallway, take a minute to admire the pretty leadlight around the front door, decorative archway and polished timber floors that are a highlight of this gorgeous home.

There is something very pleasing about the floor plan; the way the first four rooms pair off the hallway. All beautifully proportioned with high ornate ceilings and attractive period fireplaces, they too provide a wealth of character charm and offer flexible living and entertaining options to suit a range of buyers.
Presently arranged as three generous double bedrooms and a charming sitting room, the front two rooms further enjoy a pretty garden outlook through twin sash windows.
At the rear, the original floor plan has been imaginatively opened up to provide an interactive kitchen/dining area with French door access to a superb all-weather entertaining terrace overlooking the picturesque backyard.
The white two-pack kitchen has recently been updated with new square profile counters incorporating a breakfast bar and offers European stainless steel cooking appliances and a great range of storage including a corner pantry and microwave hutch.
Other recent upgrades include the family bathroom which has been transformed from utilitarian to ultra stylish and the laundry which now features premium built-in storage and a ceramic tiled floor.
Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning and a security alarm are bonus extras of this lovely home that is also freshly decorated in subtle modern neutrals throughout.
Classically inspired, the surrounding gardens are truly a work of art and are easy to maintain with the aide of an auto watering system. Children will love the timber cubby and velvety lawn that nestle under the canopy of a mature Claret Ash.
Off-street parking for at least three vehicles is provided in the gated side driveway leading to a double iron garage with water and power, making it ideal as a workshop.
Just minutes to the CBD and walking distance to Goodwood road precinct and Growers Market, this gorgeous home will steal your heart and is a fantastic opportunity for couples and young families to get a foothold in this fashionable and tightly held neighbourhood.
