Last Listing description (February 2023)

Solid, stately and brimming with charisma - it's incredibly easy to fall for 54 First Avenue. On the market for the first time in three decades, this 1910 villa offers a spacious floor plan, immaculately maintained fixtures and endless potential to update further, all while radiating heritage charm nestled in amongst other elegant homes in tightly-held Forestville.

A grand symmetrical frontage with wide veranda emanates street appeal, while the electric gate and double driveway provide both security and practicality. Enter to wide central hallway, where soaring ceilings, polished floorboards, and rarely seen double archways set the tone for the genuine federation features carried throughout.

Two generous front bedrooms are poised overlooking the front yard, while a main bedroom suite is deftly serviced by private ensuite with shower and wide vanity. A convenient connecting room contributes additional customisability, easily adaptable as a walk-in robe, office, or nursery as required. A spacious family bathroom is fully equipped with corner spa bath, equally capable of hosting the morning rush, sumptuous evening soaks and family bath times alike.

The southern wing comprises connected lounge and dining rooms, with further light-filled living space delivered by an extensive rear living area, with expansive windows overlooking the back yard. Whether you're seeking room for a home workspace, playroom, teenagers retreat, or rumpus room, there's copious space for your bespoke configuration.

A sleek kitchen is neatly tucked aside, providing ample cupboard and bench space, tiled splashback, and corner pantry. Whether you're an award-winning masterchef or a burgeoning culinary dabbler, the set-up is certain to please passionate home cooks of all capabilities.

A wide rear veranda overlooks an expansive backyard, making it easy to enjoy those summer backyard cricket tournaments or cartwheel practice. A vast powered rear garage comfortably fits two vehicles, with additional space to spare, presenting limitless adaptability as a man cave or she-shed, while driveway access also makes it the perfect home workshop for mechanics or the perfect storage solution for caravans and boats.

Forestville offers enviable positioning between the city and the sea, with less than 15 minutes' drive in either direction delivering you to the CBD or the beach, while proximity to the Forestville Tram Stop makes it easy to leave the car at home for the morning commute or weekends sun-seeking at Glenelg. A quick walk finds you at neighbourhood caf Dear Daisy for your morning caffeine hit or a long brunch, while Forestville Reserve, Unley Swimming Centre and Goodwood Oval are also easily accessible on foot. Nearby Cumberland Park and Kurralta Park Shopping Centres offer numerous amenities and specialty shops, along with further shopping and fine dining along Goodwood Road Shopping Precinct, while the Capri Theatre is a short jaunt away for all your cinematic needs.
