Last Listing description (September 2020)
Whether it's a late bite down Unley Road, a catch-up on Hutt, a morning jog through the South Park Lands, or a 2.5km sprint to the city, there's little that competes with Parkside
Only a fully renovated c1890 3-bedroom villa bursting with exquisite charm from the get-go can do that. One with character fencing, a tessellated verandah, leadlight details, off-street parking, and an exterior wash of brilliant white successfully carried forward throughout.
Inside, polished boards, decorative timber fireplaces, high villa ceilings, quintessential hall arch and picture rails complete a satisfying yet simple floorplan for the investor, couple, or professional with places to be
Coaxed by its combustion fire, the central living and meals is clearly one of them. A landing spot that stretches out for TV, entertains with dining space, cools with a split system, and calls on the kitchen next door for supplies.
Basic yet beautifully presented, the refurbished kitchen covers the necessities with a stainless dishwasher, freestanding electric stove, and upgraded cabinetry but in all honesty, this is the neck of town for dining out
Whether that's a BBQ outdoors in the courtyard with hedged privacy, a small lawn, and a paved open alfresco easily entertaining 20 at home as per current Covid-19 rules there's ample space to socially distance.
The main bathroom with its clawfoot shower/bath breaks its white tradition with heritage tiles, streams sunlight through its crimson leadlight, and keeps its function totally timeless.
And the lap of the city fringe shoulders such delights as Ginza Japanese on Unley Road, Haigh's on Greenhill, and the legendary The Earl of Leicester Hotel, leaving the best (and closest) Whistle and Flute for brunch or a brew, till last.
Such beauty also brings sought-after family bonuses with zoning to Parkside Primary and Glenunga International High Schools; settle in, this character villa is a sparkling gem to call home for the long haul.
