A standalone cottage wrapped in stone and promise

Stone-fronted, symmetrical, and standalone, this circa 1900 cottage is every bit the city-fringe charmer - but don't mistake charm for limitation. Behind that tidy facade is a tightly-held home with its best days still ahead. Sure, it's cute. Really cute. But behind the stone facings and lacework trim is a home that lives far larger than its compact street presence suggests. Baltic pine boards stretch underfoot, decorative ceilings soar above, and the ornate fireplace stands its ground in a central lounge that's all warmth and welcome - a natural divide between the two generous bedrooms and the rear of the home. The kitchen lives in a classic lean-to - humble, light-filled, and surprisingly spacious. It works, it always has. But it's also itching for a value-adding reboot. Those with bigger plans, go all out with a rear addition that turns garden into gallery, dials up the glazing, and reshapes the rhythm of the entire home. The rear laneway access to a secure carport only sweetens the deal in this city-fringe pocket that's long been admired for its character and connectivity - just steps from the train and moments to the buzz of Goodwood Road and King William's best. In a suburb where cottages like this rarely change hands, this one gives you the past, present and future - all wrapped up in sandstone and possibility. - Freestanding, stone-fronted symmetrical cottage (circa 1900) - Two generous bedrooms with high ceilings - Classic lean-to kitchen with garden outlook - Scope for a contemporary rear extension (STCC) - Private, established rear garden - Secure carport via rear laneway access - Valuable city-fringe landholding in tightly-held suburb - Just 2.5km (approx.) from the Adelaide CBD - A short walk to Forestville Train Station and tram stop - Minutes to King William and Goodwood Road dining and retail precincts - Zoned for Adelaide and Adelaide Botanic High Schools - Easy access to bikeways and walking trails along the nearby Linear Park - Close to Goodwood Oval, Unley Swimming Centre, and local parks - Community-minded neighbourhood with a mix of heritage homes and modern infill - Quick access to the South Road corridor for broader connectivity Certificate of Title - 5262/820 Council – Unley Zoning - Established Neighbourhood Year Built - 1900 Total Build area - 125sqm (approx) Council Rates - $1,032.65pa (approx) SA Water Rates - tbc Emergency Services Levy – $128.15pa (approx) Strata Admin Fee - $619pq All information or material provided has been obtained from third party sources and, as such, we cannot guarantee that the information or material is accurate.
