Best Offers By | Tuesday 20th October @3pm
Rich in character and commanding an impressive presence in one of Mile End's most desirable pockets, 49 Cuming Street presents a substantial circa 1910 return verandah villa where timeless architectural charm meets generous family proportions, remarkable versatility and exciting potential for the future.
Set across an impressive 848sqm allotment (approx.), the home beautifully combines the grandeur of its original villa with a substantial rear extension, creating an expansive family residence equally suited to everyday living, entertaining and those seeking the opportunity to further enhance an already impressive character home.
From the street, the home's grand return verandah and traditional character fa�ade establish an immediate sense of presence and distinction. Beyond the entrance, the scale and elegance of the original residence unfold through generously proportioned rooms, high ceilings and beautiful character detailing, capturing the warmth, refinement and craftsmanship synonymous with Adelaide's finest period homes.
A defining feature of the residence is its highly versatile floorplan. Offering the flexibility of up to five bedrooms, the home can just as easily be configured as four bedrooms with two separate living areas, or 3 bedrooms with an additional formal dining - allowing the layout to evolve effortlessly with the needs of its occupants. Whether accommodating a growing family, creating an elegant formal lounge, home office or additional retreat, the home's generous proportions provide exceptional freedom both now and into the future.
The substantial rear extension introduces a more relaxed dimension to the original villa, creating additional living and entertaining spaces designed for modern family life. The kitchen forms a practical central hub with ample cabinetry and preparation space, connecting naturally with the adjoining living and dining areas and providing an inviting environment for both casual family gatherings and larger-scale entertaining.
Two bathrooms service the residence, while the combination of original character rooms and the extended footprint provides an outstanding foundation for the home's next chapter. Comfortable and immediately liveable, there remains considerable scope to refine or further enhance the residence (STPC), allowing the next owner to introduce their own vision while celebrating the home's beautiful period architecture.
Outdoors, the scale of the 848sqm allotment (approx.) becomes immediately apparent. A substantial covered entertaining area provides an inviting setting for year-round gatherings, opening to an expansive rear garden.
Adding another layer of versatility is the separate rear studio with mezzanine, providing valuable additional space away from the main residence. Ideal as a creative studio, home office, retreat or hobby space, it is complemented by a pergola and workshop/shed area, while a solar panel system adds further practicality.
The location is equally impressive. Perfectly positioned in one of Mile End's most sought-after pockets, the home enjoys exceptional inner-west convenience just moments from the Adelaide CBD. Vibrant caf�s, restaurants, local shopping, parks and public transport are all within easy reach, while nearby Henley Beach Road provides effortless connectivity between the city and Adelaide's celebrated western coastline. Adding significant appeal for families, is the prize school zoning for Adelaide High School and Adelaide Botanic High School.
