1/34 Dover Street

Maylands SA 5069

Assuming the front position of a small Maylands complex, this 1973 unit pairs a two-toned facade with an interior that has kept its better period detail work intact, with some charming upgrades that have brought brightness and lightness to a coveted East-Adelaide postcode.Inside, the original character pulls its weight. Hardwood timber floors run through the open-plan living and dining zone, the original cornices stay overhead, and a modern Panasonic split system handles the climate. The look is light, fresh and quietly contemporary all at once.The kitchen sits to one side with cream cabinetry, a U-shaped benchtop and a stainless steel Lofra gas stove and oven slotted under a stainless rangehood. Around the corner, the bathroom holds back the era's better moves: embossed White wall tiles, mosaic tiled floor, a brass-framed shower screen and a built-in bath, intact and quietly distinctive.Two carpeted bedrooms sit along one side of the unit, each fitted with a ceiling fan and the master adding large built-in robes.Beyond the kitchen, a screened courtyard wraps a paved patio in a lattice privacy screens, roomy enough for a small table with a trio of small storage sheds.Step out the front and the address gets to work. The Maylands Hotel and its adjacent park sit just around the corner, Marden Shopping Centre handles the weekly grocery run, and Norwood Parade is a short trip away for everything else.For a first-home buyer, a single or a young couple, 1/34 Dover Street is a low-maintenance ticket into one of Adelaide's most likeable inner-east pockets.Additional Features:- Quiet community living- 2.4kW solar panel system- Single carport with automatic roller door- Brush-fenced entry off Dover Street with brick-paved shared driveway- Diamond-grille security screens to front and rear windows- Burgundy striped awnings to the front windows- Laundry with external access- Ceiling fan in the living room- Nearby schools include: Pembroke School, Norwood Morialta High School, St Peters College, Mary MacKillop College, Marryatville High School, St Ignatius College Junior School, Loreto College, St Josephs School, East Adelaide School, Norwood Primary School
