Auction Sat, 1st Aug - 10am (USP)A short amble from the city and set within the prized Glenunga International High School zone, this single-fronted stone cottage makes beautiful use of its long plot, giving downsizers, professionals and first home buyers a rare mix of space, simplicity and position.With that elongated parcel comes two equally spacious bedrooms, a light-filled central lounge room and a rear family room addition that bridges the gap between the modern kitchen and a paved rear patio itching for summer dinners when you haven't got a reservation on Unley Road. No car needed. Add prolific off-street parking, loads of storage, electronic gated entry, ducted ac, polished Baltic pine floors, lofty ceilings and a stone fronted facade and you have a timeless home primed for the modern city-fringe lifestyle. Just lock up and love it. Open the Door To: A deceptively generous footprint that stretches well beyond the cottage itself, giving you a deep rear yard, paved entertaining space, storage and genuine off-street parking Two oversized front bedrooms, each with built-in storage, lofty ceilings and polished Baltic pine floors that keep the original section warm, useful and full of character A central lounge room that gives the floor plan its old-world heart, complete with timber floors, high skirtings, fireplace detail and a natural separation from the rear living zone A second living zone at the back, opening the home up where it matters most with room to dine, cook, gather and spill outside A crisp white kitchen with stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, dishwasher, wide windows and plenty of bench space for everyday meals or pre-dinner drinks A rear bathroom and laundry zone that keep the practical parts of the home tucked away, supported by built-in storage and easy garden access A paved rear patio with a pergola overhead, made for low-effort entertaining rather than high-maintenance weekends A deep driveway behind electronic gates, giving this character cottage the parking freedom many city-fringe homes simply don't have A rear shed and extra storage options, adding real function to a home that already makes smart use of its long allotment Ducted air conditioning, downlights and updated rear spaces, bringing a more modern level of comfort to its 1890s bonesAnd Parkside does the rest in a way few city-fringe suburbs can; walk north for the parklands, Central Market and CBD, drift west for Unley Road's cafes, restaurants and King William's boutiques or head east to Burnside Village and the hills beyond. From here, dinner, work, school, coffee, shopping and weekend green space all sit in the same easy radius, turning a classic cottage into a genuinely useful base for a life lived more on foot than behind the wheel.CT - 5223/18Council - City of UnleyZoning - EN - Established NeighbourhoodYear Built - 1890Land Size - 301m approx.Total Build Area - 128m approx.
