22 James St, Thebarton is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom House with 3 parking spaces and was built in 1915. The property has a land size of 687m2 and floor size of 111m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in September 2018.
From Google Maps it's promising in the flesh, it's downright exciting. With its no-excuse proximity to concerts, cafes and city-edge benefits (like the free tram), rolling your sleeves up for this three-bedroom, C1915 villa will be worth your while
Leave alone its Terrazzo verandah, stone faade, Baltic boards, high skirtings and 3.3m ceilings highly regarded fixtures on the renovator's list or pay yourself rental dividends in a premier pocket close to town.
Three airy bedrooms branch off a central hallway and meet an equally generous living room with fireplace. To the rear, Deco curves flatter the galley kitchen lean-to (with a hint of groove about it) made functional with loads of bench space, a new electric stove plus a rambling garden view.
And with a cosmopolitan array of dining choices on your doorstep from Henley Beach and Port Roads to Plant4 Bowden and nearby North Adelaide suddenly doing up the Deco kitchen isn't all that necessary.
Alas, the abutting sleepout has nodded off for about 50 years, so too the baby blue bathroom but this will only spark joy for renovators where excess floorspace ahead of a separate toilet sees its future as a family laundry
In fact, the whole back end could see a substantial new life unfold there are square metres galore simply raring to go (STCC.)
A concrete paved patio covered with ancient vines, a two-room dorm-style shed with louvred windows (perhaps a ventilated studio in time?) and further back, flourishing citrus, camellias and birds of paradise show the richness of the soil.
As if an original villa in the frenzy of Thebarton wasn't sought-after enough, throw valuable off-street parking in the mix hosting a rear carport with roller door two cars deep and a fully-fenced driveway for six.
So, don't be daunted - be inspired. The faint-hearted never find city-fringe gold like this.
