Unley SA 5061

Auction Sat, 16th May - 11.30am (USP)Poised on 900sqm between cosmopolitan Unley and King William Roads, this is your beautifully-placed chance to expand an enduring original character home into something special within a stroll of the CBD. A recent refresh ensures the big, airy rooms and sweeping hall of the original villa sit in a neat, eminently liveable state, while its gloriously retro kitchen and timber-lined rear living zone remind you this tightly-held home is ready for a bold rear addition worthy of its blue chip position. Open the Door To: A tightly held sandstone-fronted villa on some 900sqm, giving character-home buyers the rare chance to live comfortably now and plan a substantial rear addition in one of Adelaide's most tightly held inner-south pockets Preserved original features, including a sweeping hallway, hall arch, leadlight windows, tessellated tile verandah and soaring 3.5m ceilings Three broad original bedrooms, lounge room/4th bedroom and a rear siting room wrapped in mid-century style timber panelling and garden views, all part of a very flexible existing plan A neat recent refresh that leaves the home eminently liveable from day one A gloriously retro 1960s eat-in kitchen A separate storage room that adds another practical layer to a floorplan already richer in utility than many original villas An underground cellar A huge rear yard with the depth to accommodate a meaningful extension and pool A large shed with pit and prized rear access, bringing genuine workshop, storage and vehicle flexibility to a blue-chip city-fringe parcelClose the Door On: Paying top dollar for someone else's extension choices; here, the original home is comfortable and refreshed, but the best move still belongs to the next owner Character homes that look the part but leave no room to grow; this one keeps its gracious original proportions and still reserves a huge rear yard for a bold next chapter Tight floorplans with nowhere to store, tinker or park; the separate storage room, underground cellar, large shed with pit and rear access make this a far more useful holding than the average villaA stroll in one direction lands you on King William Road's boutiques, dining and cafe culture, while the other opens up Unley Road's bigger retail offering, supermarkets and service hubs, all within a few minutes of the Adelaide CBD. It is this combination of blue-chip housing, genuine walkability and unusually strong local infrastructure, including well-established walking and bike routes, that keeps Unley firmly in Adelaide's top tier.
