Perfectly positioned in one of Adelaide's most tightly held coastal suburbs, this charming 1950's double brick residence presents an exciting opportunity for first home buyers, downsizers or young families seeking an affordable foothold into the ever-popular Glengowrie market. Privately nestled behind attractive fencing and offering secure off-street parking, the home combines character, comfort and convenience in an easy-care setting. Offering a surprisingly spacious floorplan the accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance and flows through to three well-proportioned bedrooms. The quaint, yet updated, central bathroom services the home well while the renovated gas kitchen is both functional and stylish featuring stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, gas hotplates and excellent storage options. Adjoining the kitchen is a casual dining area perfectly suited to everyday family living. The front formal lounge room provides a comfortable place to relax while the versatile rear rumpus/sunroom adds valuable extra living space and could easily serve as a second family area, children's retreat, home office or hobby room. Completing the layout is the original laundry and separate toilet for added practicality. Character features such as attractive Baltic Pine floorboards blend with modern comforts including ducted evaporative cooling, Rinnai gas heating, an upright Vulcan gas heater, instant gas hot water and ceiling fans throughout. White timber venetian blinds enhance the home's warmth while roller shutters provide added privacy, security and noise reduction. Step outside to a superb, pitched roof pergola with a generous paved undercover entertaining area, ideal for year-round gatherings with family and friends.
