Description
This is Location and Position Perfect.
Come and live within city limits and equidistant to just about everything! In every direction you are connected – getting to the beach and city is easy, Pasadena and Mitcham shopping complexes are close, the all new Tonsley Hotel is on the way up, Flinders University and Hospital are a quick bus ride, while the café-culture of Goodwood, Unley and Hyde Park is just 7-minutes away!
With memories of the old drive-in theatre at the end of the street, 9 Tafquin Street has been home to one family since 1961. Today, enjoy the benefits of the nearby C.C. Hood Reserve where it’s hard to believe that this is urban Adelaide, while getting in and out of this house-proud enclave enroute to the city and beach is quick and easy.
Deceptively spacious with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, this is a home that presents well with original features and invites the opportunity to introduce your own ideas over time and really make it your own. The seller has given a wonderful head-start with fresh paint throughout, new lighting, and polished timber floors that look great! Think of moving in, getting to know your place, and having fun … Creating Home.
The land is 750sqm with a delightful frontage and a good size backyard environment. A concrete drive provides simple flat access to a double carport and handy access to a garage-work-shed, there is an outdoor barbeque-entertaining area, open gardens with abundant potential – it feels private and welcomes the warm winter sun, while a detached studio-retreat in the back corner is a real winner!
The original solid brick home was extended in the 80’s to create a new main bedroom, walk-in robe and ensuite. It has split-system air-conditioning, high raked ceilings and access out to the alfresco. For the buyer not needing all four bedrooms – this extra room provides a versatile use of the remaining three bedrooms, the size of this room also invites the idea of using it as a second living area!
Circa 1961 – the front portico opens to a formal entry where a classic cedar-panelled partition wall separates the entry from the main living areas and brings a sense of warmth and character – the subtle use of cedar is very much a feature of the 60’s contemporary. It’s very cool!
The lounge and dining areas welcome the north winter sun. A combined open-plan space where you can just imagine setting up with your own furniture, art and plants. The polished timber floors are finished with an environment friendly satin finish – they really are a highlight and contrast in a beautiful way with clean white walls & ceilings and that cedar wall.
The separate kitchen is making a comeback! This one is classic 80’s, it needs a new oven, but it all works fine with good storage and bench areas. The kitchen looks out to a protected side yard and new fence-line that could be the perfect spot for the herb garden and potted greenery. In time, this kitchen could very simply, be opened to the adjacent dining area – think of a cool galley-style kitchen and give it that contemporary edge!
Off the hallway and private from the main living areas at the front of the home are three bedrooms, the main retro-style bathroom, the laundry and ideally a separate toilet.
For year-round comfort there are two reverse cycle split air conditioning units, and PV system on the roof.
Within city-limits, 9 Tafquin Street offers buyers a very affordable sanctuary, a safe and peaceful place where you can really settle down and with eyes to the future – create a home just for you and at the same time create a brilliant investment in your future.
Go for it and Make it Yours.
