2 Gilbert St, Norwood SA 5067, Australia

Instantly appealing and beautifully positioned with its picket fence presence out front and all the lifestyle advantages of near-City living, this 1920s single-fronted, two bedroom cottage is loaded with character from its charismatic façade to its charming interiors.

 

With a cosy gas fireplace creating a warming ambience, the front lounge welcomes us into a space with light-catching leadlight and where soaring ceilings are anchored by warm, polished baltic pine floors flowing down the passage into a carpeted double bedroom with built-in robes.

 

Right at the heart, the spacious, skylit eat-in kitchen with abundant white cabinetry and rich contrasting timber benchtops, stars a central mantel with former woodburning stove alcove, an exposed brick wall, split system air conditioner and ceiling fan. This leads into a separate dining room where larger scale or intimate entertaining is effortless. Light streams through northern and southern windows book-ending the room and both opening through glazed doors onto a small front courtyard, plus an additional covered courtyard with built-in bench seating. A cheeky space to spill outside for some air, or curl up with a book.

 

Enjoying peace and privacy, the pristine master bedroom situated at the rear, captures beautiful natural light through the dual aspect windows with an outlook onto gorgeous garden aspects.

 

The bathroom is heritage style with bath, overhead shower and w.c., and the laundry opens out to a beautiful and private rear garden sanctuary with lawn backdropped by greenery and paved areas with room to dine, relax and play.
