Imagine coming home from work in under 10 minutes from the CBD, pulling into the drive of your character 1890's villa with its high ceilings, Baltic timber floorboards, fireplaces and open plan extension; you call the kids and head across the road to the park for a kick of the ball and play on the swing until the suns sets and it's time to head inside and relax for the evening. Saturdays are spent with a morning stroll around the corner to the local Seven Grounds Café, whilst Sundays after your morning walk or ride you can opt for the iconic Hawker Street Café and one of their delicious vanilla slices or baklavas. Life at 16 Thirteenth Street, Bowden is truly something special. In one of the most prestigious pockets of Bowden in a character 1890 Cottage with beautiful open plan extension and all opposite the perfect playground for the kids and grandchildren, this is one you won't want to miss. In a location that has become one of the most desirable and fashionable suburbs in Adelaide with its proximity to parklands, bike paths, public transport, exceptional schools including Adelaide High and Botanic High School, as well as some of the best restaurants, cafes and markets Adelaide has to offer with Plant 4 and Bloom just around the corner, this is the one you've been waiting for. Enjoy the benefits of the design, features and craftmanship of a bi-gone era, including beautiful 12-foot ceilings, spacious bedrooms all with built-in robes, open wood fire place, high skirtings, Baltic polished timber floors and ornate cornices whilst having the best of both worlds with the comforts and functionality of the modern extension including updated open plan kitchen and family room, renovated modern bathroom with separate bath, shower and adjacent toilet, gas log fire place, evaporative cooling, gas space heating, separate large dining or second living, huge fully paved gabled roof alfresco and outdoor entertaining area as well as off-street parking for up to three cars including the extra length single garage. Now, if you love cooking and entertaining like I do, then this kitchen is really going to please. Great bench space, plenty of storage and cupboards, but most importantly a very recently installed four burner gas cooktop, stainless steel oven and rangehood all make the daily cook up or entertaining with a dinner party an absolute joy. The dishwasher makes cleaning up a breeze and with the open plan family room you need never miss out on the action or conversation. The main bathroom boasts a new extra-large frameless shower, updated vanity, huge bath for really relaxing in after a long bike ride or day at the office, floor to ceiling tiling and temperature control, so you don't have to worry about the water being too hot. Of course in Adelaide we love to entertain outside from at least October to April, if not the winter months as well, and your new home definitely has this covered, excuse the pun. But honestly the pergola is a huge light and airy fully undercover area for year-round parties, dinners or simply enjoying our beautiful weather. Things we love and think you will too: • Zoned for Botanic and Adelaide High School • Vulcan gas heater in family room • Gas fireplace in dining room • Evaporative cooling • New Omega appliances (oven and cooktop) • Open fireplace • Garden shed • Rainwater tank • Garage with automatic roller door and adjacent driveway with gate • Irrigation system for garden • Rear land for further shedding, car parking, storage or garden In one family for over 17 years what an opportunity to invest into a home that has stood the test time, oozes with character and charm and yet provides the comfort and conveniences our modern day lifestyles have become accustomed to. It's our great pleasure to bring 16 Thirteenth Street, Bowden the to the market and we can't wait to show you through.
