Extracting substring between pattern only one time

Hello

ifconfig return :

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 11:24:1D:C1:99:BA
inet addr:192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0

RX bytes:20420 (19.9 Kb) TX bytes:20420 (19.9 Kb)

I would like somethings like

Code:
ADRESSE=$(ifconfig | sed -n '/addr:/,/Bcast:/p')
echo $ADRESSE
192.168.0.1

Help would be appreciated
