There's no up-sell required in cosmopolitan North Adelaide. And there's never been more potential attached to a circa 1880 stone cottage on the fringe of Wellington Square, Jeffcott Street and the ever-popular Flying Fig Café.
Offered to the market for the first time in over 50 years, there are no airs or graces here – just an honest cottage presenting exciting potential within a solid 146-year-old shell. (subject to all necessary planning consents).
With rear lane access to a dual carport, its backyard ramble whispers of what could become a private entertainer's courtyard, bound by storied stone walls. Add the right architectural vision and it could be a proud restoration (subject to all necessary planning consents) – just a short walk to St. Dominic's Priory College.
Extended over time across an approximate 417sqm (on 2 Titles) Torrens Title parcel, the home leads with a central hallway, lofty ceilings, three large flexible bedrooms and a mix of period character and 1970s interventions.
The original details still speak loudly with timber sash windows, decorative fireplaces, ornate wall sconces and a welcoming hall arch; the home's unexpected turn is its open living and dining space, centred by a cast iron wood heater.
The 1970's rear addition includes separate bath, shower and vanity areas, versatile sunroom and a basic rear kitchen – with cellar access – and provides French door flow to the brick-paved courtyard.
This is history, inspiration, walkability and location prestige in one. You could wait a lifetime for a Buxton Street manor – or start 11 Buxton Street's life over, STCC - creating something beyond special on a world-class axis.

LIFESTYLE
North Adelaide is where heritage streetscapes, grand villas and leafy parklands meet an electric inner-city lifestyle.
From Buxton Street, Wellington Square is practically your front garden, with its mature shade and daily dose of green space. It's where everything unfolds at your feet: free city buses, Jeffcott Street and its beeline to Adelaide Oval and the CBD, O'Connell Street's cafés, restaurants and wine bars, the Adelaide Aquatic Centre, and North Adelaide Golf Course.
North Adelaide has held rank among Adelaide's most coveted inner-city suburbs for generations, prized for its architecture, history, village atmosphere and proximity to the very best of the city.
