Beautifully set on a leafy, tree-lined street in the heart of tightly held Kensington, this delightful c.1920 symmetrical red brick cottage offers an elegant fusion of classic character and everyday functionality—perfectly suited to thoughtful reinvention as a modern family haven.
Welcome to 49 Maesbury Street, a much-loved residence held by the same family for generations, and now ready for its next chapter in one of Adelaide's most prestigious and convenient inner-east suburbs.
Occupying an expansive 696m² (approx.) allotment, the home is privately tucked behind a high brick fence and secure gated driveway. Stepping on to the verandah, you're immediately greeted by the warmth of yesteryear—tall ceilings, deep skirtings, original doors, and timber floors. The central hallway leads to three generously sized bedrooms, each thoughtfully positioned to allow separation and privacy.
A formal lounge sits at the heart of the home, complete with split system air conditioning and ample space for relaxation or hosting. The eat-in kitchen features white cabinetry with black hardware and adjoins a flexible second living or dining area with solid timber floors. While largely original and in dated condition, the interiors offer a sound foundation and wonderful scope for future updates.
Outdoors, the rear garden is lush and productive, with mature fruit trees (including apricot and peach) and thriving grapevines lining the perimeter. A pergola-draped alfresco area provides the perfect spot for weekend entertaining, while the single garage with a rear workshop and a four-car driveway adds rare convenience in this sought-after locale.
With its solid double-brick construction, dry cellar, and abundance of storage, this residence is ready for comfortable living today with clear potential to evolve into a beautiful, long-term family home.
Positioned moments from Kensington Oval, The Parade Norwood, Maryattville Shopping Centre and excellent public transport, this home places you in the heart of a thriving lifestyle precinct—surrounded by top-tier schooling and rich in history, charm, and community appeal.
