Overview

Keep it classic, live it up; a city cottage in very good company

Best offers by 12:00pm Tuesday 29th September (unless sold prior) Hutt Street for dinner, Victoria Park for the morning lap, your own north-facing garden for everything in between - 54 McLaren Street makes a compelling argument for having your cake and eating it too. And it's been doing so for a while. Built C1880, its bluestone frontage and picket fence bring the old-school good looks, while lofty ceilings and a timeless footprint carry the character inside. The front lounge sets the mood, pairing polished timber floors with a combustion fireplace that makes colder months something to look forward to. Movie night, Sunday afternoon, red wine by the fire every mood finds its place. Two bedrooms follow, including a main lined with wall-to-wall built-in robes, before the floorplan gets social. An eat-in kitchen puts everyone around the same table, pairing timber cabinetry and gas cooking with the kind of honest functionality that works perfectly well now - with plenty of scope to put your own stamp on things when the time is right. An updated bathroom and adjoining laundry keep the practical stuff covered, before the back door opens to one of the home's best surprises. Tucked away from the world, a veranda and paved terrace step overlook a private rear garden with northern sunshine overhead, greenery around the edges, and just enough lawn to enjoy without losing every Saturday to it. Rear-lane access is simply the cherry on top. And then there's the location. Hutt Street has coffee, cocktails, and dinner sorted around the corner. Victoria Park handles the morning laps and Sunday sprawl. The East End is within easy reach, South Terrace makes quick work of escaping to the hills or coast, and zoning for Gilles Street Primary, Adelaide High, and Adelaide Botanic High rounds out an address that ticks every box. Classic where it counts, connected where it matters the next chapter belongs to you.
