Overview

Elevated Poolside Sanctuary in Parkside.

SOLD BY ZAC WATTS & NADIA COVINO. It's not often a C.1890 Bluestone villa claims a 728sqm (approx.) slice of tightly held Parkside let alone one that spills directly onto a storybook walking trail and playground but 85 Porter Street pairs its nostalgic street presence with a resort-inspired rear that rewrites expectations for family living just minutes from the CBD. Beautifully preserved from the front, its return verandah, high ornate ceilings and feature fireplaces honour the home's heritage bones, while a central hallway reveals up to five generous bedrooms of grand proportion. There's a sense of occasion in every room the kind only villas of this era can deliver. The primary suite feels purpose-built for escape: a walk-in robe, double vanity ensuite and a light-filled atrium create a private sanctuary you'll swear is miles from anywhere yet you're barely 5-minutes from the heart of Adelaide. Then comes the sweeping rear addition, opening wide to a sparkling pool, expansive entertainer's deck and lawns primed for backyard cricket. It's a backdrop framed by towering gums and blue skies that turns everyday living into something much more magical. At its heart, the kitchen dials both beauty and performance to the max stone benchtops, quality Smeg appliances, breakfast bar seating and near-360-degree storage wrapped in warm, earthy tones. Tucked beyond, a fully self-contained studio adds another layer of flexibility ideal for multi-generational living, a teen retreat, home business or an income stream that works quietly in the background. Zoned for the ever-popular Glenunga International High School and footsteps from the beloved Leicester Street Playground, with the cafés and cosmopolitan pull of Unley Road within easy reach, this is established, poolside perfection on a scale Parkside rarely affords timeless at the front, transformative at the rear, and utterly complete in between.
