McLaren Street, situated at the east end of the city, stands among Adelaide's most desirable & enchanting residential streets, admired for its consistency of character and this offering is no exception: a late-19th-century cottage that has been fully renovated and extended. Yes, this is that special one you have been waiting for...your best life begins now.
This property is 'Heritage off Hutt' - James Bond Style!
Yes - James Bond was the original owner, and also played his part in law enforcement - so the title deeds say! Going back to the early 1890's when this beautiful charm-filled single-fronted cottage took shape, James was her first owner. Was it the legend? The lifestyle fits, at just metres from the stained glass-windowed front door to the cosmopolitan, refined and racy, yet village-like, cultured and quaint city-edge precinct of much-admired Hutt Street.
Providing a functional, modern and astute use of inner-city proportions, a light-filled clever-in-its-capacity extension was added some 12 years ago to bring the once James Bond haven into the 21st century.
A wide timber hallway, lofty ceilings and tall full-glass French doors adorn the open plan living, dining and kitchen area ensuring a spacious, floaty domain for modern living blending the old and new into a seamless flow of space and grace.
Smart architectural considerations incorporate a butler's pantry, sunny skylights and walls of storage providing a place and space that is slick yet sassy with artisan feature tiles and contemporary exposed concrete floors.
2 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (the main as an en suite) provides modern convenience and everyday comfort. Again, loads of storage are a bonus feature to these original rooms as well as the living area.
Fully detached for true Torrens Title individuality, the expansive feel on this heritage-rich quiet leafy street is enhanced with a side lane providing access to the rear. A secure auto garage door to the carport adds the option of lock-up and leave, and also doubles as a timber-featured, weather-protected alfresco patio for those relaxed unwinding moments. Shaken not stirred!
Having resided in this highly sought-after corner of the city, the current owner of some 40 years at this ideal address, has reflected on the many fun-filled times. The friends, family, characters and acquaintances who have flowed through the wide hallway to the entertainment area, enjoying the vibe and charisma of this much-loved cottage and location are treasured and vivid memories.
Recognising, that now, it is time for a new chapter leaving a blank canvass for a sequel and a new leading character to claim this charming haven, wrapped by a lifestyle of choice and chance. Is that character you?
