A brilliant reminder of why good things are worth keeping, when a circa 1890s bluestone cottage evolves to the level and quality this one has, mere minutes from Semaphore's foreshore.
Not a single 19th century stone was left unturned in its contemporary yet sympathetic transformation.
Fully rewired and restored, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home honours its era's polished floorboards, soaring ceilings, huge rooms and ornate fireplaces with a modern awakening the young family will love.
New backyard boundary fencing, new front picket fencing, new automatic sliding gates to the multi-car driveway, and a rear shed offering choice: will it house the gym set-up and sauna or become the tradie's home office?
All three large bedrooms line the central corridor, each with custom robes. The primary suite opens to the front verandah and the adjoining living room, with a feature fireplace, linking openly to the crisp kitchen remodel.
Lighting creates impact. Throughout the home, its effect is felt from the soft glow of period hallway and bedroom fixtures to the hidden LEDs beneath slick wet area joinery.
Homes like this tell a story, and there's no better backdrop to its contemporary addition than the former exterior bluestone wall, where layers of wear and tear bring the past into play.
In contrast, the 2022 kitchen gleams with glazed and tiled splashbacks, smooth stone surfaces, custom joinery and stunning natural light. Yet it's not just a place to mingle and admire, but the cook's companion to the mains-gas BBQ, a slide of the servery window away.
The alfresco, with bar fridge provisions and exposed aggregate concrete underfoot, is beautifully offset by timber baton ceilings, headlining an easy-care, established backyard. Even here, the hard yards are done.
Completed in 2024, the bathroom remodel sets antique brass against stone vanity tops, dual basins against backlit mirrors, with a luxe bath soak to finish. Rounding off the laundry, the fully tiled second bathroom is just as luxe, creating a useful guest suite for the BBQ crowd.
Ethelton's working-class roots have come of age, and this Russell Street redesign pays spectacular tribute to a precinct finding its contemporary stride.
Walking distance to Ethelton train station, a pivot to the historic Port precinct, prized Westside Primary School and Portside Christian College, summer days to the beach and back are just the beginning
