Sitting pretty at the meeting point of Gilbert Street's character homes and vibrant community hub, this extended 1910 double-fronted maisonette is a union of then and now befitting its exciting west-end city address.
Follow the long central hall past four substantial original rooms and the old gives way to an altogether different proposition, trading the intimacy of three bedrooms and a separate lounge for an architectural rear addition that stretches out behind a ceiling-high wall of east-facing glass.
With the doors thrown open, dough working its way towards the pizza oven and a magnificent frangipani overlooking the patio, this garden escape gives the city entertainer somewhere to stay put, while a rear-lane double garage leaves the front door free for the far more pleasurable business of heading out on foot.
Open the Door to:
⁃ An extended 1910 maisonette pairing a substantial character frontage with three bedrooms, separate living zones, garden entertaining and rear-lane double garaging
⁃ A traditional verandah and garden foreground preserving the pleasure of arriving home from the street
⁃ Four generous original rooms off a central hall, with the flexibility to claim a separate lounge, study or additional bedroom
⁃ Lofty ceilings, original fireplaces and engineered oak floors carrying the early character through the front section
⁃ Carpeted bedrooms and plantation shutters
⁃ A separate lounge with a fireplace, giving books, records and late-night films a room of their own
⁃ An architecturally designed open-plan addition with distinct space to cook, dine and spread out
⁃ Ceiling-high glazing drawing the garden into view across the rear living area
⁃ Double doors opening to the paved patio, so a full table can spill outside
⁃ A streamlined kitchen with stone benchtops, a dark and moody splashback, gas cooktop, dishwasher and ample storage
⁃ A contemporary bathroom with Rogerseller and Hansa fittings
⁃ Efficient split-system air conditioning
⁃ A built-in pizza oven ready for flour-dusted afternoons and fiercely debated toppings
⁃ An established frangipani, garden beds and a patch of lawn giving the courtyard the feel of a much-loved backyard
⁃ Secure double garaging with remote entry from the rear lane and direct access to the extension
⁃ The space for a young family and the freedom to make city living a long-term proposition
A bunch from BloomBar on the way home, brunch at Leisurely Coffee and an evening at the Duke of Brunswick put familiar faces into the week, with Idle Hands drawing you further along Gilbert Street for its coffee and cardamom buns. Beyond that immediate circle sit Central Market, Chinatown, Gouger Street and the southern Parklands, giving this pocket of Adelaide the rare combination of a village-sized social life and a city-sized appetite.
