Park-edged serenity with an instant serve of cosmopolitan convenience – city fringe lifestyle couldn't play out more perfectly from this family-sized base.
This circa 1896 cottage presents more than fretwork-laced prestige; its leading formal lounge/fourth bedroom offers box-seat views of the Athletic Fields through pretty patio French doors.
Step inside via the discreet side entry and its affluence is evident with high ceilings, an ornate hall arch, polished timber floors and three decorative fireplaces; a discreet upper level adds a clever 'later' layer that gives this period home incredible flexibility.
Options that mean a generous master-sized suite beside a refreshed second bathroom and an adjoining extra bedroom, nursery or study.
Downstairs, bedroom two edges the second bathroom remodel, framed by essential linen storage, ahead of a generous central lounge with a gas log fireplace and the home's spacious, social finale: the French Provincial-style kitchen.
It's where soft hues turn bold against limewashed timber floors bathed in north-facing sunlight. Dine in, stay for the garden views and a day trip to the South of France.
With a walk-in pantry/cellar and an adjoining coffee station, a Smeg freestanding cooker and dishwasher stand out as modern inclusions to its French country feel, reaching out to a deep, productive backyard.
Play host beneath tree-strung lighting, light up the wood oven, potter in the irrigated beds or the powered shed-turn-studio/workshop linking the rear dual carport to Melbourne Street.
For the love of lifestyle, the home will delight couples, professionals, or the semi-retired, selling itself to a broad buyer group on a tightly held, city-reaching radius.
From right here to right there. Start the day at Fitness on the Park, grab a latte from a string of local cafes, and walk to The British, The Kentish or The Lion for dinner later. Adelaide Oval, the Adelaide Zoo, the Memorial and Women's & Children's Hospitals sit along the city bus route, while Linear Park makes a path on foot.
