As a heritage-listed row cottage from the c.1880s, this character home preserves its distinctive frontage while unveiling a remarkable architecturally designed rear and first floor. Set in a quiet, leafy corner of the Adelaide CBD, amidst other character homes, the property provides unrivalled views of the city and hills. Nestled next to lush parklands, it borders Victoria Park and Hutt Street and is just a short stroll to the bustling Rundle Street and city centre. From once a modest dwelling, this property has been masterfully transformed into an impressive, spacious residence with a design that optimises every inch of space, without compromising on style. 

As you step through the front door, your gaze is effortlessly drawn to a leafy courtyard behind a glass enclosure. Brimming with mature trees and trailing vines, this inviting outdoor space strikes a commanding presence. With its potential for multiple uses, this universal area can be tailored to suit any lifestyle, offering a uniquely personal oasis right at your doorstep.

Nestled at the heart of the home is the open-plan living, kitchen and dining area. Seamlessly connecting the cooking area to the living zone, luxurious polished concrete flooring heroically unites the spaces, effortlessly casting a sense of sophisticated cohesion. The contemporary kitchen, featuring a suite of premium Smeg appliances, is the ideal space to prepare gourmet meals all while enjoying the convenience of an integrated ASKO dishwasher. Polished off with Essa stone benchtops, stainless steel tapware and Franke butler's sink, the kitchen offers functionality in abundance. The central island breakfast bar, replete with drawer storage, beckons for casual dining experiences.

This clever design continues upstairs, where the luxurious master bedroom stands as a true retreat.  Showcasing a contemporary-style walk-in wardrobe, an ensuite, and a spacious balcony that opens to stunning views of the CBD and Victoria Park. The ensuite and main bathroom both sport matching feature pendant lights, vanity, and tapware, with black taps adding a stylish accent throughout. In the ensuite, a rain shower head delivers a spa-like experience, complemented by a handheld showerhead for versatility. 

The main bathroom is a haven with its shower-over-bath setup, a floating vanity and an oversized mirror amplifying the sense of space. Catering to practical needs, the home also includes a designated laundry area complete with a butler's sink, ample cabinetry, and spaces for a washer and dryer, facilitating effortless living.

Outside, a spacious, lush and private entertaining area awaits you. The bespoke timber seating area incorporates concealed storage, whilst creating the perfect space for alfresco dining for up to eight guests, shaded by a collapsible umbrella. All enclosed by an impressive green canopy composed of established trees and vines.

This property's prime location is the ultimate city fringe lifestyle opportunity, with Hutt Street, Victoria Park, and Adelaide's East End offering a plethora of restaurants, bars, and shopping boutiques within walking distance.
