16 Wakeham Street

Adelaide SA 5000

Restore the heritage-listed home to its former glory with a contemporary flair or let your imagination soar with the possibilities for the adjoining land. Whether creating a private garden oasis, additional living spaces, or a visionary project, this opportunity is as rare as the property itself.

Wonderful original features worthy of retention include a bluestone and redbrick façade, original rooms and fireplaces. From its charming street presence and verandah behind picket fencing, enter the lounge - the first of two - and take in high ceilings, a decorative fireplace and timber floors. The second lounge is even larger, with plenty of room to dine, and flowing into the bright and playful kitchen. The next bedroom is sunny thanks to windows on two walls, while the main bathroom includes a bath and original leadlight window, with a separate window via the rear.

Outdoors, a generous yard and second title, which historically accommodated horse stables is studded with established trees and is the blank canvas for your fabulous future landscaping vision or an exciting opportunity to sell on; for now, there's plenty of space for off-street parking with views to the beautiful M-shaped bluestone façade.

Opportunities like this certainly don't come along every day. Whether you're a savvy home renovator or aspirational builder, secure this rare opportunity to restore, renovate or extend (STCC) this tidy row cottage and two titles on a hearty slice of the CBD on Wakeham Street.
