Thoughtfully extended and beautifully balanced, this home unfolds as a series of considered spaces - each designed to adapt, connect, and retreat with effortless grace.

The original cottage forms one wing, where leadlight details, timber floors, and a classic fireplace honour its heritage. This can be utilised for a short-stay accommodation, functioning with a sense of independence that speaks to the home's inherent flexibility. A traditional verandah frontage and the separation provided by the central courtyard further enhance privacy between the two wings. Two generous bedrooms are complemented by a character-rich living room and a fully-tiled main bathroom, while a highly versatile laundry - complete with sink, storage, and rangehood, this space offers future potential as a work-from-home zone or even a secondary kitchen, ideal for Airbnb use.
Across the courtyard, the contemporary extension introduces light-filled open-plan living and dining, anchored by a well-appointed kitchen. Here, French doors open to a paved, undercover alfresco, creating a refined setting for year-round entertaining before flowing into the expansive and deeply private rear garden - where lawns, veggie patches, and established greenery form a sanctuary-like backdrop. Privately positioned within this wing, the master suite is a true retreat, complete with walk-in robe and ensuite, plus peaceful garden outlooks - a space designed to restore and unwind.
Moments from the shoreline, the caf culture of Broadway, and the coastal vibrancy of Glenelg, this address places lifestyle at the forefront.
