2/61 Porter Street

Parkside SA 5063

With its elegant dark grey exterior complemented by hedges of established murayas, this residence is all about luxurious living seamlessly blending with its character origination.

The verandah, with its smart tessellated tiled entrance is a contrast to the fun light pink front door, which, once opened, will enthrall and captivate one all at at once.

Freshly renovated, the home has the perfect balance of contemporary luxe whilst acknowledging its grand character features.

A delightful master bedroom suite, with its original ornamental fireplace, offers built in storage, views to the the front yard, an impressive walk in wardrobe, and an ensuite which is bathed in natural light and will impress with its elegance and simplicity.

And the concept of bringing the outdoors in, with the windows at ceiling height allowing the light to engulf this space, and the user to shower with views to the treetops.

The middle bedroom has a striking original red brick feature wall, a nod to times past. There are floor to ceiling wardrobes with a full panel mirror. The third bedroom has built in storage around an ornamental fireplace, and has a window to the southern side of the home.

The second and third bedrooms are serviced by a sparkling new full sized decadent bathroom with shower and separate bath, the perfect place to soak at the end of the day.

Casual living and dining is located at the rear of the home, with the kitchen being the nucleus of this contemporary space.

The kitchen, with its white cabinetry and European appliances, has plenty of storage, and a stone benchtop is the ideal place to have a few bar stools and entertain guests.

And the laundry at the rear is of pleasing proportions and offers more storage options.

The rear yard is simple and low maintenance, with feature ornamental pears and a hedge of Murrayas, and a lawned area just perfect for the kids or the furry children, and there's room for one (and possibly two) vehicles secured and off street via a rear lane. The great open space at the rear is a delight with its lush green outlook and blossoming trees, and the sliding doors on the Southern and Eastern sides allow for the seamless blend of the indoor and outdoor spaces.

What's not to love about a character home in city fringe Parkside? With its most convenient proximity to some of the best shopping in Adelaide (Burnside, Unley, Metro), as well as some great schools such as Parkside and Unley Primary, Walford, Scotch, Concordia & Mercedes Colleges. And when the work day is done, walk to one of your favourite local haunts, The Leicester Hotel or The Cremorne, or for a delicious pizza at Bandit on Unley Road.

The work is all done on this beauty, from top to toe. Are you ready for the enviable lifestyle that Parkside offers?
