Auction Sat, 8th Aug - 10am (USP)
Sitting pretty on an elongated south-north plot where Parkside converges on cosmopolitan Unley Road and southern parklands, this extended c1890 cottage lives well; and much larger than its easy-care, single-fronted plot might suggest.
A light-grabbing central courtyard marks the transition from the fully-updated original cottage to a rear open-plan addition that draws you to its stone-topped kitchen before pushing you beyond its bi-fold wall of glass and onto a sunny, subtly elevated rear deck.
The sum of its parts is an impeccably presented home with a cute-as-pie street presence behind a picket fence, up to three bedrooms, ensuite bathroom, two timber-decked places to host outdoors, push-button comfort and the space to spread out, minus the usual upkeep. It's time to start living.
Open the Door To:
An impeccably updated and extended c1890 cottage that turns its elongated footprint into a surprisingly spacious three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with two outdoor entertaining zones
Charming original features, including lofty ceilings, ornate fireplaces, decorative cornices and polished timber floorboards
Three generous bedrooms, including a privately placed third bedroom with its own ensuite and two front bedrooms with newly installed split-system air conditioning
A central timber-decked courtyard that pulls daylight and fresh air into the middle of the plan while creating a natural pause between the original cottage and rear addition
A large stone-topped kitchen with extensive cabinetry, an oversized island and breakfast bar, gas cooktop, stainless steel oven and dishwasher
Free-flowing dining and living zones framed by polished timber floors, built-in storage and a broad wall of glass that opens the entire rear of the home
A sunny, subtly elevated deck, creating an effortless transition into the landscaped rear garden
Significant 2026 works including underpinning to the original front section with a 10-year warranty, fresh interior and exterior paint, polished floors and decks, new carpets, updated lighting and refreshed landscaping
Plentiful storage, a rainwater tank connected to the ensuite toilet and a dog door to the dining area
Eligible owners can apply for a residential street-parking permit, with frequent Unley Road bus services providing an easy alternative to driving
Solar panels and an inverter
From here, life in the Glenunga International High School zone spills naturally onto Unley Road, where coffee, dinner, groceries and impromptu shopping sprees are all within walking distance, while the southern parklands form a green prelude to the city beyond. Regular buses make the CBD an easy commute, but on a clear morning you may prefer to walk it, turning the daily trip into a leafy passage from Parkside to the centre of Adelaide. Position, perfect.
