85 Porter St, Parkside is a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1890. The property has a land size of 728m2 and floor size of 265m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in May 2021.
On leafy Porter Street, behind a timeless facade sits a turn-of-the-century villa that celebrates its original features and 21st-century updates, none more compelling than its modern open-plan extension, resort-style rear setting and separate self-contained studio.
Five bright and airy original rooms line a central hallway, each eager to show off their large dimensions, soaring ceilings and ornate fireplaces.
The street-facing formal lounge could be an additional bedroom at the drop of a king bed in this supremely flexible, solar-powered home with rear access and garaging at its bow and stern.
The main suite is a literal escape; walk-in robe, double vanity ensuite, and an atrium where you can pretend you're somewhere far away (at least from the kids) - not five minutes from Adelaide's CBD.
And it all makes way for a boundless rear addition that frames the pool, a deck that begs for long lunches, cricket-ready lawns and towering gums beyond. A beautiful backdrop to daily life.
With stone benchtops, Smeg appliances, breakfast bar, earthy tones and almost 360-degrees of storage, the kitchen turns the 'looks' and 'functionality' dials to HIGH.
A step into the fully self-contained studio opens up a world of possibilities for multi-generational families or anyone looking to supplement their income.
Step back out and feast your eyes on what's yours; 726sqm of fully established, quietly spectacular living, zoned for Glenunga International High, steps from the Leicester Street playground and Unley Road's cosmopolitan gems.
