Best Offers By 2pm Tuesday 28th January

Behind the heritage-listed 1880s bluestone front is an elegant and spacious renovated house, inspired by the owner's many visits to Europe. The emphasis is on comfort and relaxation throughout the property, with a modern take on heritage values.

Entering the cottage, you will find original baltic pine floors to the lounge and guest/second bedroom, both rooms harking back to heritage times. The focal point of the lounge room is a beautiful traditional marble fireplace, enclosing an easy-to-maintain gas heater, while gorgeous velvet drapes frame the windows looking out onto Sussex Street.

Turn the hallway corner and you are transported to modern days with a sympathetic, quality two-storey renovation and addition to the property. In addition to the two heritage rooms, the downstairs also comprises a fully-fitted study (which could easily become a third bedroom), a spacious bathroom and the kitchen/dining room (which also contains a European-style laundry in a cupboard). The kitchen/dining area opens through bifold doors to a stunning spotted gum deck and garden, providing seamless and all-weather opportunities for outdoor living throughout the year. And best of all, the outdoor area contains a pizza oven to keep the guests well-fed and entertained!

The kitchen features an oversize Fisher and Paykel oven, a Fisher and Paykel cooktop (gas and induction combo), a Miele dishwasher and loads of storage space to cater for the most dedicated of home cooks.

Upstairs you will enter what can only be described as a hotel-style retreat. The master bedroom is huge, airy and opens through sliding doors onto an outdoor balcony that makes the most of balmy summer evenings. Beautiful oak fronted wardrobes and drawers are hidden behind a nib wall, offering extensive storage for the new owners. The ensuite bathroom offers an open shower, twin basins, and tiling that echoes the heritage look and feel of the original cottage.

Also upstairs is a large studio and storage room with oodles of built-in storage; this area has the potential to become another bedroom or multi-purpose room.

Quiet and high quality reverse cycle airconditioning, with ducted vents to every room, allows for the perfect indoor environment year-round. Best of all, the roof-top solar panels make sure that energy costs are kept to a minimum.

And then there's the location. Whether it's coffee at home or one of the many Melbourne Street cafes in the morning, this property ticks all the boxes for proximity to the cultural life of central Adelaide while maintaining a feeling of privacy and an oasis of calm.

The current owner has run the property as a very successful hosted Airbnb property since late 2020 (guests had use of the downstairs bedroom, bathroom and loungeroom, while the owner used the upstairs areas when guests were present). Attaining superhost status and a five-star rating are testament to the qualities that the property offers, whether to live in privately, or for hosting purposes.
