Occupying a coveted position on the corner of Bristol and Robert Streets, just steps to the beautiful white sands of Glenelg beach and a short stroll to the vibrant activity along Jetty Road, including tram to the city. Behind a private brush fence and secure gates, this c1880 character laden villa/cottage refreshed with its clean, modern white façade, blends timeless charm with modern comfort offering a spacious and versatile layout and flexible opportunities and options.
Step inside to a full-length hallway where high ceilings, a decorative archway, large rooms, classic fireplaces and beautiful timber floorboards speak to the home’s enduring quality and craftsmanship.
The residence is steeped in pioneering local history. In 1890 the property was purchased by Mrs. Kingston, and it became part of the Kingston Girls School along with numbers 10 & 12 Bristol Street. The school closed in 1928, and each dwelling now stands alone.
The original home has been thoughtfully reimagined and offers far more accommodation than you might think at first glance - the main house comprises three double bedrooms off a central hallway, each bedroom with a fireplace (two are marble), large formal lounge with fireplace plus a separate formal dining room. The generous chef’s kitchen was updated with stylish finishes and is perfectly positioned adjacent to the dining room. The kitchen is fitted with quality appliances, including a commercial Hi-tech stove, a dishwasher, rangehood, and plenty of storage. A newly renovated spacious and sleek bathroom is elegantly finished with floor-to-ceiling micro cement decorative coatings displaying a seamless, modern look. Features a fluted corner freestanding bath, walk-in shower, toilet, large floating vanity with storage and a double mirrored shaving cabinet for additional storage along with makeup lighting, plus an exquisite ‘seascape’ stained glass window. There is also a European-style laundry for added convenience.
Empty nesters, families with solitude-seeking teens, or couples inspired to host – here’s your haven. The back section of the home has been remodeled and converted into a light filled retreat that provides one spacious bedroom, one bathroom, and open plan kitchen and laundry area. The uniquely styled studio space is fully self-contained, and a sound-proofing wall of cupboards has been installed between the main house and the retreat. Currently operating as successful short stay accommodation and independently managed, the studio is separately accessible via the side entry, presenting an exceptional opportunity for homeowners seeking an additional income stream, or the astute investor.
Outside there is a private rear yard with low-maintenance garden plus valuable side road access (from Robert Street) to a lock-up garage with new roller door (currently used for storage) and carport (currently used for guest onsite parking) with additional free street parking nearby.
