$730k - $800k
Offers Close Tue, 28th Apr - 12pm (USP)
Low on fuss and high on possibility, this 1880s character cottage takes its time-honoured charm, two-bedrooms and sky-lit living zones and quietly packages it up at the end of a quaint lane in one of the city fringe's more eclectic pockets. Set within highly walkable Adelaide, you're perfectly placed to enjoy a lifestyle where cafes, parklands and everyday essentials are just a stroll away – including the ever-popular Adelaide Central Markets, brimming with fresh produce, local flavours, and vibrant atmosphere just moments from your door.
The existing home is neat, functional and easy to enjoy for yourself or rent out, while the rear lane access adds a powerful second layer to the story, opening the possibilities to a more ambitious future when the time feels right.
Open the Door to:
• An 1880s character base with solid proportions and palpable potential
• A traditional front-to-back layout with two well-sized bedrooms, central lounge and a defined rear kitchen zone
• A functional, existing kitchen with gas cooktop, ample storage and clear scope for reconfiguration or expansion
• A skylight that draws natural light deep into the plan
• Original timber floors, fireplace mantle and period detailing that anchor the home in its era
• A compact but updated bathroom with stone-topped vanity, vessel basin and full-height tiling
• A rear service zone incorporating laundry and bathroom, positioned for easy future redesign
• A deep rear courtyard offering shade, with direct access from the home and valuable rear lane entry
• Rear lane access that unlocks future flexibility, from off-street parking to a more considered extension footprint. Parking permit included.
• A footprint that already works, but leaves clear room to open, extend or reorient over time
Close the Door on:
• Over-renovated cottages that strip out their character in favour of short-term shine. Here, the bones are intact and ready for a more considered approach.
• Blocks that stop at the back fence. Rear lane access gives this one a practical edge
• Through-traffic, street noise and the feeling of being constantly on show. This one tucks itself at the quiet end of the lane, where comings and goings feel few and far between
Set within Adelaide's tightly held west end fringe just off Gouger Street, this pocket trades noise for nuance, just minutes from the CBD, Adelaide Central Market, western Parklands and River Torrens Linear Park trail. With tram and bus links close by and easy access to Port Road, South Road, Anzac Highway, Royal Adelaide Hospital and zoned to Adelaide High School, it's a position that keeps everything within reach without putting it on your doorstep. You're home.
