Promising a life of unrivalled convenience thanks to its supreme location only 5-minutes' walk to The Parade's cosmopolitan heart, 11 Colliver Street is a respectfully renovated 3-bedroom maisonette that can stake true claim to the title of 'hidden gem'.
Nestled along a tranquil side street, only its ornate gabled roof and bullnose verandah visible above a high brush fence, this beauty gets the mix of old and new, exactly right. Solid timber floorboards, light-spilling sash windows and multi-coloured leadlight door framing have all been retained, while the kitchen and bathroom have both been refurbished – the former now a culinary haven brimming with stainless appliances, and the latter a bright retreat for rejuvenation at dawn or dusk.
The layout is 'classic maisonette': the 3 bedrooms branch off an arched entry passage that connects into a combined family room/meals and the modern, galley-style kitchen all sporting high-ceilings. The original lean-to, now timber-clad, has been reimagined as a sunroom/laundry, the bathroom adjacent, and sliding doors extending onto an open-air alfresco entertaining.
Blessed with a prize north-facing aspect and First Creek trickling behind the back fence, the generous rear yard is a star attraction – with scope to evolve if you wish. Serenely private, it's all beautifully brick-paved bar perimeter garden beds with established trees providing welcome summer shade. If inclined, you could swap some pavers for a patch of lawn or explore adding-on a permanent cover (pergola/retractable awning) off the back of the house (STCC).
Secure this city-fringe treasure and there's barely need for a car on the day to day, with popular restaurants, cosy cafes, hip bars, fashion boutiques, quality supermarkets, coveted public/private schools, and Adelaide's famed parklands – all a short walk from your front door. The enviable eastside life awaits – inspect soon before it's gone!
