Wake up to views to the hills and sunrise over the eastern suburbs then at the end of the day relax with a drink on the terrace with the sun setting on the horizon, a surprising bonus in this wonderful studio style apartment on the Hyde Park strip, King William Road. The aspect of the home is a much loved feature for the current owner along with the timeless design, privacy and precinct lifestyle.
Set back from the road, this apartment unobtrusively occupies an upper level of the old Methodist Church Hall built around 1880 which underwent a major transformation in 1994 when two apartments were created. Architecturally designed to provide a feeling of spaciousness the result is both functional and aesthetic. Be prepared for the breathtaking ‘Wow’ upon entry with ceiling height of 5 metres and feature original roof trusses above rough finished walls , beautiful lancet windows, linking past use with modern living.
The main living area of 120 sq metres is accessed via the entrance from the western terrace. With open living including lounge and adjacent kitchen which overlooks the dining area there is plenty of space to enjoy as an entertainer and intimate enough to work or relax alone. The kitchen boasts granite top benches, stainless steel European appliances and a large walk-in pantry. The master bedroom completes this level with windows designed to capture views of the hills and skyline from the bed. Boasting built-in robes and shelving, there is also a large en suite with spa bath. A large laundry is perfect for storage and is generous enough for extra work space. Space in this area is also configured for a computer nook or downstairs office.
The upper level of approximately 100 sq m flows through with statement stairs of Brush Box timber through a void extending the width of the apartment. The Brush Box flooring continues into the large open area of the upper floor currently configured as a studio which could also be utilised as a separate family, relaxation, office or home entertainment space. The second double bedroom off this area has a walk-in robe and under roof storage. The third single bedroom/study is adjacent the sparkling white upstairs bathroom which repeats views from the eastern side across the rooftops, the rustic stone of old Methodist Church and is a pleasant link between inside and outside spaces.
Also important to the owners is the terrace or balcony of approximately 30 sq metres that is the entrance to the apartment, privately aligned away from the streetscape on the western side. With a folding wing awning there is room for outside entertaining, eating or relaxing. In November the Jacaranda filled streets of the local area is a perfect change of purple splashes along with the views to the southern hills all year round.
The shed or garage conveniently located on the northern side of the apartment steps was once a beer garden when the precinct was an entertainment and restaurant venue. It has character of its own as well as room for two cars and a valuable mezzanine storage space and workshop.
All this and all the conveniences we love on King William Road as well as a sense of community within a gated community that extends to side and rear of this original building. Located on arguably the best boutique shopping precincts in Adelaide, there are quality retail outlets, cafes, restaurants, bars and even a great corner pub, all within short walking distance of this exceptional property. Given there is a doctors surgery, dentist almost on the doorstep as well as Australia’s Number 1 medium sized Real Estate Agency there are great neigbours and plenty of services in a convenience supermarket, post office, chemist, bakeries, hairdressers and spa treatments it is easy to get to know the locals
