13 Gordon Street, Glenelg SA 5045

Unassumingly nestled behind Jetty Road is a two-bedroom cottage with a top-to-toe transformation that makes a stylish splash

You wouldn't know it from just looking at its cute-as-button front façade, but the owner (and carpenter by trade) had a deceptively large canvas to work with.

That feeling of space is born out of 3.8-metre-high ceilings, two roomy bedrooms and expansive open-plan living that puts a classy exclamation mark on its 1890s origins.

When it comes to the style choices, it's a case of masterstroke after masterstroke, tick after tick...

Like the TV alcoves and ambient ethanol fireplaces of your two spacious bedrooms. Tick, and tick!

The regal gray walls that contrast so beautifully with the white of its plantation shutters, heritage 360mm cornices and soaring ceilings. Tick!

Then there's the Blackbutt timber feature panelling of the open-plan living room - a clever way to soften and modernise, all in the same breath. BIG tick!

And, of course, the striking open-plan kitchen headlined by black granite benchtops, Smeg appliances and breakfast bar. So many ticks!

Meanwhile, the bathroom - with its funky feature wall and Italian concrete tiling - is as sexy as the kitchen. Tick!

As for the converted garage - boasting, concrete floors, stainless steel kitchen, rear lane access and room for two cars - well, it might just be the biggest masterstroke of all.

More reasons why we love this home:

- Efficient R/C split heating and cooling throughout, including brand new LG units to bedrooms
- Jarrah bedhead/feature wall to master bedroom
- Dimmable LED down lighting throughout
- Bar fridge and Essastone benchtops to stainless steel outdoor kitchen
- Smeg oven/gas cooktop and Bosch dishwasher to kitchen
- Completely re-wired throughout
- Gas hot water system, plus gas mains connection to BBQ
- Deceptively quiet despite being so close to Jetty Road
- And so many more.
