2/15 Botanic Street, Hackney SA 5069

Cosmopolitan, Chic and Cute, with three capital Cs - that's the essence of this gorgeous little treasure box in near-city, historic Hackney.

Tucked into a lovely tree-lined street and surrounded by character cottages, this pristine gem is an ideal haven for singles or a couple seeking a city pad or as a rental property. There's a touch of boutique Paris, New York or London about it... and it's a prime example of the new "tiny living".

This prime suburb features St Peter's College as its centrepiece with the Botanic Gardens, Botanic Park, River Torrens and National Wine Centre as neighbours. The CBD is so close you can easily commute there on foot.

Like the well-established trees, this block of units has been firmly planted in its little niche since 1959, revelling in its light and airy, open-space layout.

Entering the front door, richly toned timber floors flow through the living / kitchen / dining and beyond to the bedroom, whilst a freshly painted, neutral palette of 'antique white' allows the light to bounce on crisp walls in a space for all tastes of interiors.

A counter-top separating the kitchen and lounge makes a convenient breakfast bar with ample cupboard space for storage, which is unusual for a unit of this size. A gas stovetop and electric oven help the gourmet chef create while a floor-to-ceiling pantry / extra storage can be found across the tiled hallway in front of the back door.

A door with leadlight panels leads into the generous, light-infused, double bedroom, which has twin built-in robes, and an ensuite bathroom with a shower incorporated into the full-size tub. Pristine white tiles contrast with the original terrazzo floors bringing together two eras in one room. A split-system reverse-cycle air-conditioner directs warm or cool air throughout the open living / lounge area and into the bedroom.

Outside, there are communal areas with well-established gardens and shady trees. Beneath one tree is a pair of rustic timber seats - just the spot to sip a cuppa or something stronger, and to ponder how neatly all life's necessities can fit into one compact package.
