30 Alfred Street, Adelaide SA 5000

Sunnybrook C.1886

A Westside story with quirk, character & a heritage edge. For a tree-lined lifestyle on a buzzing slice of the city's west, think surprisingly quiet Alfred Street. Beyond the bullnose verandah & striking rouge render is one-part history, one-part home - extended yet a renovator's delight all at once. From its 1890 circa, its 1987 addition breathes light & air through cedar French doors stretching its verandah to mark alfresco territory alongside floor to ceiling glass open living kitchen/family room.
But this local heritage character comes with potential for investors, couples or city lifestyle-seekers to value-add even further (STCC). Two bedrooms steer off the leading hallway which meet the home's social zone ahead of its original fireplace & mantel, then breezes casually into the rustic eat-in kitchen. But the first thing likely to fire up in this 19th century cottage kitchen (next to its impending contemporary renovation) is its gas heater...
Slate floors, French doors & pine matchboard ceilings - spare yourself dinner duty in these digs when you can leave it to nearby Lantern by Nu's Thai chef to blaze his woks instead. But staying in is still a pleasure. Think courtyard hosting lead by glass, encased by a high & private neighbouring wall with vertical border gardens, lifting the visuals of your effortless city block.

The third & final bedroom winds down at the back & joining it, the updated bathroom. Combining laundry duty, a dusting of mosaic white tiles & a frameless shower, it makes crisp & clever use of space.

As the skyline rises around you, take to a pick of bars & restaurants, public transport whisking you in seconds to Adelaide's universities & the state-of-the-art RAH, with permit parking available & rear access to Gouger Street.

Down an ale at the Prince Albert, cart your trolley to the Central Markets, do cheap eats at Chinatown or turn to the eco-ethos of Caf Troppo on Whitmore Square for your latte.

This Westside story started as a quirky, single fronted cottage with one-family-owner since the 1920's - so, it's got a fair bit to say...
