There are homes that simply exist, and then there are homes that have been crafted. 30 Rose Street belongs to the latter - a Torrens-titled bluestone cottage (c.1900) reborn through a meticulous modern extension in 2017. Every decision, every finish and every comfort has been carefully chosen, creating a home that feels both grounded in its heritage and effortlessly contemporary.
Behind the sleek timber gate and landscaped front garden, the modern façade hides its true nature: bluestone walls, old-world charm and modern convenience - all with the quiet assurance of craftsmanship. The home's character greets you instantly, yet its layout and design speak purely of modern living.
Inside, the tone is calm and refined. Walk into polished concrete and a light, bright study with a custom-built Tasmanian oak desk - perfect for the work-from-home era. Original timber floors lead through the early 1900s wing, where high ceilings and soft light create a feeling of space. Three generous sized bedrooms offer private comfort, each with ceiling fans, built-ins and decorative fireplaces, and the main featuring floor-to-ceiling built-in robes and a hidden ensuite with custom Tasmanian oak cabinetry and floor-to-ceiling tiles.
The rear extension opens into a space that's as functional as it is beautiful. Polished concrete floors hold gentle warmth from the hydronic underfloor heating, while three Velux skylights and panoramic stacking windows flood the area with natural light. The living zone centres around a feature Venetian plaster fireplace with an Escea gas heater, flanked by custom Tasmanian oak cabinetry - a space designed to be lived in, not just admired.
The kitchen continues the theme of quiet quality, with Miele appliances, Caesarstone benchtops and cabinetry in warm Tasmanian oak tones. Adjacent, the combined laundry and butler's pantry adds practical luxury with Caesarstone surfaces, generous storage and outdoor access.
Through commercial-grade stacker doors, the alfresco invites year-round enjoyment. Tallowwood decking, dual Phantom screens, gas provision for a built-in BBQ and landscaped surrounds complete the scene, a private pocket of greenery framed by magnolias and manicured hedging.
Creature comforts are abundant: ducted and zoned Daikin air conditioning, hydronic underfloor heating, an Escea gas fire and a Daikin split system in the study. The oversized double garage, accessed via Scott Street, provides both convenience and security.
All of this sits just moments from Jetty Road, Glenelg's beach, cafés and boutique shopping. Schools (St Mary's Catholic Primary, Sacred Heart College & Immanuel College), transport and lifestyle amenities are all within easy reach.
The owners sum it up best:
"It's the little things you don't see that make it special - the way the underfloor heating clicks on before you wake, or how the light moves through the skylights in the afternoon."
This is a home built to be felt, not just seen.
