18/55 Melbourne Street

Warm, welcoming, walkable. Rivalling O'Connell Street as the heartbeat of North Adelaide, Melbourne Street only gets better when you can lock up, step out, and savour a front-row seat to one of Adelaide's best lifestyle strips. This secure first floor Grand Apartments townhouse does exactly that. From its neutral interiors and newly laid floorboards, the easy footprint of this two-bedroom city-fringe pad opens the door for the busy professional, city dweller or investor, while the hum of this coveted precinct is captured from the private, north-facing balcony. You'll step inside for a generous open plan living and meals area, anchored by a quality kitchen featuring granite benchtops, stainless steel appliances including a brand-new dishwasher and a social benchtop that doubles as brunch on the run. Directly above, the roomy upper level extends with two substantial robed and carpeted bedrooms converging on a full-sized central bathroom, with bath, while the European laundry is a clever secret. And behind the automatic driveway gates, there's a chance the car won't move far from the single carport. Instead, life will translate into a steak and ale beneath the heated eaves of The Lion Hotel, around the corner at The British or the Kentish Hotels, joining the scarved supporters on foot to Adelaide Oval, or taking the tranquil path to your CBD office via the Linear Parkway. And it's perfectly placed for Walkerville cafes, the city ring route, and Adelaide's seasonal rotation of festivals. With UR Caffe, Veneziano or Butter and Toast, a latte with lunch is sorted. Private schools including Wilderness, St. Andrews, St. Peters and Prince Alfred Colleges come with the territory; groceries, salons, Pilates studios and a string of dining spots are yours in a door dash. Lifestyle comes in all forms, yet here, it isn't the bonus. It's the reason to buy and expect more on Melbourne Street.
