237 Gilles Street

In a gem of a location in the city's quieter south-east pocket, a stone's throw from Hutt Street's hip dining scene, the South Park Lands and Victoria Park's bird-filled Wetlands, this late 19th-century 4-bedroom cottage has been artfully transported into the modern era by savvy renovations. Streetside, it's all classic looks with a red brick/bluestone façade and shady front porch, while the interior blends original elements such as original solid timber floorboards and a multi-arched entry passage, with white-washed walls, the introduction of well-matched timber-style hybrid flooring, and a smart new kitchen, bathroom and laundry fit-out. The light-filled 3-bedrooms run down one side of the entry hall, the larger master enjoying a leafy outlook across the porch and a low front fence to Gilles Street through a window alcove/reading nook. The spacious central lounge has one of the home's two decorative fireplaces (the other is in the master), with a slider into a stylishly tiled combined kitchen/meals area with crisp white cabinets and a suite of stainless appliances and access into a side courtyard. The new laundry is a fully integrated affair accommodating a washer and a trough, and the self-contained bathroom has been reimagined with fancy floor-to-ceiling tiles, a frameless glass shower, timber vanity, matte black tapware, underfloor heating and a heated towel rack for added comfort and luxury. A premium feature is the rear laneway access into a secure carport that extends into a smaller open-air courtyard. The carport's covered section has festoon lights and would be a great place to host a party; there's an adjacent studio/4th bedroom with a shower and powder room that could work as a hobby hub, kids' retreat, gym or extra accommodation - it's modest but could be spruced up! Additional upgrades include a restored traditional aluminium roof, along with the inclusion of solar panels and a battery system for improved energy efficiency. Whatever stage you're at, young single, a couple with big dreams, or downsizers ready to swap the suburbs for the city-life, this walk-everywhere location will have massive appeal with excellent proximity to the Parklands, city state/private schools, vibrant dining precincts, and the allure of the Adelaide Central Market and the CBD's enviable year-round calendar of festivals and events!
