44 Deslandes Street

Tucked between the calm waters of the Port River and Semaphore's sandy shores, this cladded 2-bedroom cutie blends old-world architectural charm with a tastefully updated interior headlined by a swish new bathroom and laundry to complement its modern kitchen. Built in 1925, the home still bears the best of its original features with honey-hued solid timber floorboards through the lounge and beds, high panelled ceilings, and fancy fretwork along the wide entry passage - but there's also split system AC to the master bedroom and lounge, fans in all the main rooms as well as on the timber-decked rear verandah, and bill-busting solar. The 2 bedrooms sit on either side of the entry, the larger master with a charming fireplace and chic plantation shutters; there's also a study (hobby room) down one end of the front porch. Double sliders create an impressive entry into a spacious lounge, while the combined kitchen/meals hub opposite boasts modern floor and splashback tiling, stainless-steel appliances, and a big WIP. Out back is where the most recent upgrades have taken place - the bathroom now a stunning sanctuary, tiled floor-to-ceiling with a frameless-glass-enclosed rain shower, separate tub, vanity & WC - and the laundry retiled and offering loads of storage, extending into a handy second WC. The surrounding grounds are low-maintenance with mostly lawn across the fenced backyard, a single driveway out front leading to a carport that runs the length of the house and verandah before connecting through a roller door into a secure single garage - perfect for storing a tinny or kayaks. If you're a water sports fan, this location is ideal with its walking distance proximity to Port River and Semaphore Beach, just a 5-minute drive. Buying here also puts you within a short stroll of the train station, Port Adelaide's historic centre/dining precinct, and a mix of state and private schooling.
