A charming slice of Adelaide’s most coveted suburb.
Located in the blue-ribbon suburb of Unley comes this charming 1900s freestanding villa.
Connecting the cobbled King William and Unley Road, the single-fronted, freestone villa lands with an open-plan extension, giving this deceptively long parcel a refreshed, modern interior.
The 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom, 2-car parking – a double lock up carport a rarity in Unley – offers plenty of street presence and a light-drenched home.
Inside, soaring ceilings and polished timber floors add to the home’s sense of space, with a striking open plan kitchen and rear family room that sprawls outdoors thanks to a wide set of stackable glass doors.
The kitchen is fitted with stone benchtops, Smeg appliances, a breakfast bar and an integrated fridge/freezer while the paved alfresco patio and pavilion make entertaining easy.
Elsewhere the home sees two generous bedrooms and an updated bathroom, the latter including a concealed European style laundry.
The home is on the doorstep of Mary Street’s cafes and fashion boutiques, restaurants within Hyde Park and Unley and within walking distance to the CBD.

After more than a year, prices have finally levelled out in prime central London, while outer London saw a small uptick in high-end prices from the previous quarter
The first quarter of the year brought some long-awaited signs of recovery in London’s luxury housing market, offering the first positive quarterly price growth since September 2022, according to a report from Savills on Wednesday.
After six consecutive quarterly price falls, luxury home prices in central London levelled out in the first three months of the year, with a 0.1% quarterly uptick in prices. The £3 million to £5 million (US$3.79 million to US$6.32 million) market saw a slightly larger increase of 0.3%.
Outer London’s luxury market saw greater quarterly price growth, with home prices up 0.8%, as some stability returned to mortgage costs and lured more buyers back to the market, according to the report.
All of this is evidence that the market is “in early stages of recovery,” according to Lucian Cook, head of residential research at Savills.
“The outlook for the housing market has certainly improved, partly because the mortgage market has recovered more quickly than expected,” Cook said in the report. “With the first rate cut rapidly coming into view and recessionary risks easing, greater stability has returned to the cost of mortgage debt, which has positively impacted domestic prime markets, where many buyers rely on borrowing, most notably in leafy outer prime South and West London, as well as the commuter belt.”
Outside of London, prices across the U.K. saw no quarterly growth heading into the beginning of the spring market, which is expected to bring higher levels of buyer activity in many regions.
Suburban regions saw prices dip just 0.1%, while urban areas—like Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland, and Bath and Oxford in England—saw prices increase by 0.6%.
Cook said regional buyers are more likely to be concerned about market uncertainty than London buyers in the lead up to the general election.
“As a result, buyers are still expected to be less committed until the dust has settled,” he said.
