A charming coastal residence just outside of Adelaide.
< 1 min
This character home in the seaside location of Glenelg South offers a historic property with a colourful past reinvigorated by a sympathetic renovation.
The two-storey, 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2-car garage home conjoins what was two separate dwellings into a home of epic proportions.
Inside, the home features triple brick walls, polished timber flooring, three-metre lofty ceiling on both levels, wooden plantation shutters and more modern details.
The kitchen offers stone benchtops and a marble-tiled splashback, flowing towards the lounge dining and out towards the rear courtyard. Also adjacent to the kitchen is a secondary undercover courtyard.
Elsewhere the lower level sees a formal lounge – complete with a fireplace – and two additional bedrooms.
Upstairs one finds the study alongside another family room, also complete with a fireplace and two additional bedrooms.
Connected via the rear courtyard comes a bathroom or laundry and a twin garage with a workshop/storage space.
Undoubtedly landing in one of the best coastal locations in South Australia, the home is surrounded by popular cafés and is nearby to the cosmopolitan Glenelg strip, South Esplanade, and beaches.
