224 Frome St, Adelaide is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 1 parking spaces and was built in 1880. The property has a land size of 254m2 and floor size of 138m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in October 2021.
What began as Sir Thomas Elder's gift to the city's working class in the late 1890s, "Elder Mews" has just 13 of its original 48 row cottages left, making 224 Frome a bluestone gem amongst a rapidly rising skyline.
And what an opportunity it presents to relish a piece of city history; an iconic home with a tale to tell, up to 3.4m ceilings, rich timber floors, 2 enormous bedrooms with working fireplaces, and native garden seclusion from the urban buzz beyond the threshold
So relevant today, the home opens to a charming foyer, sidesteps into an office, greets a heritage-style bathroom shared by the adjoining bedrooms, and into a spacious central lounge featuring a fireplace, split system air conditioning, and a ceiling fan.
From the lounge, a stairway leads to vintage heaven - a sizeable cellar not normally found in footprints like this - nor the light-filled open plan kitchen and dining area that follows, glazed to take in a paved rear courtyard.
The kind of grounding, leafy outdoor privacy that no high-rise newbuild can match.
Also unique is the spacious attic large enough to convert for additional living space, a separate laundry, off-street parking for one, on-street parking for guests, and a pivot to just about everything else.
Which is all part of its bluestone charm fronting Frome; a prized position pulling you ringside for Adelaide's drawcard Fringe Festivals, Rundle and Hutt Street precinct's plethora of restaurants and bars, the greater CBD, Universities, RAH, and SAHMRI facilities all a few stops away via the city's free tram or bus.
And just 1km from the GPO, it makes paying for fuel a thing of the past
