Last Listing description (November 2024)

So close to The Parade you can almost smell the sourdough baking at 30 Acres, your soon-to-be-local for long lunches and quick coffees, this 2-storey townhouse is also tranquilly tucked just off Kensington's famed High Street, ensuring its enviable strolling distance proximity to Adelaide's favourite east-end shopping precinct comes at no cost to peace or privacy.

Glorious natural light bathes each floor of this warmly inviting home. Downstairs, expansive floor to ceiling window banks and a screened slider are all that separate the combined living/dining area and a chef-ready kitchen with every mod con, from a brick paved rear courtyard with dappled shade for alfresco diners feasting beneath the pergola. Treacle-toned hybrid timber floors further soften this blissful social space and continue down a short passage to a handy powder room and the laundry.

Above, up to 3 bedrooms await ? all plush carpeted and kept cool or cosy as the seasons dictate, by ducted A/C. The front 2 are natural retreats, each fitted with built-in clothes storage, the larger with bespoke windows from which you can spy the grand steeple of a nearby church, the other boasting leafy views through tree-tops from an elegantly curved panelled arched window rising from the floor. Double doors open into the rear room, so it could work equally as an office, and the chic contemporary bathroom is central to all 3, offering a deep bath and shower either side of a stylish floating vanity.

The single garage will safely store your wheels here but, with every amenity one could require, whatever stage of life, just beyond the grassy front yard, a leisurely walk will get you most places. It's literally about 200m to the 'top of The Parade' and an array of cafes, restaurants, boutique clothing stores, supermarkets, health services, and the cinema. Top east-side schools like Marryatville, Pembroke and Loreto, are all a short walk or bike ride, and town is just 15 minutes by bus. For luxurious yet low-maintenance living in a 5-star location, this sets the benchmark!
