Auction Sat, 28th Mar - 1pm (USP)
By the time you reach the plaque on its bluestone face declaring Lilly Cottage c1880, this double-fronted bluestone beauty has already done its job, tugging at the heartstrings with its picketed charm and timeless proportions just metres from the buzz of Unley Road.
What waits beyond that storybook façade is a home that has been thoughtfully reimagined for modern living, thanks to a full-scale 2022 renovation and rear extension that carries the original cottage forward in one elegant, uninterrupted sweep toward light, garden and alfresco.
The result is a beautifully resolved three-bedroom home where soaring ceilings, ornate roses and restored heritage details anchor the front rooms, before engineered timber floors guide the plan toward a crisp shaker-style kitchen, slick wet areas and stackable glazing that dissolves the boundary between inside and the sun-soaked north facing rear garden. You've made it home.
Open the door to:
• 'Lilly Cottage' c1880, a double-fronted bluestone cottage with a full 2022 renovation and sympathetic rear extension
• Soaring ceilings, decorative ceiling roses and classic heritage proportions through the original rooms
• A flexible layout with a central dining room that can double as a fourth bedroom
• A stone-topped kitchen with a 900mm steam oven and air fryer and 5 ring glass cooktop, integrated dishwasher and deep storage integrated neatly into its timeless shaker-style silhouette
• A custom coffee station and laundry area and thoughtful joinery details throughout the kitchen and living zones
• Custom built-in robes and storage solutions designed to maximise space across the home
• An ensuited guest bedroom offering comfort and privacy for visitors or extended family
• A showpiece main bathroom with underfloor heating, freestanding bath, artisan floor tiling, dual vanity, marble benchtop, brushed brass tapware and elegant arched mirrors
• Stackable glazing opening the living zone directly to the covered alfresco terrace
• A north-facing rear garden that captures all-day light across the lawn and landscaped beds as well as landscaping to the front garden and vine pergolas to the side ensuring maximum privacy.
• Secure rear lane access delivering the rare Parkside luxury of parking for two vehicles
• Ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning supported by additional split-system comfort
• A zoned pass to Parkside Primary and Glenunga International High School
Close the door on:
⁃ Dark inner-city cottages that never quite escape their original footprint. Here, the rear extension and north-facing orientation ensure light, flow and genuine living space
⁃ Compromised parking situations common this close to the city. Rear lane access provides secure off-street parking for two vehicles
⁃ Homes that promise lifestyle but still require a car for everything. From here, cafés, restaurants and the CBD are all within easy reach
Parkside has long been prized for the way it balances leafy character with genuine city proximity, and Dunks Street places you right in the quiet thick of the action. With St Ali Cafe just metres away, the boutiques and dining strip of Unley Road around the corner, King William Road within walking distance and the CBD only minutes away, this pocket delivers the kind of lifestyle most inner suburbs promise but few truly achieve.
