11 Castle Street, Adelaide, SA 5000

Be surprised with this exciting paradox of old and new, cosiness and spaciousness, in an absolutely fabulous lifestyle location tucked away off Halifax Street. If walls could talk the bluestone and old red brick would have some stories to tell in this stunning, freestanding, two-storey terrace home surrounded by eclectic inner city streets and lanes within walking distance of everything the city has to offer.

The first impression is striking with a fantastic ultra-modern 2011 extension alongside the traditional with an exterior renovation paying meticulous attention to detail gleaned from old photos. Built around the 1860’s, the facade complete with stone, brick quoin work, upstairs balcony, verandah, cast-iron lace work and balustrading presents with huge street appeal and point of difference.

With a modern twist and timeless charm, this spacious terrace is a delightful offering. Inside, traditional features include fireplaces, high ceilings, ceiling roses, multi-paned windows and joinery complemented with rooms furbished for modern living and comfort.

Entering the home, the sitting room boasts a fireplace with a welcoming gas fire and flows to the central dining room. Contemporary charcoal toned carpets are complemented by white walls and woodwork. Moving into the adjacent extension a stunning kitchen has much to offer with walk-in pantry, Essastone bench tops, glass splash backs and Smeg appliances. With a view to the street from the sink and fabulous café doors opening to the tiled outdoor alfresco courtyard on the alternate side of the supersized bench / breakfast bar, working and entertaining is a breeze.

To the rear of the home a studio or casual lounge has access to the outside and would make a cosy place to relax around the fireplace, extra space for visitors or for individual activities. From here the staircase leads to the second storey with a light filled casual living area or study at the top of the stairs opening to the rear balcony via French doors. Both bedrooms offer individual ensuites. The main has a large fitted-out walk-in robe and built-ins to the second. The laundry is well placed for drying in sunshine in front of the sliding doors or on the private balcony. The owners have enjoyed wood fires in the fireplace of the main bedroom and French doors lead out onto the front balcony to enjoy private moments while watching the world go by.

So close to local restaurants on Halifax or Hutt Street, walk to the city and Central Market or cycle the Frome bikeway, this is the perfect city home.
