361 Carrington Street, Adelaide, SA 5000

Adelaide's East End provides the fashionable setting for this pretty little terrace, steps from Hutt Street's vibrant cafe and restaurant scene. We can't remember the last time one of these came up for sale, so best not to dawdle if you want a look in.

Three double bedrooms and two bathrooms make it ideal for couples, sharers and single-again types with a kid or two, looking to lap up the cafe culture, manicured heritage and parklands recreation - all within cooee of city workplaces, theatres, shops, unis, colleges and schools.

Young or old, this 1880s blast from the past is set to give you serious cred, even if you're just looking to invest. Right now, it's pulling in $460 a week on a periodic lease and there will never be any shortage of quality tenants eager to live here!

A balcony and roof terrace provide cute upstairs hideaways for two of the bedrooms while knocked-through lounge and dining spaces set the stage for good times with family and friends. These flow through to a spacious kitchen with a European-style laundry, a bathroom and ivy-screened courtyard, where you can dance till dawn in paved privacy and park the car, though wheels aren't a necessity.

While very livable, this city pad would benefit from a bit of sprucing and is ripe for a Paddington-style makeover. If this is your thinking, you'll love that development approval has already been granted to gut and open it up right up, with lots of glass and an ultra mod 2-pac kitchen. The third bedroom gets divvied into an ensuite and walk-in for the master bedroom, leaving an existing bathroom as the ensuite for the one at the rear.

If you want it, and you will; make sure you're perfectly poised to take control as we can't promise another of these any time soon!
