3B Todd Street, Port Adelaide, SA 5015

Spread over four levels, this superb 1880's two bedroom warehouse conversion offers a unique opportunity to secure a character filled residence, right in the heart of the exciting historic Port Adelaide precinct.

From the moment you step through the red front door you'll be enthralled by what this amazing space offers. Boasting soaring ceilings with exposed red brick walls, raw timber columns and polished floorboards.

The open plan kitchen is complete with stainless steel bench top, stainless steel three door ice chest, stainless steel oven, dishwasher and gas cooktop. And an amazing original Simpson & Sons walk-in bank vault makes for the perfect butlers pantry, with the bonus of a handy home office space secreted away in there as well!

In the uniquely themed industrial kitchen, an 'in wall' aquarium provides a tranquil conduit to the urban street scape (through the double garage), big noting the beautiful backdrop of the historical bluestone buildings that litter the expansive streetscape.

The spacious open plan living and dining area is complimented by an inviting combustion heater which flickers under the cosy landing and radiates heat through all levels. The 40ft ceiling makes the ultimate statement with a bank of skylights allowing natural light into the uncrowded living area that feature two thick central columns that steal the show.

Moving up the main staircase from the ground level you are greeted by a rustic and spacious mezzanine landing (level 2) with raw exposed red bricks creating the ultimate feature wall that competes for attention with the raw unfinished jarrah floorboards. This landing has previously been used as a home business office, second living area, and bar. It currently is used as a gluttonous walk in robe and sauna room.

Leading from the mezzanine area, a small set of stairs meets up to another generous open living area (level 3). As on the ground level, polished pine floorboards feature prominently. This indulgent space provides for a myriad of options that can be functionally utilised to further flatter the distinctive bohemian theme.

Accommodation is provided by two large bedrooms that feature sash windows that flood natural light into the overly generous bedrooms. The bedroom configuration has been cleverly designed with ultimate flexibility in mind, with the choice to easily convert the area into a greedy 'New York' style, one bedroom living space, or sensibly add another room to make it a more predictable 3 bedroom configuration.

The master bedroom boasts a walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom access. The second bedroom includes a built-in robe, and both are finished with the 'must have' stainless steel ceiling fans, that further adds to the non-conformist theme throughout.

The bathroom has been stylishly renovated with an impact walk-around shower. There's also the convenience of a second toilet on the ground floor.

Branching up from level 3 is a further staircase that opens up to the extensive roof top terrace (level 4) that ensures the ultimate dimension to this stunning property. The rooftop alfresco area is complete with plumbed hot water to an outdoor bathtub and shower.

Escape and indulge as you soak up the respite under the stars on a balmy summer evening, or reward yourself after your crisp morning fitness ritual, as the sun rises up over the hills.

A herb garden and decorative plants frame this secluded rooftop area, with hints of the shrubs visible from the street below, cleverly teasing at something more. Featured built in outdoor timber seating ensures ample room for guests, while an automatic watering system ensures the ultimate low maintenance theme of the modern property is not disrupted.

From this fourth level the expansive stunning views extend north up to the Port River along the oversize street that once housed Adelaide's major freight rail thoroughfare to the wharf. The entertaining space is once again stunningly excessive, boasting plenty of room for the essential summer BBQ, or evening drinks. Your friends will be drawn to the distinct warmth of the unique historic quarter as they listen to the town hall bells sound, as the sun sets over the iconic lighthouse.

Enjoy the benefits of being part of the newly announced Community Organic Garden due for completion in May 2014. This wharf side garden is literally 50 meters from your doorstep, and will create an innovative community hub for nearby residence to enjoy.

Drenched in history this building has witnessed a multitude of fascinating uses. It recently has been rewarded with a stunning conversion to a 'premier' residence. The initial warehouse conversion was named 'Colton Apartments' in honour of a previous owner of the building in the late 1800's. (1876 South Australian Premier, Sir John Colton.)

ideally positioned on the fringe of Dock One in the State Governments newly released 'Port Precinct Plan', this property is in the ultimate location to take advantage of either a residential, business or 'mixed use' lifestyle.

The property is also valuably zoned 'residential / retail' which opens up endless possibilities for the enterprising buyer.

The property was granted council permission for a breathtaking (upward) extension in 2008. Plans available on request.

On your doorstep is a bike and walking trail that hugs the river bank and links to the newly completed Port Loop Path, providing opportunity to make it a part of your fitness regime, or simply enjoy a bike ride along the river to the Fisherman's Wharf Market, Harts Mill or your favourite river front Restaurant or Pub.

Surrounded by inviting cafes, a five minute walk to the Port Adelaide Shopping precinct and transport, short drive to the funky Semaphore Road Cinema and Cafe Precinct, West Lakes Mall, Golf courses, schools, and the local beach, this is location is of a premium.

A truly amazing and inspiring residence that's sure to offer years of enjoyment and future growth in this developing and historical waterside precinct.

Miss out on this one, and you will do your 'BLOCK'!
