58 Tynte Street, North Adelaide, SA 5006

The paint is still drying on the red carpet reno of one of Adelaide's earliest homes circa 1851, featuring modern architect-designed additions that have also seen a fab makeover.

The two-storey Torrens-titled home is just two doors away from mouth-watering Perryman's Bakery - the custard Danishes are to die for - and, across the street, Cayden's legendary barista skills at Caffeteca. Work off all those calories in the East Parklands en route to more feasting in Melbourne Street or walk the other way to sample the delights of O'Connell Street. We should mention the shopping's pretty amazing too!

Glittering as this cafe lifestyle is, you'll love coming home. Close the front door and immerse yourself in a private and supremely stylish world of relaxation and entertaining with three separate living areas, a stunning master bedroom suite, guest bedroom, combined laundry/powder room and auto garage with rear laneway access.

Two original downstairs rooms offer flexibility as sitting, dining and study spaces. Use them as you will; enjoy their cottage charms including a gorgeous working fireplace.

Invite family and friends to celebrate Christmas under the spectacular barrel-vaulted roof of the main open-plan living area - a window to the sky that imparts an airy courtyard feel to the dining space, also featuring a pot belly stove for cosy winter ambience.

Beautiful Brazilian slate flooring complements an exposed bluestone wall and the sleekest of designer kitchens with Caesarstone bench tops. Friends can sit up at the breakfast bar and keep you company while you cook the food you love to share with brand new Bosch appliances.

When guests arrive, the queen-size bedroom above the kitchen promises a comfortable and private stay with its own staircase access, floor-to ceiling built-in robes and a wall of banquette seating.

Upstairs rooms in the original home have been transformed into a luxurious master bedroom suite. They include a king-size bedroom with polished timber floors, walk-in robe and sparkling porcelain-tiled bathroom with a rain shower and bath.

Renovated to an impressively high standard with both contemporary flair and deference to heritage, this inner-city home is uniquely inspiring among low maintenance, lock-up and leave properties. Grab it before someone else does!
