7 George Street, Parkside, SA 5063

This architect's own home on 407m2 is just so cool, combining a classic 'row cottage' floor plan with a rustic-industrial aesthetic and crisp commercial detailing. Priority has been given to maximising storage and minimising energy consumption, making this a very easy and efficient home to live in. For a couple or small family, it's just ideal.

The deliberately simple floor plan delivers three good-sized bedrooms - each boasts spacious floor-to-ceiling built-ins - and two sparkling bathrooms, including divine master with sky-view ensuite and front courtyard aspect.

Meandering along the hallway towards the open-plan living spaces, beautiful Blackbutt underfoot, gorgeous garden vignettes a la Paul Bangay catch the eye. Windows are artfully placed to capture these horticultural highlights and are sashless, providing uninterrupted views and perfect rotational ventilation.

More eco credentials include solar hot water, ceiling fans and a sunshade on the northern side that takes its cue from commercial builds, just like the bagged brick walls and concrete counters - great insulators that also make this home feel reassuringly solid. It also runs on rainwater, which is beautiful for bathing in and under.

Nothing says welcome like a real log fire, here delivered with style and alacrity on a concrete plinth with adjacent wood store; a gorgeous winter warmer that makes you want to curl up with a good book and glass of wine plucked from nearby library shelves and a sub-floor cellarette.

A study nook and gorgeous entertainer's kitchen with a 3.6m island and stainless steel appliances have also been worked into the open-plan living spaces that embrace each new season through liberal glass. As the weather warms, roll back the giant glass slider to enjoy alfresco dining under the main roof and leafy courtyard privacy, with a cubby and splash of lawn where kids will love to play.

As for the location, it lives up to its name! The South Parklands are only about 100m away; you can walk or ride to the city in minutes, with shopping and dining hotspots just a pleasant stroll. A fantastic lifestyle you won't want to miss; see it this weekend!
