17 Porter Street, Parkside

Some homes carry a kind of warmth that simply can't be built new - and this C1880 row cottage at the city's leafy fringe is exactly that. Two bedrooms, a rear studio, and a Tuscan-inspired courtyard that will have you rethinking what character really means. Both bedrooms open the footprint with built-in robes, beautifully modernised while holding tight to the heritage that runs through every room. Pine floorboards, 3m ceilings, ornate archways, and that particular essence that only comes with age - it's all here, perfectly preserved. The open lounge is made to conjure cosiness, while the stone-topped kitchen flows through French doors to a sun-drenched courtyard with a distinctly Tuscan feel. Whether you're entertaining a crowd or enjoying a quiet Sunday, inside and out work equally well. The clawfoot tub adds another layer of period charm to the bathroom, and the carpeted rear studio rounds out the floorplan as a second living zone or dedicated home office - flexible, private, and surprisingly generous for its usually petite postcode. Zoned to Parkside Primary and Glenunga International High School, secured with a private laneway and alarm system, and just minutes from the city fringe - this is Parkside at its most quintessential. • Private laneway access • BIRs to both bedrooms • Stand-alone studio versatility • Stainless-steel gas cooktop, oven & Miele dishwasher • Gorgeous Tuscan-style paved courtyard • Original fireplaces, timber floorboards & 3m ceilings • R/C heating & cooling • Alarm system • Prized zoning for Parkside Primary & Glenunga International High • Close by to Parkside Primary School, Pulteney Grammar, St Aloysius & Pembroke • Footsteps from Unley Road lifestyle amenities & Duthy Street cafés • Proximity to Frewville Foodland, King William Road precinct, Arkaba Village & Parkside Hotel • Lovely 10-minute walk to South Terrace • Council $1800.35PA • SA Water $237.18PQ • ES Levy $191.50PA • City of Unley • Built 1880 Disclaimer at noakesnickolas.com.au/privacy-policy | RLA 315571
