19 Hughes Street

C1890 classic cottage with more space, soul, rear studio perks AND triple parking on Unley's most prized street…

Finding the perfect harmony between turn-of the-century character, a contemporary extension and Unley’s cosmopolitan lifestyle – this single-frontage cottage somehow balances it all on one of the suburb’s most prestigious tree-lined streets.

Displaying all the charm of its deep history from the front and an unassuming side-by-side triple-car garage accessed from the valuable rear lane access, step inside and you’ll quickly realise this three-bedroom home offers more space, more soul, and more surprise than most of its kind.

From the high decorative ceilings to the ornate archways and feature fireplaces that punctuate its original rooms, the past is everywhere you look, yet its solid brick extension enticingly draws you into the present.

Uniting not one but two living zones with a remodelled kitchen and dining room accompanied by stained-glass cathedral windows, a secret set of stairs descend to a cellar where you can safely store your most prized vintages and pull out a bottle of bubbly to mark life’s milestones.

French doors push through to a beautifully paved courtyard and open-air verandah, where palm and citrus trees frame afternoons of entertaining, evenings of unwinding, and weekends that drift between indoors and out.

Perhaps the most unexpected gift of this address tops that ultra-rare triple garage: a self-contained three-room loft. Designed and savoured as an art studio, its kitchenette, full bathroom, air-conditioning and timber deck would present the ultimate guest retreat or Airbnb escape – an inspiring space to host, work, or create.

Nostalgic in its bones, contemporary in its comforts, and unmatched in its position – this is a home that embodies Unley’s stature and soul…
