Walking distance to the City and Norwood Parade; this gorgeous two-bedroom character hideaway has been stylishly renovated and extended to please the modern single or couple, with a price guide of $390,000.

The 1905 cottage has a generous sense of light and space, blending the moderation of apartment-style living with the benefits of a freestanding home where you are free to enjoy the privacy of your own backyard.

Inside, the cottage layout is reassuringly familiar with two nicely proportioned double bedrooms flowing off a long hallway before it opens out into a generous lounge.

Beyond, architectural 2004 additions house the kitchen/meals, a second large living space where family and friends can gather or drift out through glass for stylish all-weather pergola dining and relaxation.

The simple white kitchen provides stainless steel appliances and is sleekly integrated within the open-plan design, with plenty of storage options and a privacy bar to assist that clutter-free look.

Here too is a chic full bathroom, separate laundry and more valuable storage, all neatly tucked away off the ceramic-tiled, main living area.

Splashes of colour here and there a feature wall break up the otherwise white interior where halogens sparkle from high ceilings and neutral carpets have been laid to welcome the new owner.

More bonus features include reverse cycle air conditioning, wall-to-wall built-ins in the master bedroom and gated side access that is great for bin and bike storage.

Dont be put off by the lack of on-site parking as street parking is plentiful; or by the semi-industrial neighbourhood that offers the same trend-setting potential as adjoining Kent Town and is wonderfully peaceful outside working hours.

In all, a rare and exciting opportunity: grab it while you can!
