Open Saturday 18th November 3-3.30PM
Step into history at 171-173 Halifax Street, a captivating property that merges heritage charm with modern adaptability. This two-storey gem, built in the 1880s, is one of the first commercial properties/residences within Adelaide's CBD.
Recently zoned for commercial use, the ground floor boasts expansive open-plan spaces, thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of a modern workplace. The renovated kitchen, with sleek grey cabinets, modern appliances and easy-to-clean tiled floors, provides a contemporary touch. The massive windows along the front and side and the glass block windows from an adjoining courtyard allow natural light to cascade through, creating an inviting and productive atmosphere. With ample storage space and a convenient powder room the ground floor is ideal for a range of businesses, from professional offices to creative studios, or pull the blinds at night and relax in your inner-city space.
Beneath ground level lies the basement, a versatile space consisting of four separate rooms. With power already connected, this area is primed for storage or, with a touch of creativity, could serve a variety of purposes. The potential of this space is vast, limited only by your imagination.
On the upper level the heritage features create a residential haven. Three bedrooms await, each offering a sense of space and comfort. The main suite, with a generous walk-in robe and leading to a large verandah, exudes luxury and sophistication. The large bathroom includes a spa bath, separate shower, toilet and bidet, and European laundry, and caters to both practicality and relaxation. This level can be maintained as a single residential residence or, with some thoughtful renovations, could be transformed into a self-contained living space for rental or occupancy.
The architectural significance and historical value of this property is impressive. It stands as a testament to Adelaide's early development, representing a fine early example of two-storey buildings in the city.
Ideally located, you'll be close to parks and reserves, such as Marshmallow Playground and Victoria Park so you can enjoy leisurely walks and be close to nature. It's on the free bus loop, so you can hop into town. St. Andrew's Hospital and Adelaide Central Market are close by, as well as plenty of restaurants and cafes flooding the Hutt Street dining precinct such as Ballaboosta, La Trattoria Restaurant and Pizza Bar, and The Original Coopers Alehouse.
The property's zoning and layout offer a rare investment opportunity. Rent out the downstairs as a commercial space, capitalise on the upper level's residential potential and explore the exciting prospect of a dual-income stream or just live in and enjoy the exciting cosmopolitan atmosphere. This historic and enchanting property could be your next venture into Adelaide's rich tapestry. Experience the past with an eye on the future at 171-173 Halifax Street.
