About this property

A classic Torrens Title cottage with its finger firmly on Parkside's pulse…

Old enough to have character, thoroughly restored for the way we live now - 3 Dunks Street puts a C1890 cottage right in the thick of a postcode that refuses to let life get boring.

Behind a pretty-as-a-picture frontage, the old and new get along beautifully. High ceilings bring the breathing room, timber-look floors dial up the warmth, and a north-facing lounge pulls sunshine into the equation, giving you an easy living zone that feels good from the moment you walk in.

A central hallway keeps two bedrooms nicely tucked away, ready to sleep, host or work depending on what the week demands.

Then things get social.

The kitchen comes armed with stainless-steel appliances, but it's the open positioning overlooking an adjoining dining zone with outside access via French doors that steals the show. Morning coffee, dinner for two, grazing boards for more – pull up a chair and the conversation takes care of itself.

An updated bathroom adds a fresh final note, pairing a wide vanity and corner shower with the practicality of a separate WC and laundry.

Outside, an entertaining deck gives long lunches somewhere to linger, while a sweep of lawn leaves room for four-legged friends, little legs, or bare feet in the sunshine. Established greenery wraps it all up with just enough privacy to forget how close you are to everything.

Ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, ceiling fans, built-in robes, and permit parking round out the practicalities.

And then there's Parkside itself. Pickle in the Middle for brunch, a Mother's Milk for coffee, The Earl for a pub feed, Dolly for cocktails - Unley Road and Duthy Street put everything within strolling distance, while the CBD is close enough to walk or ride. Throw in zoning for Parkside Primary and Glenunga International High, elite private schooling nearby, and Greenhill Road ready to send you coast or Hills-bound in seconds, and everything falls into place.

A cottage with history, a postcode with plenty happening – 3 Dunks Street puts you right where you want to be.
