Heritage charm meets contemporary excellence at The Olive Grove, a quaint circa 1890s stone cottage nestled on the city’s southern edge.

Lovingly transformed by its previous owners, this historic two-bedroom abode moves into the 21st century with its fresh redesign, becoming a home where modern living is second nature.

An olive tree – a nod to the home’s namesake – greets you at the entrance of this home, setting the tone for this residence. Inside, natural light flows throughout the house to its open-plan kitchen, which features rafted ceilings and sleek tiled floors. The heart of the home is undoubtedly this spacious hub, its dynamic layout encouraging long conversations, dinner parties and family gatherings. What’s more, every detail has been considered in this transformed space. An island bench with an induction cooktop and breakfast bar elevate the kitchen’s functionality, while stainless steel appliances, timber pull handles and stone benchtops add to its stunning appeal.

However, the seamless transition between the indoor space and the rear deck is why The Olive Grove is an entertainer’s dream. Past the foldable doors, the deck leads to an alfresco pavilion complete with a wood fire pizza oven and built-in bench seating. The garden is also immaculate. Think level lawns, well-maintained hedges and enough greenery you’ll forget this home is just on the city’s edge. Weekends at home don’t feel wasted – between sun-soaked pizza nights and peaceful evenings with your partner, this space caters for all.

Retreating indoors, modern living and heritage charm strike a balance in the front half of the house. The central living room, fit with an ornate fireplace, high ceilings and plantation shutters, is cosy – the perfect escape from the bustle of the home’s hub. Warmth arrives from the timber floors, elevating the space’s timeless appeal. Likewise, the two carpeted bedrooms are designed for relaxation. Both are light-filled and peaceful; the front-room also features a built-in robe and north-facing window to filter in lush, indirect sunlight. The bathroom itself continues on in the same vein as the rear half of the home – modern and spacious. The fully-tiled room features a walk in shower, a large benchtop and high windows, too.

The Olive Grove’s location is also enviable. Not only are you close to the vibrant collection of cafes and restaurants on Glen Osmond Road (Jenny’s Bakery and Pinco Deli are a weekend must-try), Hutt Street, the South Parklands and Victoria Park Racecourse are also only a stone’s throw. Further, this home is zoned Parkside Primary School andGlenunga International High School.

Whether you’re looking for an investment property (this home has an amazing track-record as an AirBnB) or a forever home, The Olive Grove is open for inspection now. Find out more.
