An authentic, 1880's Port Adelaide warehouse located in this brilliant State Heritage Area. Such homes are sought the world over, as harbour life and buzz, create a year round holiday atmosphere. It is significant that intact streetscapes and some of the most historically iconic places in South Australia are located in this area known as the McLaren Wharf Precinct, the cornerstone of the Port Adelaide waterfront renewal, evolving from the historic shipping and industrial harbour to a contemporary, upmarket residential, commercial and lifestyle destination. Adjacent is Dock One Precinct, the first residential development on Port Adelaide's historic waterfront, just 25 minutes from the city.

This three storey iconic building, has a gentle red brick exterior. The warehouse, originally a wool store, then Port Carriers, was converted to residential use in the 1990's. The architects divided it into 4 apartments retaining original cast iron column and steel beam construction with large exposed hardwood joists. Like a sculpture the three flights of the original oregon staircase cast shadows to create a beautiful artwork.

Flexible and versatile living spaces are of grand proportions with almost 500sqm of built area, think of any furniture/style and know it will fit. The walls invite your art collection.

The warehouse is rated highly efficient with thick walls and insulation, cross ventilation and the massive basement/cellar space assists in equalising temperatures, assisted by an economical slow combustion fire on entry level that warms the ground and is ducted to the upper level master bedroom, it keeps the house warm in winter and cool in summer.

Two bathrooms, the main with double showers, bathtub, ample storage and a skylight where the moon shines through. It's minimal and yet mildly ostentatious, the glow of the Jarrah floors is stunning. Low maintenance - you can lock up and leave.

With a larger than average granite benchtop and quality Jag kitchen with Jarrah and stainless appliances, cooking is no chore - you have integrated fridge alcove and dishwasher along with a walk in pantry and utility room with functional laundry adjoining the kitchen.

There's an elevated "Snug" it's a pod off the dining area, for quiet contemplation, reading or musing or stand up (Pulpit like) and give a speech when entertaining? This leads to a covered entertainment deck. The wonderful fully optioned stainless steel gas BBQ with hot and cold water is a would be chef's dream.

With options of three bedrooms on the upper level, one is currently used as a functional office space, ideal for home business. The elegant gallery shows off stunning angles and glazed walls at the head of the stairs and a library gallery adds another interest point.

The master bedroom is nothing short of over the top. It's huge and with French doors opening to roof top views and wafting sea breezes it will be your haven, a versatile bench accommodates yet another area to set up an office/library nook. The walk-in robe opposite the two way master bathroom is a luxury and the second bedroom also comes with walk-in robe.

The basement is set up as a "Man Cave" with boys toys and has several storage areas. A special feature is the hydraulic lift to exit and access the cellar for your motorcycles and is perfect for wine storage. It's The Great Escape from work or upstairs stress, a teen retreat or gallery/craft room with a third toilet and is so flexible due to the size - "Build it and they will come". There's secure lockable space for 2 cars inline alongside the warehouse with access via the basement.

The warehouse is located at the heart of galleries, markets, water activities, art venues, museums (maritime, railway, aviation). There's a calendar of festivals and special events. Cafes, restaurants and pubs are within walking distance and this is a rare opportunity to change your life from ordinary to extraordinary.

So with dolphins just 100 metres away and a quality of life sought the world over, get in this time as it's Port Adelaide at its best.
