10 Matilda St, Gilberton SA 5081, Australia
Built by the current owners 23 years ago, architecturally designed to be the perfect downsizer, this delightful property has been exactly that.
Being a relatively new build, you can have the confidence that it was built using modern construction techniques and materials including a steel frame.
Walking through the quaint picket gate, through the perfume of the rose garden, you feel so welcomed as you enter the property, it is only then that you will begin to fully appreciate the benefits of the thoughtful design of this cottage with its contemporary attributes such as the high ceilings in the wide and welcoming entry hall that are carried right through the property.
Either side of the entry hall you have 2 of the 3 generously sized bedrooms. The bedroom to the left features a study incorporated as part of the floorplan making it a multi-purpose office, additional lounge or consulting space if the bedroom was not required. The bedroom opposite comes with built-in robes.
These 2 bedrooms are serviced by the spacious family bathroom with classic and stylish features.
Making your way along the entry hall, you pass through a light-filled passage featuring full-height windows and glass sliding doors that provide views and direct access into the pretty courtyards, on either side of this unique passageway. At the other end of the passageway is the heart and soul of this home – the open plan kitchen/living / dining room with the adjoining main bedroom suite.
This very spacious and bright living/kitchen/dining area features low maintenance and attractive tiled flooring and has easy access into the larger courtyard with its established low maintenance gardens.
The main bedroom suite is spacious with plenty of storage in the floor-to-ceiling walk-in robe. The ensuite bathroom is very well appointed, tastefully, and practically designed with tiled walls and a large vanity complimented by an equally large, mirrored cabinet providing added bathroom storage.
When the weather does not allow you to keep the sliding doors and windows open to enjoy the breezes, the fully ducted reverse cycle air conditioner, or the gas heater, depending on the season, will make sure that you are very comfortable, inside your very private and very secure home.
The home has a spacious carport for 2 cars with an auto door providing security from the street frontage, the driveway also allows for additional off-street car parking if required.
Gilberton is a fabulous suburb, surrounded by all the amenities that you could possibly need. Walk up the road to the cafes, restaurants, pubs and shopping centre at Walkerville. Or head into one of Adelaide’s most cosmopolitan streets, Melbourne Street with the parklands and Botanic Gardens only slightly further afield.
Perhaps you are a young family and schooling is a priority. Gilberton is close to some of the most sought-after public and private schools in Adelaide including Adelaide Botanic High School (a zoned school in 2025), St Andrews, Walkerville Primary, St Peters School and Wilderness.
There are great transport links into the city, or you can simply ride your bike along the Linear Park bikeway that follows the Torrens River.
