24 Albert St, Payneham SA 5070, Australia

Behind a charming picket fence and framed by a leafy street presence, this beautiful c.1915 Federation Villa captures the elegance of a bygone era while offering thoughtful modern updates for today’s lifestyle. From the moment you step through the gate and onto the tessellated-tile entrance, the home makes a striking first impression, showcasing timeless character and refined craftsmanship.

Inside, the classic features that define Federation architecture are immediately evident. Pressed-tin ceilings, polished timber floors, decorative fireplaces and soaring ceilings combine to create a home rich in heritage charm. The central hallway leads to four generous rooms filled with natural light and character, offering flexibility for bedrooms or formal living and dining if desired. The main bedroom enjoys the comfort of its own walk-in robe and private ensuite, while the remaining rooms provide excellent accommodation for family or guests.

Toward the centre of the home, the layout opens into a spacious kitchen, meals and family living area designed for everyday living and entertaining. The renovated kitchen blends modern functionality with timeless style, featuring Caesarstone Altera Blanca benchtops, a premium Turner Hastings Cuisine double-bowl fine fireclay sink in gloss white, SMEG dishwasher, under-cabinet LED lighting, skylight and a high-flow pull-down mixer tap.

Bathed in natural sunlight and overlooking the garden, the open plan living area enjoys year-round comfort with split-system reverse-cycle air conditioning, while high ceilings and ceiling fans enhance airflow and space. From here, the home flows effortlessly into a stunning sunroom framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, capturing peaceful garden views and creating the perfect space to relax with a book or morning coffee.

The home also offers impressive versatility with a fully converted attic retreat on the upper level, ideal as a fifth bedroom, home office, studio or private teenage escape. This space is also equipped with its own reverse-cycle air conditioning, making it comfortable all year round. The recently refreshed main bathroom continues the home’s timeless appeal, beautifully appointed with a classic clawfoot bath, new shower, oval edge-lit LED mirror and updated lighting.

Stepping outside, the property continues to impress with a pergola area designed for year-round outdoor entertaining. This space sits alongside a picturesque English-style garden filled with established plantings, creating a peaceful and private setting for gatherings with family and friends. A shed, carport and generous driveway provide parking for up to four vehicles, adding practical convenience to the property.

Positioned in a highly sought-after location, the home offers outstanding lifestyle convenience. It is just a short bus trip to the city and moments from The Parade, the Avenues precinct, Marden Shopping Centre and Firle Shopping Centre. Families will also appreciate the sought-after school zoning for East Adelaide Primary School, Trinity Gardens Primary School and Marryatville High School.

Beautifully blending historic character with thoughtful upgrades, this elegant Federation villa offers a rare opportunity to secure a timeless home in one of Adelaide’s most desirable eastern suburbs.
