Former warehouse now a trendy, luxury Port Adelaide home

A Port Adelaide home has a trendy open-plan style and all of the highlights of Port Adelaide at your fingertips.

Vendor Tim Green bought the property at 35 Liddon Place in 2021, attracted by its unique aesthetic and the abundance of desirable lifestyle amenities on his doorstep.

“I was looking for a house and I could only afford units at that time because of the bubble not bursting,” he said.

“But then I saw the ad and it just blew up, and straight away I was onto it.

The Port Adelaide property at 35 Liddon Place is on the market with a $1m to $1.1m price guide.

The property was once a warehouse.

It’s been transformed into a three-bedroom home.

“I wasn’t initially looking at Port Adelaide as a suburb but it had a lot of vibrant things going for it and as soon as I saw the photos I just said: ‘That’s mine’.

“A Greek family owned the entire strip of warehouses and from what I know the siblings turned the back end of this warehouse into a duplex, so there’s two of us with a similar facade, and it joins with the same warehouse walls.

“It’s got these massive pillars and framework coming from the roof, and the first time I walked in there I just wanted to put all my skateboards up on the wall on display because it has this huge navy blue that shoots up to the sky, and this massive ceiling fan and these long passages and it had a very cool feel.”

Mr Green says as impressive as the property was when he bought it, he has since made some upgrades, including waterproofing the decking, improving the ensuite, and updating the hot water system.

“It really is a fantastic place to live and it offers a great lifestyle,” he says.

The property spans two storeys.

It has an open floorplan with an outdoor entertaining area upstairs.

In the heart of Port Adelaide, it offers a great lifestyle.

“You can walk to Pirate Life, cafes and great pubs and it’s also really close to the beach.

“It’d be great for young families or a couple, and it’s also an investor’s dream because it pulls a good yield – it was pulling $770 from the last tenant I had in there, so it has great potential for investors because it offers that versatility by appealing to a range of tenants.”

The property offers some 333.2sqm of indoor and outdoor living space over its two levels and has three bedrooms, an upstairs study area that opens out to a rooftop outdoor entertainment area; a large open-plan kitchen, living, dining and family area, as well as a garage with automatic rollerdoor.

Mr Green said its clever layout made it a great entertainer.

“That top deck is quite large and the inside area is really roomy as well, so it has the space to host two conversations and has room to spread the party out over.”

Now wanting to buy a property in Tasmania, Mr Green says it’s time to say goodbye to Port Adelaide.

“It’s been a fantastic place to live.”

The property is listed with a $1m to $1.1m price guide.
