Held by the same family for 42 years, this much-loved family home bursting with potential is ready to offer a new lease on life and an opportunity to exercise your creative style in a historic pocket of beautiful Belair.
Positioned on a very generous 1983m2 allotment, discover an Italian-inspired, historic freestone C.1938 mansion-style homewith all the lofty privacy of elevated bush surrounds.
Offering five bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, two living spaces, a study and combined kitchen meals, a priceless opportunity presents for an esteemed builder or ambitious home renovator to create their dream home - perhaps inspired by picturesque northern Italy - in the Adelaide foothills.
A facade of locally quarried free stone makes an impressive statement over two levels. This is the largest of five homes built by Giuseppe Carli on Pine Grove in the 30's and 40's, with a generous hint of his Italian heritage taking prized place in the arched balcony on the north of the home.
Along with the striking stone facade, more original features worthy of maintaining include natural timber floors of Jarrah, Tasmanian oak and pine, a grand entrance, high ceilings, dramatic freestone-wrapped open fireplaces.
Beautiful curved archways draw you from one room to the next, while treetop views from every window could place you anywhere in the world. See views of the CBD right across to the gulf Fleurieu Peninsula. Sitting on the balcony between the arches, or on the rustic balcony open air balcony, you could easily be in Alto Adige.
A central kitchen includes two ovens and plenty of storage and is perfectly functional for the time being, while well-placed for your future plans.
Built on strong stone foundations and presenting with a thrilling floorplan, this majestic mansion-style residence is ready for its revival.
Enjoy exploring Belair, from local coffee spots including Banana Boogie Bakery and Sheoak Cafe, special meals at Windy Point Restaurant, and pub Fridays at Belair Hotel. Shopping is a breeze at Coles Belair or nearby Blackwood, as well as Foodland Woolworths just down the hill at Mitcham Square.
