33 High Street, Burnside SA 5066

The history of this spectacular 17 main room home justifies its State Heritage status. Originally at the heart of village life, it was built as the Burnside Hotel in 1883 and was popular with both the bullock wagons as a stopover and for access to Waterfall Gully falls.

As a 'today' family home it enjoys the luxury of both eras. Glorious chandeliered ceilings to the formal rooms, luscious in size, sit alongside stained glass to informal areas. An extensive restoration was designed by acclaimed architect Geoff Redin to comfortably accommodate three generations under one roof. Visitors (and there may be many!) will be delighted with the resulting self-contained guesthouse. There’s valuable flexibility here: a simple ground floor re-design would unzip this space to further supplement a magnificent family home.

For the extended family, separate living arrangements are already ideally catered for with the following attributes:
> Both residences are completely independent with separate entry points
> Both are separately wired and metered
> Both have separate monitored alarm security codes but can be activated/deactivated
from each residence
> Both have separate electric hot water systems
> Both have separate kitchens and laundries and ensuites to the master bedrooms, each
have additional second bathrooms
> Both have separate outdoor entertaining areas if required
> Both can be secured for privacy internally if required via the double door system in the
ground floor hall
> The studio behind and above the garage is self contained with its own hot water
system, cooking facilities, bathroom and switchboard.

The house sings to you, as will the garden. Aficionados may well recognise David Cheney’s garden design genius. Serenity and privacy on 1240 m2 afford exclusive availability for every family celebration: think elegant cocktails for a wedding, and the pure magic of a ‘secret garden’ for a toddler party. Teen gathering in the massive rumpus room? Whatever the occasion, South Australia’s best reds will be perfectly (and safely!) cellared below.

We’ve long since abandoned the bullock cart, but today’s sleeker models are safe inside coach-house style triple garaging. There’s bonus living space too in the multi-use studio-retreat above.

Whilst steeped in history, Burnside remains sought after for the way we live now. At just 5km from the city, commuting is painless. Children have coveted access to Burnside primary school within skipping distance, and the best of Adelaide’s prestigious senior schools are close at hand.

An eclectic mix of local cafes and bistros cater for all tastes, from the iconic Feathers Hotel to Asian and pizza eateries. Many other amenities, including medical, childcare, lifestyle and fitness, are dotted into the street scapes, underpinning a privileged ease of life in this lovely suburb. And of course, there’s always the temptation of nearby Burnside Village for serious retail therapy…

The current owners loved and cared for this magnificent residence for an enviable 36 years. It’s incredibly easy to see why.
