A rare opportunity to own one of the most picturesque bluestone villas in tightly held College Park, one of the most exclusive and sought after suburbs in Adelaide. This gem is situated on a generous allotment of 1,084sqm and is set amongst many other beautiful character homes in this heritage area.
Built in 1885, this charming bluestone villa has been completely renovated to the most exacting standards under the watchful eye of renowned heritage architect, Sally Young. No detail has been overlooked, the renovation of this original home is flawless and with few peers.
To the rear of the original residence, the current extension has been updated to allow comfortable family living with further opportunity to add a new extension, to suit your own tastes and requirements. Council approval is currently in place for a large, contemporary extension, including ample side-by-side garaging, a second storey, stair access and extension to the already large cellar and designer swimming pool to further enhance and complete this property.
The renovation and restoration of this property exudes quality and attention to detail. The front fence is arguably the grandest on Harrow Road, built from solid bluestone and locally made cast iron. The beautifully renovated home features towering 3.7m ceilings, original fireplaces, Baltic pine floorboards, Plantation shutters and custom joinery throughout with all of the character features you would expect such as leadlight windows, deep cornicing and ceiling roses. Also showcased is a stunning and timeless, yet contemporary bathroom featuring Carrara marble, underfloor heating and the highest end fixtures and fittings.
With a flexible floor plan currently comprising 4 bedrooms, expansive dressing room to master, study and both formal and informal living areas, this home will suit a growing family.
This rare offering is in close proximity to some of the best schools Adelaide has to offer including St Peters College, PAC and Wilderness, as well as being zoned for the highly sought after primary schools of Walkerville and East Adelaide. Within walking distance of CBD and Norwood Parade shopping precinct, take a walk along the leafy streets to local playgrounds, cafes and shops or ride your bike along the linear trail at the end of the street to the city, Botanic Gardens, Adelaide Zoo or Adelaide Oval to watch a game of AFL or cricket.
