Spread over 3 titles with 3 street frontages on some 3685sqm (approx), you've driven past it many times, admired its fabulously wide frontage and fantasized about the life you'd lead beneath the luxurious spread of its terracotta-tiled rooves.
Well, now your day has come
Surrounded by some of Woodville's finest and most interesting properties, No. 90 Woodville Road is now on the market - a picture of 1920's grandeur and gentility, garlanded by sweeping verandahs and estate-like grounds concealing a pool and court, with wider views across the St Clair Oval opposite.
Such greenery, such space; these privileges come with the territory - some 3,685sqm of prestigious Woodville earth spanning three Titles. In short, the area's largest private landholding and a prime candidate for future redevelopment.
But, for now, the march of progress can wait.
Have a look at this handsome place - that lovely stuccoed exterior, those fine fretwork verandas, those blazes of leadlight.
If it looks to you like a renovation executed with the utmost precision, you'd be spot on. In fact, it won an HIA award for best renovation in 2001. Celebrated Adelaide builder Ross Lang nailed the transformation which includes a palatial family wing, first-floor kids'/guest domain and separate four-car garage. Where reclaimed and replica materials meet the kind of old-fashioned craftsmanship that some claim you just can't find anymore.
Add to this a wonderfully private parents' wing, sumptuous reception rooms with smokeless fireplaces and exquisite ceilings, a spectacular JAG kitchen kitted out with Miele magnanimity, a walk-in pantry and wine cellar, and you have a recipe for forever family bliss.
Of course, ideas of fun have changed over the years. Where once the magnificent curve of a circular bay may have held a piano or card table, a 120-inch screen now materializes to provide home-cinema entertainment on demand.
But why limit yourself to life indoors when you can add verandah dining, floodlit tennis and pool parties to your entertaining arsenal? Or wander Woodville Road for trendy ethnic food experiences and a quick city-train connect?
There's more of course as time will tell if you allow your fantasies self-fulfilment and steer your destiny towards Woodville's premiere address.
