This fabulous 1910 return veranda federation villa has an enviable range of authentic heritage features seldom found in today’s marketplace. Built in 1910, it has been extensively and lovingly renovated in a manner which maintains the style of the original period but incorporates modern features such as ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, security system and a stunning French provincial kitchen that any chef would love.

Located on a huge corner block on Adey Rd, arguably Blackwood’s most prestigious address, this is not simply the purchase of a new home, but an investment into your family’s future and a location and home that is second to none. With the timeless features of 12ft ceilings, original-style cornices, skirting boards and architraves, as well as new fireplaces and cast-iron inserts with new marble surrounds, the current owners have poured their heart and soul into making this a home that reflects its history whilst providing the comfort our modern day lives can’t do without.

After a long day at work come home to the entirely new and enormous bathroom, complete with open fireplace and freestanding bath to relax, unwind and savour the moment. Now this is living.

The bespoke French Provincial styled kitchen with the antique replica Falcon Stove with 6 burners and double oven is to die for. The centrepiece of this huge room with casual dining and lounge, this kitchen is a space and place for not just cooking up a storm, but relaxed conversations over cups of coffee, morning tea and scones with jam and cream.

Featuring glass cabinet doors, designer double folding pull-out storage shelves, gorgeous white porcelain sink and granite bench tops, there’s literally nothing to do here except enjoy the delight of family and friends who have dropped in for that cup of coffee.

The formal dining room features a beautiful Victorian style white marble fireplace, flanked by built-in bespoke cupboards and a simple yet elegant chandelier to dine under.

With two huge bedrooms and plans approved for an extension with another two bedrooms this is that once in a lifetime opportunity to secure that truly unique and iconic home. The expansive grounds of 1903m2 (approx.) are styled as a French parterre garden and contain vegetable plots; a chicken coop; rabbit hutch; rainwater tank; four-car garage and workshop; an iron gazebo; water fountain; huge lawns and lots more room to add your own ideas. Even the beautiful wrought iron gates for the property have been specifically sourced from other heritage-style properties.

The current owners have council-approved plans for a large extension incorporating two bedrooms, an ensuite and walk-in robe as well as a laundry/butler’s pantry, all sympathetic to the original design. Some initial work on this extension has already begun. The air conditioning unit has been specified with extra capacity to include this extension, and two ducts are already in place ready for the extension.

Conveniently located close to everything Blackwood has to offer – excellent schools, a variety of shops, fantastic cafes, bakeries and restaurants, medical facilities, public transport links, and the Wittunga Botanic Gardens. Additionally, it is a short trip to Flinders University, Flinders Medical Centre, Westfield Marion, the beachside areas, Mitcham Shopping Centre, and many other facilities.
