Lovingly restored and meticulously maintained by the current owners, this truly impressive, character home on pristine grounds of approximately 1000m2, offers buyers an opportunity to own a piece of history.

The original owner and builder of the property was a prominent plaster merchant and manufacturer who made this home a show piece for some of his most intricate moulds. It is not often that you walk into a home and feel like you are privileged to view such a work of art, but this property offers many moments where you are overwhelmed with admiration for the quality of workmanship. The formal entrance and original, four main rooms all feature stunning, box vaulted ceilings, intricate coved cornicing and unique vents depicting birds, fruit and branches that really need to be seen to be believed.
This family residence offers three generous bedrooms all with built-in robes and ornate fireplaces. The glorious formal lounge centres around another open fireplace and with impressive picture windows offering an abundance of natural light, this room is perfect for entertaining guests. In addition, the property also has a separate study/home office with mezzanine storage and also a sitting room/library. The open plan dining area with vaulted skylights overlooks the modern kitchen with practical walk-in pantry/storeroom.

The outdoor entertainment area is accessible from the kitchen and offers a gazebo with inbuilt, original wood oven and sink. An outdoor spa (inclusion negotiable) is currently in place under the shade of the established wisteria, adding to the appeal of this home as a true entertainer.

The grounds are another element of the property that contribute to the feeling of grandeur. A wide full length driveway leads all the way down to a triple garage perfect for storing the family vehicles, boat or caravan. The adjacent double garage has had half converted into a workshop with plenty of storage space and the other half currently used as a home gym/games area.

At the very rear of the block is a secret garden, lovingly tended by the current owners with established cottage garden plants, herbs and a large variety of fruit trees including stone fruits like apricot, plumcot, apple, pear & nectarine as well as mandarin, quince and feijoa.

Rarely do homes of this quality come onto the market and your opportunity to purchase a property with some of Adelaide’s finest examples of plasterwork inside is here and now. For more information and to register your interest, please contact Megan Rowe at Harcourts Aqua.
