A college park character bluestone with space, sunny gardens and a sparkling pool

Tucked quietly away where the city’s cosmopolitan edge gives way to tree-lined streets and birdsong, 12 Baliol Street rests on an idyllic no-through street – peaceful, private and perfectly placed within coveted College Park.

Behind its timeless façade, this character-rich bluestone home rises to grand 3.6m ceilings adorned with decorative roses, while stained glass catches the light and hardwood floors carry you gracefully through its original footprint.

Four generous bedrooms and a refined formal lounge anchor the home’s elegant beginnings, each room echoing the romance of its era before the layout unfolds into a modern dine-in kitchen and relaxed lounge domain designed for a more modern take on everyday living.

Then, in one seamless sweep, French doors open to a federation verandah – a picture-perfect perch overlooking landscaped gardens that stretch deep across the north-facing allotment, culminating in a sparkling solar-heated swimming pool primed for long, languid summers.

The grounds are substantial, established and beautifully considered; a rare sense of space so close to the city, with rolling lawns and garden vistas that feel more estate than suburban.

Already generous in scale and comfort, the home still leaves room to dream. The expansive rear invites a spectacular future addition (STCC), should you wish to take this grand classic to even greater heights.

Practicality keeps pace with beauty: a 12.5kW solar system ensures the air-conditioned interior runs with impressive efficiency, while secure gated parking, alarm and intercom provide peace of mind.

To the rear, garaging with 3-phase power and workshop potential caters to hobbyists, tinkerers and those who simply appreciate free space to create.

Quiet and private, yet undeniably cosmopolitan – just a short stroll from the prestige of St Peter’s College, the serenity of the Adelaide Botanic Garden and the vibrant fringe festivities of Adelaide’s East End – this grand yet inviting bluestone beautifully honours its past, lives brilliantly in the present and leaves the future wide open…
