“Glenmohr”

Marlborough Street College Park is without doubt one of Adelaide’s most exclusive and highly sought after addresses renowned for its gracious residences and wide treelined beauty. Properties are tightly held, and this magnificent villa is no exception.

Offered to the market for the first time in over thirty five years, this is a rare opportunity for a new generation to cherish this magnificent family home.

Dating back to the late 1870s and named “Glenmohr”, this elegantly disposed villa bears all the hallmarks of outstanding Victorian craftsmanship. Its highly versatile floorplan has been beautifully extended and provides outstanding scope to further enhance or reconfigure if desired, subject to approvals.

Centrally positioned and set well back from the street, the captivating Aldgate Sandstone frontage with bluestone sides, an ornate lace veranda and bay window is gently elevated above a lush front lawn edged by manicured hedges and a seasonal symphony of glorious perennials.

From the wide double arched hallway with high ceilings and polished boards, the generously proportioned principal rooms include fireplaces and ornate ceiling roses, and are currently disposed as four bedrooms, including one with an ensuite, an elegant sitting room plus a study.

In addition, a storeroom, a modern bathroom with a tub and blade wall shower, and a large cellar room accessed by stairs.

Extended open plan living adds a contemporary edge to the home’s refined style. Warmed by a gas fire and bathed in light from a series feature windows, casual meals and dining spill through French doors that connect to and embrace the idyllic outdoors.

The kitchen with shaker style cabinetry, incorporates a range of Miele appliances, a central island bench, a concealed walk-in pantry with adjacent laundry.

Indoor living stretches through to a private dining courtyard dappled by ornamental pears and edged by clivia and clipped Murraya to one side, and a colonnaded terrace to the other, on which to sit and soak up the glory of the idyllic rear garden that forms both a peaceful haven and entertainer’s paradise.

This superb home with its blue ribbon position, close proximity to St Peters College presents a once in a generation opportunity for the discerning buyer.
