Grand historic landmark residence C.1880 with parkland frontage on one of north Adelaide’s premier boulevards.

With absolute parkland frontage on one of North Adelaide’s most highly sought after terraces, this grand residence forms part of a landmark group and offers the astute buyer a unique slice of history with all the benefits and convenience its exclusive city fringe position has to offer.

Designed by leading colonial architect Joseph English in the boom period style, the house is part of a beautifully positioned early townhouse group designed to attract wealthy buyers into what remains to this day, one of Adelaide’s most affluent and coveted precincts.

The stately bluestone comprises architectural elements including a balcony with intricate iron lace work, stained glass, bay window, soaring ceilings with magnificent decorative roses, a grand staircase, polished boards and marble mantlepieces.

The floorplan is both spacious and flexible. Gracious formal reception rooms on the ground floor include an elegant drawing/living room, adjacent library/study and a stylish dining room bathed in northerly light.

To the rear, open plan living evokes a contemporary country feel, with a cathedral style ceiling and soaring conservatory windows taking advantage of the northerly aspect.

At its heart, the farmhouse style kitchen with a walk-in pantry and granite countertops sits between casual dining and living. A laundry and heritage-style bathroom are conveniently placed, as is the cellar beneath that will hold approximately 1700 bottles.

French doors open to undercover alfresco living dappled by a glorious vine, and an expansive paved courtyard garden with valuable end of lane off-street parking accommodating up to four vehicles and doubling as a large undercover entertaining space if required.

Up the magnificent cedar staircase, family accommodation comprises four bedrooms and two newly renovated designer bathrooms.

The master suite is beautifully disposed, with French doors opening to a balcony overlooking the sweeping gum studded parkland acreage opposite. With no expense spared, the walk-in dressing room boasts bespoke joinery, and the ensuite is adorned with handmade Spanish tiles and indulgent heated Italian limestone floors and towel rail and exclusive Falper and Catalano bathware.

This is a very rare chance to secure one of Lefevre terrace’s most admired and significant historic residences with a highly coveted position that is second to none opposite the idyllic Parklands, with the boutique lifestyle of O’Connell Street around the corner, Adelaide Oval, The Torrens Precinct, Adelaide University campuses and the CBD, all a short walk away.
