Built c.1930 and cherished by the same family for over 32 years, this landmark residence unfolds across a magnificent 1,677sqm parcel in one of Adelaide’s most tightly held enclaves. Blending timeless character with modern comfort, it offers exceptional scale, multiple living zones and a resort-style rear garden with swimming pool and guest retreat. Opposite the green expanse of Kensington Gardens Reserve, this is an extremely rare opportunity to secure an elegant family estate in a truly coveted setting.

Set beyond a broad, tree-lined frontage, the home makes an immediate impression with its grand, traditional verandah perfect for your morning coffee whilst enjoying the leafy outlook across the park. Inside, a wide entrance hall establishes the home’s grandeur, leading directly to the front living spaces. Timber floors, soaring 3m ceilings and original fireplaces speak to the residence’s character, while a thoughtful floorplan ensures effortless flow between formal and informal zones.

Grand in scale yet warm in ambience, the formal dining and living rooms are framed by park-facing sash windows and graced with two working fireplaces, including a charming Inglenook. The atmosphere is one of quiet elegance, ideal for refined entertaining or simply retreating with family at day’s end.

At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living domain celebrates light, volume and connection. Exposed timber beams, a feature fireplace and a skylight create a space both welcoming and striking. The gourmet kitchen, appointed with dual AEG ovens, gas cooktop, Miele dishwasher and a large walk-in pantry, is designed for both everyday ease and entertaining. Sliding glass doors allow for seamless integration with the outdoor terrace, pool and landscaped gardens.

The master suite is a serene retreat, complete with walk-in robe, additional built-in robes, ensuite with double vanity, bath, shower and luxurious underfloor heating. Dual access to the hallway enhances practicality, all whilst being framed by leafy park vistas. Four further bedrooms, each with built-in robes and one with a built-in desk, provide generous family accommodation. Updated family bathrooms, complete with heated towel rails, enhance everyday comfort.

Manicured lawns and established gardens frame a lifestyle of outdoor enjoyment. The 12.5m solar-heated saltwater pool takes centre stage, complemented by a pool/guest house with a kitchenette and French doors opening to a private courtyard, a great space for casual entertaining. The expansive rear lawn offers impressive scope for a tennis court (STCC), while also providing a setting designed for both relaxation and entertaining.

Positioned on a prestigious tree-lined street, the home enjoys a commanding presence directly opposite Kensington Gardens Reserve, where tennis courts, cricket nets, playgrounds and BBQ facilities enrich family life. Enjoy the convenience of walking to Erindale Shopping Centre, with Burnside Village, The Parade Norwood dining precinct, and the CBD all just minutes away.
