Auction Location: Sunday 17th of December at 11:00am on site.<br/><br/>Offered to the market for the first time in almost 40 years, this is a once in a generation opportunity to secure an elegant villa of exceptional character and charm embraced by enchanting grounds in one of Adelaide's most tightly held city fringe enclaves. With a flair for interior and garden design, the current owners have cleverly restored and extended this magnificent bluestone beauty to produce a versatile family home filled with an overwhelming sense of warmth, space, comfort and peace.<br/><br/>Situated on part of the original landholding of colonial builder John Wark who built many of the surrounding villas and cottages, this late 1880s beauty is one of his most outstanding. <br/><br/>Privately positioned with a wide frontage and set well back from the street, the gracious bluestone façade is framed by an idyllic garden of mature plantings with manicured lawns, shady nooks, and majestic trees. <br/><br/>Inside, the original floorplan with a central arched hallway has been seamlessly extended to incorporate up to five bedrooms, two bathrooms, plus formal and informal living options. <br/><br/>From the passage, four beautifully proportioned rooms with original architectural details are currently disposed as three bedrooms and formal living. <br/><br/>The primary suite forms a private retreat, with a brand-new designer ensuite, built-in robes and a door which opens to a dappled courtyard perfect for morning coffee or a romantic nightcap. <br/><br/>The ultra-chic sitting room spills through French doors to peaceful Tuscan style alfresco dining, with a feature Victorian sandstone wall backdrop.<br/><br/>Family accommodation continues with a wing incorporating two king-sized bedrooms both with captivating garden views, built-in robes, and a family bathroom nearby. <br/><br/>Forming the true heart of the home is open plan living which exudes comfort and warmth. Grounded by large country style terracotta tiles, the space is drenched in light from a bank of full-length windows and a charming conservatory dining nook that opens to courtyard dining. Family and friends will love to gather at the wrap around kitchen bench with breakfast bar or sit together in the expansive living area. <br/><br/>The talking point of this superb property is without doubt the garden, with the rear grounds forming a tranquil haven and entertainer's paradise. <br/><br/>Mass plantings of fragrant roses, clivia, agapanthus and geraniums wrap around a lawn with a magnificent Jacaranda at center stage. Gently elevated beyond is the sundrenched solar heated pool flanked by pear trees. <br/><br/>Behind a parterre garden through an archway entwined with 'Pierre de Ronsard', is valuable off-street parking accessed by a driveway from Main Street. With parking for several vehicles including a double carport, this functional area is perfect for utilities, services, convenient garden access, or even for extended entertaining if required. <br/><br/>Located in the Burnside Council area, this tightly held inner eastern suburb is located within walking distance to Victoria Park, the East End, the CBD and Southern Parklands, in addition to popular schools, shopping and restaurant strips right on its doorstep.<br/><br/>SPECIAL FEATURES OF NOTE <br/><br/>- Private rear access from Main Street<br/>- Two-car carport plus additional parking spaces <br/>- Large dry cellar<br/>- Original fireplaces & ceiling roses<br/>- Plantation shutters<br/>- Built-in robes<br/>- Laundry with room for second fridge<br/>- Ducted R/C aircon<br/>- NBN<br/>- Automatic irrigation<br/>- Solar heated pool<br/>- ALG oven & gas cooktop <br/>- Bosch dishwasher <br/><br/>LOCATION<br/><br/>- Less than 4km to Victoria Square <br/>- Walk to Victoria Park, South Parklands, East End<br/>- Close to popular shopping including Glen Osmond Road, Burnside Village, Duthy Street, The Parade<br/>- Minutes from the freeway<br/><br/>SCHOOLS <br/><br/>- Zoned to Parkside Primary & Glenunga International<br/>- Central to numerous colleges including Concordia, Walford, Seymour, Pulteney, St Peters & PAC
