Occupying a commanding position along one of North Adelaide's most prestigious boulevards and overlooking the picturesque North Adelaide Parklands, this remarkable Local Heritage listed property presents an opportunity unlike any other.
Designed by renowned South Australian architects Dickson & Platten and constructed in 1970 as their architectural practice, 165 MacKinnon Parade stands as an enduring example of Adelaide's distinctive architectural heritage. Built from the firm's signature palette of red brick, raw concrete, timber and tiled roofing, the building seamlessly blends into its residential surroundings while showcasing the innovative design principles that made Dickson Platten one of South Australia's most influential architectural practices.
Originally conceived as an office disguised as a residence, the building was designed by celebrated architect Robert "Bob" Dickson, creating a unique structure that blurred the boundaries between home and workplace decades before mixed-use living became fashionable. Today, the property remains a significant local landmark, recognised for its architectural merit, historical importance and association with one of South Australia's most respected architects.
Adding further appeal, the property has already received planning consent for conversion to a residential dwelling. This provides a rare opportunity to transform an iconic architectural landmark into a stunning city fringe residence while retaining the flexibility to utilise the property as commercial premises, a combination of residential and commercial accommodation, or a fully residential home.
Offering three levels of accommodation and exceptional versatility, the property is ideally suited to owner-occupiers, professionals, investors and developers seeking a foothold in one of Adelaide's most tightly held locations. Whether you choose to capitalise on the approved residential conversion or continue its commercial use, the property offers outstanding flexibility and future potential.
Positioned just moments from the vibrant cafe, restaurant and retail precincts of O'Connell Street and Melbourne Street, the North Adelaide Village Shopping Centre, Adelaide Oval and the Adelaide CBD, the location offers unrivalled convenience together with the prestige of one of Adelaide's most sought after addresses.
Whether you are seeking an office for your business, a unique investment opportunity or the chance to create an extraordinary residence overlooking the Parklands, 165 MacKinnon Parade delivers heritage character, exceptional versatility and outstanding long term potential.
A truly rare opportunity to secure an architectural icon in one of Adelaide's premier residential and commercial precincts.
