Built in 1940 and once home to Labor Premier Frank Walsh, and held by its devoted custodians for the last 50 years, 25 Orchard Avenue is a once-in-a-generation offering - a city-fringe sandstone sanctuary where rich heritage meets unlimited potential.
Set quietly on a prestige street, its north-facing frontage glows with timeless appeal. A wide terrazzo porch soaks up sunrays, the sparkling in-ground pool just beyond framed in frameless glass for year-round supervision and style.
Inside, every detail nods to deco origins: rare Kauri Pine floors, soaring ceilings, intricate mouldings, and leadlight windows stretch across every inch of the family footprint. A grand hallway unfolds to a formal lounge centred by a glazed brick mantle, while a connected dining area spills into the heart of the home - a central kitchen primed for conversation.
Three generous bedrooms, including a main bathed in northern light, are serviced by a character bathroom with all the hallmarks of a time when function met elegance.
An extensive veranda is made for long lunches and family celebrations, while a double garage workshop with mezzanine loft flexes for every lifestyle, whether it's your home gym, creative studio, music room, or a classic car haven. Beautifully established gardens span camellias, roses, ferns, lush lawns, and fruit trees, finishing the equation with a canvas for green thumbs to thrive and the littlest or furriest family members to safely roam.
And the location? Quiet, yet enviably connected. Zoned for Adelaide and Adelaide Botanic High Schools, with Black Forest, Goodwood and Richmond Primaries close by. Morning coffee at PomPom or Daisy, laps at Unley Swimming Centre, Sunday hauls at the Adelaide Showground Farmers Market, errands at Kurralta Central, and wanders through Everard Park Reserve are all walkable, while you're city or beach bound in under 10 minutes.
A landmark home with a legacy to match - this is Everard Park at its most exceptional.
