Exuding understated elegance, sheer class, irreplaceable sophistication and the bygone character detail of yesteryear, is a property that transcends the local market and transports one to the most private, cultured and coveted locales worldwide.
Steeped in local history, historic 'Ridge Line' rises majestically above leafy canopies offering striking sight lines across Adelaide's dynamic skyline but also presents a sublime Mediterranean minimalist aesthetic done to the highest of international standards, reminiscent of terraces in London, villas in Lake Como and brownstones in New York City.
Superlatives do little to encapsulate and truly convey the feeling this property engenders; an effortless feeling of refinement and luxury.
Originally constructed in 1860, Ridge Line has been masterfully renovated yet still allows for the next custodian of this property's important legacy to further build, extend, enhance and personalise.
With truly magnificent views over Adelaide's CBD and rolling hills, this special home comprises a bespoke layout over two levels that seamlessly opens to elevated European-inspired, terraced gardens that are private, picturesque and simply magical.
Comprising 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and a three car garage off a rear laneway, this character home features the master bedroom suite upstairs with half kitchen, antique chandeliers, new feature marble fireplace and a stunning conservatory that permits both natural sunlight and impressive views unique to Adelaide's premier locale, Stanley Street.
Downstairs, a full marbled kitchen, sunken lounge, enormous formal dining area, lounge and feature wine room all allow for seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining in the classic garden setting.
Surpassing any and all local standards of urbanity, this residence will suit those seeking understated yet exquisite architectural beauty, the avid and learned art collector, sophisticated couple, those who enjoy entertaining or those who truly appreciate the private nature of this iconic residence.
Further features include:
- Cellar with feature original stained glass

Prominently located on a wide tree-lined avenue in one of Adelaide's most prestigious and coveted suburbs only minutes from the CBD, 251 Stanley Street presents as the scarcest of opportunities for those seeking the grandeur of a bygone era in a practical, modern and luxurious context.
