There is a quiet confidence that only time, craftsmanship, and thoughtful ownership can create. This circa 1915 Queen Anne / Art Nouveau residence carries that presence effortlessly.
For more than 21 years, the current owners have lived within these walls, not simply maintaining the home, but understanding it-preserving its architectural integrity while carefully refining it for modern life. The result is a residence that feels settled, authentic, and complete.
Set on a substantial 766sqm allotment with a commanding 22.86-metre frontage, the home presents behind a refined sandstone façade and electric gated entry, offering privacy and discretion without formality. From the outset, there is a sense of arrival that feels assured rather than announced.
Inside, the quality of the era reveals itself immediately. Ceilings rise to approximately 3.3 metres, softened by ornate ceiling roses, while original leadlight windows and fireplaces throughout the home serve as understated reminders of its architectural lineage. These are not features added for effect-they are the natural language of a home built in a time when craftsmanship was paramount.
The interiors unfold with an easy, natural rhythm. Three generous bedrooms, all comfortably carpeted, are complemented by two well-proportioned living areas, allowing the home to adapt seamlessly to both entertaining and quiet retreat. Baltic pine flooring grounds the living spaces with warmth and continuity, while ducted air conditioning, ceiling fans throughout, and block-out curtains ensure comfort is quietly maintained across every season.
In 2022, the kitchen and bathroom were comprehensively renovated with a clear understanding of balance-contemporary in function, restrained in finish, and respectful of the home's original character. The bathroom is generously scaled and refined, supported by two toilets, while the kitchen sits comfortably at the heart of the home, designed for daily living and understated entertaining rather than display.
Practical considerations have been addressed without compromise. Electric front gates, security screens to all doors and windows, and off-street accommodation for up to six vehicles provide a level of convenience and security rarely achieved in period homes of this calibre.
Outdoors, the gardens reflect the same sense of longevity and care. Established plantings are supported by an automatic irrigation system, two substantial rainwater tanks (1,000L and 2,000L), and a productive collection of mature fruit trees including lemon, mandarin, orange, peach, apple, dragon fruit, and walnut. A large workshop or studio adds further versatility, while a 3.3kW solar system supports efficient, considered living.
Positioned moments from Prospect Road's dining and shopping precinct, close to quality schools and public transport, and only minutes from the Adelaide CBD, the location offers both connection and retreat-a balance increasingly sought and rarely found.
Now offered to the market, this is a home for those who value authenticity, scale, and a sense of permanence. It is not a residence that seeks attention. It rewards those who recognise it.
