SOLD BY ZAC WATTS & NADIA COVINO.
Holding court on Jacaranda-lined Richmond Road, this C1910 Villa has been carefully reimagined through many iterations, with the current custodians' 38-year tenure resulting in a home that salutes its heritage with graceful devotion.
Built by the Treasurer of the City of Adelaide himself, its grandeur is met with humility, signified by the original Hills Hoist still anchored in the backyard as a proud nod to its primary origins.
Completely stripped back without shedding an ounce of character, the Villa's first footprint finds four original and generous bedrooms, each footnoted by fireplaces, Baltic pine floors and 3.5m ceilings led by a master suite that pairs walk-in robe and ensuite with underfloor heating and a freestanding bath to infuse daily rituals with a little luxury.
Decorative cornices and ceiling rose frame formal living and dining zones that feel anything but old-fashioned, sharing space with a sunlit courtyard to set the stage for peaceful morning coffees and Sunday family dinners destined to be etched into tradition.
Victorian archways carry you from the grand hallway through extensions that have expanded up and out over the decades, blending the needs of modern family life with a refined sense of sympathetic style.
Passing an enclosed pitched pergola made for all-weather entertaining, a bonus second level creates a two-bedroom wing complete with lounge and bathroom - a teen's dream escape.
Meanwhile, Brush Box parquetry signals the transition into the open-plan extension, where natural light pours through stained glass and bay windows to frame views of a sprawling backyard - an increasingly rare sight in today's times.
At its heart, a freshly custom-built kitchen doubles as both backdrop and primary hub - showcasing Westinghouse appliances, stone benchtops and electric overhead cabinetry - before French doors extend the living space onto a composite deck for fluent indoor-outdoor flow.
Positioned within one of Adelaide's most tightly held suburbs, lifestyle comes naturally here - stroll to cafés, parks and cosmopolitan King William Road, access the CBD in minutes by train, and return home to a sanctuary that is as deeply dedicated to its history as it is to your family's future.
