Overview

PICTURE PERFECT HISTORICAL STONE HOME

Over the last 35 years, this solid stone, imposing property has been wonderfully transformed into the glorious family sized home it is today. Truly significant in the area, it's quite a neighbourhood favourite, and presents a wonderfully unique opportunity to own a piece of Prospect's rich history. Originally built in the late 1800's to function as a hotel, with grand proportions and built to a high standard to stand the test of time. However, it was thwarted in its attempt to gain a hotel licence. From the cast iron fence and gate a gracious Mintaro slate entrance welcomes you to explore. Step inside where soaring 4-metre-high ceilings drench the home with light. The highly ornate hallway and arch are nothing short of spectacular and are a focal point. The long hallway and timber floors lead on to deceptively spacious living rooms, dining, generous bedroom accommodation, up-to-the-minute modern bathrooms (including ensuite) and a fully equipped cooks kitchen featuring a Falcon cooker it's sure to impress the most accomplished home master chef! There are some other vestiges of its original hotel intentions that remain today, including a welcoming bust of Bacchus the Roman god of wine at two entrances, a recently renovated large dry cellar, and accompanying brickwork for 'rolling down the barrels'. During some of its life, the property operated as a Corner Store, until it was purchased by the local school in the mid-1950's, converted to classrooms, and then sold to the present owners in 1989. Outside, enjoy entertaining family and friends year-round under the rear verandah, or simply relax and unwind while overlooking established and lush private gardens. Modern inclusions and carefully considered amenities feature throughout ensuring comfort and easy living, including a powerful Norwegian Jotul slow combustion heater, 2 separate ducted reverse cycle air-conditioners, 2 cellars, extensive built in shelving and a solar electrical system, just to name a few. This delightful home is sure to appeal to those seeking something that is uniquely grand, saved by the accidents of history which has preserved something that is loaded with character and history. Yet it is positioned in a location that's convenient and cosmopolitan. Only steps away from Prospect Road's village hub or take a stroll to North Adelaide. Easy access to some of Adelaide's most popular private and public schools.
