Beyond its timeless sandstone facade, this charming c.1900 return verandah villa presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a character-rich family home on a substantial 743 sqm (approx.) rectangular corner allotment, complete with valuable side access for off-street parking.
Steeped in period elegance, the home welcomes you with grand ceilings, intricate decorative cornices, ceiling details and heritage archways, showcasing the craftsmanship and charm of a bygone era. The flexible floorplan offers three generous bedrooms, complemented by a substantial formal lounge that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom or additional living area.
A spacious family bathroom complete with a relaxing soaking tub is complemented by a second bathroom/laundry, delivering added convenience for busy households.
At the heart of the home, an open-plan kitchen, living and dining space provides a comfortable setting for modern family life. Large timber-framed windows draw in natural light and create a seamless connection to the expansive backyard, where established trees and lush lawns create a private outdoor sanctuary with ample room for children to play, families to grow, and future plans to take shape. Access the home through the charming garden at the front of the property, or through a gated courtyard entrance through the side, giving flexibility and convenience.
Positioned on a generous rectangular parcel, the property offers outstanding scope for buyers looking to restore its original grandeur, undertake a thoughtful renovation, or reimagine the rear of the home entirely (STCC). Combining heritage character, valuable landholding and endless future potential, this is a rare opportunity to secure a piece of local history and make it your own.

Situated in one of Adelaide's most tightly held and desirable eastern suburbs pockets, the home is just a short stroll from Rose Park Primary School, widely regarded as one of South Australia's highest-performing public primary schools, and is also zoned for one of the best public high schools, Marryatville High School.
