Home to just two custodians since 1925, with an approximate 24m frontage and a timeless façade, this four-bedroom residence holds a rare and simple beauty, befitting the buyer who'll know exactly how to bring its purity to life.
Set on a wide and whisper quiet tree-lined avenue, with convenient bus routes a short stroll away on Sixth Avenue, the solid brick home's immaculate wrap of private gardens merely accentuates its appeal.
Inside, period details abound. Original leadlight, ornate fireplaces, decorative lofty ceilings and cornices awash in antique whites and natural daylight, complement the generous family footprint.
The enormity of each room gives the family or investment buyer the freedom of choice. Formal living to glimpse those cottage gardens through leadlight windows, a dedicated dining room, or an executive's office with separate return verandah access; this divine home has the dexterity to grow with you.
The substantial master bedroom hosts a heritage-style ensuite, while the home's 1980s rear addition features a second bathroom with a corner spa bath.
Poised for backyard views, the living and dining addition hosts a classically styled kitchen, French doors that spill out to the manicured rear lawn, and the magnificent magnolia and avocado trees dropping fruit and fragrance in abundance.
The prolific gardens also complete the cheese board with an orange tree and a walnut tree.
A concrete-floored garden shed is built to charm, while a detached studio/games room becomes the fully lined billiard-ready retreat the teens will love, offering robust timber floors, a sliding wall of storage, and every generational life stage up its sleeve.
With the comfort and convenience of split system air conditioning, off-street parking for three plus a carport for two more, this isn't a home seeking a total reinvention more the cosmetic persuasion to see its grandeur fit the new century.
And its eastern prestige is key. For its leafy parks and reserves, city reach, tranquil Linear Park trails, the annual Ninth Avenue Christmas Lights and a host of public and private schools. Some 800m from zoned East Adelaide School, and reputable private offerings including Wilderness Girls, St. Andrew's, St. Monica's and Prince Alfred Colleges in reach.
Fifth Avenue keeps its peace. This gracious residence maintains an everlasting class on a meticulous Joslin parcel.
