Commissioned by Captain Frank Bissenberger - known as a flamboyant entrepreneur, miner, traveller and purveyor of the finer things - the story behind this C1900-built sandstone villa is as endearing as the home itself.
Its heartwarming history makes this light-filled and beautifully preserved home worth savouring before you even step inside to discover its grandly embellished character features - its polished boards, 3.7m-high ceilings, colourful leadlight and ornate hallway arch to name just a few.
The current owners have savoured it for nearly 30 years, passing on an impeccably presented interior that opens up at its rear and reveals a glorious underground cellar with room for 680 bottles.
Their greatest gift: arguably the rear alfresco patio draped in glory vine and partnered by a statued water feature to transport you from the fringes of Adelaide's CBD to the Mediterranean countryside in an instant. Christmas lunch has hardly looked so good.
If you are getting the sense this rear yard is bigger than most, you'd be right; this boundless block was once part of a larger estate, setting a new and deeper boundary than its neighbours the moment it was redefined.
A separate rear rumpus/studio - with air conditioning and room for a snooker table - looks back at the home, giving you or the kids a quiet place to work or play and constantly reminding you there's room to extend and install that pool you've always wanted.
If you want to walk to a Fringe show, jog around Victoria Park's wetlands, watch the kids stroll to Rose Park Primary School, grab a coffee at GG's or never have to drive to your CBD office ever again, it simply doesn't get much better than Dulwich. The Captain knew it. Now it's your turn.
