A home that's watched Mitcham grow around it, the sense of history is as palpable as the imposing street presence, charm and grandeur of this stone-laden C1880 Queen Anne Villa on a sweeping corner parcel, just a stroll from Mitcham Square and Scotch College.
Legend has it one of Mitcham's first Town Clerks called home this stately, far-reaching residence that once cast its grounds well beyond the 962sqm it stands on today - a more more manageable undertaking for a busy 21st-century family.
Inside, the ceilings stretch into the sky, light bounces from bay windows to ornate fireplaces to Baltic pine floors and back again. It feels familiar. It feels good.
As it was in those days, the front rooms are reserved for making the grandest gestures, none more impressive than the boundless formal lounge and dining rooms that connect via French doors.
From there, big bedrooms reveal dimensions fit for king-size beds, the main bathroom paves a marble-laden path to its classic claw bath, a cellar hides underfoot, and you can't shake the gravitational pull to its north facing rear.
And it's here where the home exhales into something more casual; a family room bookended by a super-functional solid timber kitchen and access to the rear entertainer's deck.
It's a home that prioritises its flexible, freeing internal footprint - without compromising roaming room amongst its landscaped grounds. Secure double carport included.
Also included: the most enviable of lifestyles near Brown Hill Creek's hiking trails, The Ed Hotel and Cellars, some of Adelaide's best public schools and private colleges, cosmopolitan Unley and the city itself. The story continues.
