There are homes that preserve the past, and there are homes that quietly promise a future just as remarkable. 10 Coombe Street is the latter.
Standing proudly above the streetscape on an extraordinary 3,874sqm parcel in the heart of Gawler East, this C1880 sandstone return-veranda villa has already lived many remarkable chapters. Its next is yours to write.
Behind its stately façade, the original home showcases every hallmark of its era. Soaring decorative ceilings, ornate fireplaces, polished timber and slate floors, and beautifully proportioned rooms create an immediate sense of grace.
Three generous bedrooms line a lofty central hallway, before a versatile skylit study and elegant formal lounge adapt to every mood, occasion, and configuration.
Then a sympathetic extension takes the baton, timber-topped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and walk-in pantry anchoring an expansive open-plan living domain that respects, rather than rivals, the existing character. Just beyond, a separate laundry and family bathroom keep everyday routines in sync, while a secret cellar delivers the perfect place to stash your collection.
Outside, the gardens wrap everything in privacy, the veranda and a rear terrace offer your choice of stage to chase the sun, while a substantial workshop stands ready for hobbies, projects, or practical storage.
But it's the scale that speaks the loudest. With 3,874sqm at your disposal, there's unhurried scope to imagine almost anything - an extraordinary extension that carries the villa into its next century, a showpiece pool and pavilion, a multigenerational family estate, boutique accommodation, destination hospitality, consulting rooms, or another landmark adaptive reuse (STCC).
The location is the final flourish. Dead Man's Pass Reserve unfolds beyond your doorstep, while Gawler's historic township, schools, and everyday conveniences are only moments away. With seamless Northern Expressway access, Adelaide and the Barossa are never far, leaving weekends, wine country, and the city all equally within reach.
Built to endure, ready to evolve 10 Coombe Street is ready when you are.
