Some homes are defined by their architecture. Others by their location. The truly special ones offer both.
Built circa 1890 and positioned in one of Adelaide's most tightly held inner northern neighbourhoods, 38 Highbury Street presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial character residence in a location that places an extraordinary array of lifestyle experiences within easy reach.
Set on approximately 418m² with a 13.72m frontage, this impressive home combines the charm and presence of its era with the privilege of living just moments from North Adelaide, Prospect Road, the Adelaide Parklands and the CBD.
This is a home for buyers who value character, quality and, above all, the freedom that comes from being connected to almost everything Adelaide has to offer.
A Lifestyle That Starts at Your Front Door
One of the great pleasures of living here is just how easy life becomes.
Head into North Adelaide and O'Connell Street for breakfast, dinner or an evening out. Explore the restaurants, cafés and boutiques of Prospect Road, catch a movie, or make a weekend visit to the ever popular Schinella's Market for fresh produce and specialty food.
The Adelaide CBD is only minutes away, bringing the Adelaide Central Market, cultural precincts, shopping, restaurants and entertainment into your everyday lifestyle rather than reserving them for special occasions.
And when you want some space, Adelaide's magnificent green belt is equally accessible.
Walk the North Adelaide Parklands, spend an afternoon at the Adelaide Botanic Garden, or head towards the River Torrens Linear Park for walking and cycling.
Or simply point the car towards the Adelaide Hills and within a short drive you can be exploring Stirling, Verdun, Hahndorf, local wineries, restaurants and some of South Australia's most beautiful countryside.
City, Hills, parklands, restaurants, markets and entertainment - from Highbury Street, very little feels far away.
A Home With History and Presence
Dating back to circa 1890, the home carries the character and sense of permanence that simply cannot be replicated in a new build.
Offering approximately 142m² of building area, the residence provides two or three bedrooms and generous living accommodation, creating a home with genuine flexibility for families, professionals, downsizers seeking character without isolation, or buyers wanting an exceptional inner city base.
Its established streetscape, traditional proportions and substantial presence make this a property that immediately feels connected to the history of Prospect.
