28 Gurney Rd, Dulwich is a 4 bedroom, 1 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1900. The property has a land size of 1046m2 and floor size of 186m2.

Commissioned by time itself and carried through generations, 'Reginnas' - a C1890s return verandah villa framed in Tapleys Hill Bluestone and red brick - holds a story few homes could ever tell.
Once the proud residence of the Dowie family for more than a century, this iconic property is intrinsically tied to prolific South Australian artist and sculptor John Dowie, whose works grace our most revered landmarks - Victoria Square, Adelaide Oval and Rundle Mall - and even royal portraits abroad.
Here, he has left quite the irreplicable mark, with murals embellishing the grand entry arch and a breathtaking ceiling canvas spanning the wide breadth dining room.
Restored in recent years by an architect with an inclination for heritage homes, every inch of this four-bedroom villa has been sensitively revived, right down to its skeleton keys and decorative hinges. The open fireplaces glow once more, ornate ceiling roses and chandeliers sparkle, and the polished red Baltic pine floors carry the footsteps of both history and renewal.
Set against an idyllic 1,046sqm parcel, this is a home that balances grandeur with warmth, and possibility with preservation. With abundant northern light streaming through the windows, the grounds offer the freedom to realise future plans without compromising heritage character: imagine a master ensuite and dressing room to the southern side, or a contemporary open-plan kitchen spilling to the garden.
For now, lose yourself in the shade of ornamental pears, maples, and a grove of citrus trees, where the gardens invite you to sit, dream, and sketch the next chapter of this artistic icon.
All while enjoying a lifestyle underpinned by enviable school zoning - Rose Park Primary (once attended by Dowie himself), Marryatville High, and a network of Adelaide's most prestigious colleges within arm's reach. Add to this the reinvigorated Burnside Village, Victoria Park's recreation trails and the city just beyond - and it's clear why Dulwich has always held its place at the very top.
A story etched in stone and canvas with a glowing restoration that has revived its heart. Now fatefully, the pen is yours.
