Last Listing description (May 2026)

Imagine living in one of the best-preserved 19th-century streets in the Adelaide Hills.

"Sumner House" is a wholesome example of its State Heritage listed Townsend Street precinct – with a modified family edge.

Rewired and newly repainted, this bluestone cottage lives large, blending its period features and soaring ceilings with a respectful renovation on a generous 1019sqm allotment.

The romance is real. From the white pickets and last-century stonework to the wisteria-clad return verandah; wait awhile, and the Golden Bunny climbing roses become a seasonal spectacle.

Each leading main room brings richness in retreat – a warm palette, a feature fireplace, or practical storage. Trade the drum kit for a gaming zone or home theatre in the sound-insulated front room, while the library (or fifth bedroom) reveals a wall of shelved reading beside an ornate fireplace.

You'll no doubt claim the sage-hued suite as yours, for its wall-length mirrored robes, ceiling fan, and calming separation opposite the formal lounge.

There's more to the living room's charm than its dado rails, ceiling rose and endearing fireplace – it hides a downstairs cellar and provides a separate entry point – ideal as your home business base or for quiet client time.

With entry via the hallway or lounge, the open plan living zone draws everyone together blending casual dining into the contemporary rear kitchen – a zone hosting a military grey prep island, a Westinghouse electric oven, Bosch induction cooktop, ASKO dishwasher, farmhouse sink and stunning rear views.

A barn door larder reveal lets you stow the coffee machine and stock the preserves.

And a chic refit quietly elevates the fully tiled bathroom with a heritage glow; alongside, ingenuity flips the laundry into multi-purpose mode thanks to a second toilet and shower.

Year-round comfort is assured thanks to a combustion fire, ceiling fans and reverse-cycle split system air conditioning - and via the rear French doors, the backyard invites you to explore its own rich farmhouse benefits.

Smell the roses from the brick-paved patio. Take to the shade for outdoor entertaining. Discover the firepit, lemon and apple trees – even the old well - just ahead of the boundary's creek line.

Chickens? Of course. Herbs and/or veggie beds? They're virtually ready to go, as is a dedicated potting area. And the deep gravelled driveway serves a double carport and ample parking.

Delight in its quirks, admire its authenticity – and at long last, call home sweet home on a slice of Mount Torrens history.
