North Adelaide SA 5006

There's something about a Victorian stone-fronted townhouse that is so quintessentially North Adelaide, it seems the natural choice for those who love our urban heritage and the lifestyle that comes with it. And here we're talking a lovely quiet street, lined with native frangipani and terrace tradition, on the doorstep of the golf course and Calvary Hospital, and just a short walk to cosmopolitan O'Connell Street, the Adelaide Oval and the cultural kernel of the CBD.
But it's also hard to go past a light-kissed, open floor plan featuring all the comforts and practicality we look for in a modern home. Combining the two was never going to be easy but this stunning recreation of 1880's opulence is the perfect fusion of then and now, ideally suited to busy executives, downsizers and canny investors who know a good thing when they see it. In addition to the perfect balance of living spaces, bedrooms and bathrooms spread over two levels; it also boasts the added attraction of a large and very private backyard, complete with palm-fringed plunge pool and water feature.
With summer around the corner, there's not a minute to lose... turn on the gas heating and jets to enjoy swim fests and relaxing spas, entertain nonstop on the large poolside terraces with a retractable awning and canvas sails for instant summer shade, and throw open the french doors to savour the cooling kiss of the ducted evaporative system. Ah, this is the life!
