Enjoying an elevated position overlooking the 5th fairway of the North Adelaide Golf Links and with established front and rear gardens, this substantial and gracious Victorian bluestone family home on the city fringe provides an exceptional opportunity to secure a forever home with a versatile single level layout.

Behind the imposing bluestone wall with beautiful brick pillars that match the original facade of the home, steps lead from the 21.5m frontage up to the front tessellated tiled verandah that extends across the front and down one side of the home.

In keeping with the grand proportions of the 1890 character laden home, the long and wide entrance hall has two ornate arches, decorative ceiling roses, wide Victorian cove architraves, 4m high ceilings and original Baltic pine floorboards.

While the home could be set up in a number of ways, the current owners have used one of the front rooms as a library/home office/sitting room. It has a stunning original marble fireplace and working open fire and two sets of French doors leading to the wide tessellated tile verandah.

The main bedroom is also at the front of the house and provides a parents' retreat away from the family living rooms. It includes French doors to the front verandah as well as a wall of wardrobes in addition to the spacious walk-in dressing room and ensuite bathroom.

Further down the hall are two additional bedrooms, a large music room/fourth bedroom and a main bathroom.

At the end of the original part of the home, the harmonious blend of old and new comes into play with the massive dining/living spaces with soaring ceilings, parquetry timber floors and double glazed glass doors and windows on three sides.

Sets of floor to ceiling sliding doors overlook and lead to the vine covered alfresco paved entertaining area, manicured back garden, hedges, established trees, drystone bluestone walls, terraces and sparkling, glass fenced salt water chlorinated pool and spa.

A foyer on one side of the family room leads to a self-contained guest wing for visiting family, friends or a nanny which was recently completed by Outset Design late last year.

Comprising two further bedrooms, (yes that's five in total or six or seven not counting the front room) a third bathroom with underfloor heating, a sensational laundry and utility room for all those items you need to keep but would rather hide away and a separate entrance so there is a level of independent living.

The dream laundry includes space for up to three under bench appliances, a full size refrigerator and a host of cupboards below and above bench as well as direct access to a service area including a clothes line.

The kitchen has Caesarstone benchtops, a double oven, two drawer dishwasher and a huge walk-in Butler's pantry with windows and a matching Caesarstone benchtop.

This is a home designed and renovated to make entertaining a breeze with total confidence whatever the occasion - a home that will adapt through the years to its owners' changing needs.

Imagine hosting large or intimate Christmas and family birthday parties, cocktail and engagement parties, weddings, anniversaries and family occasions, candlelit dinners under the vine covered patio, marquee events adjacent to the glass fenced, salt water chlorinated swimming pool, family barbeques and Summer pool parties.

And of-course it's easy to grab the wine you need from the large cellar room that has plenty of space for a serious wine collection as well as a tasting table and chairs.

Watch the Australia Day fireworks from the comfort of your front terrace and walk around the corner to the Mills Terrace residents' private parkland tennis courts in the urban tree canopy of this local heritage zone.

Other desirable features include ducted reverse cycle air conditioning throughout, underfloor heating, a 5.2KW roof solar system, a fully reticulated automatic watering system, a double garage and a triple carport.

Fully networked Wi-fi routers running throughout the roof space provide excellent Wi-fi throughout every room in the property including both garages and also controls remotely the garden irrigation system.

Make no mistake, this residence, in a highly coveted prime position in North Adelaide, is a blue chip investment in your family's future with potential to build memories that will last a lifetime.

Within walking distance of an amazing plethora of shops and restaurants lining O'Connell Street including the North Adelaide Village, the legendary Flying Fig Cafe and Plant 4 markets.

Close to facilities including Memorial Drive, Adelaide Oval, North Adelaide Golf Course, the Adelaide Aquatic Centre.

Zoned for North Adelaide Primary School and close to The Wilderness, St. Dominic's, St Peter's Collegiate and Adelaide Botanic High School as well as The University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia.
