A Landmark North Adelaide Estate on 2,141sqm with Rare Private Tennis Court
Positioned in the prestigious western pocket of North Adelaide, 296 Ward Street represents one of the suburb's most significant residential landholdings - a grand Victorian estate combining architectural character, exceptional land scale, and lifestyle amenities rarely found so close to the city.
Set on an enormous 2,141sqm allotment, the property offers a remarkable sense of space and privacy within one of Adelaide's most tightly held residential enclaves. At its centre sits a substantial Victorian residence of elegant proportion, defined by soaring ceilings, beautifully preserved period detailing, and a series of generous reception rooms designed for both formal entertaining and relaxed family living.
The home's most impressive spaces include a magnificent ballroom-style living room, expansive formal dining and reception areas, and a substantial master suite. Throughout the residence, original fireplaces, ceiling roses, and grand room proportions reflect the timeless craftsmanship of its Victorian heritage.
One of the estate's defining features is the north-south lawn tennis court, a rare amenity within North Adelaide where only a handful of private courts exist across the entire suburb. The grounds also include a heated indoor swimming pool, creating a true family lifestyle property in the heart of the city.
A further highlight is the separate self-contained cottage, ideal for extended family, teenagers, guest accommodation or independent living. The property also offers extensive vehicle accommodation, with parking for six or more vehicles including four undercover spaces, along with a double garage/workshop with service pit.
Importantly, the scale of the existing residence allows future owners the opportunity to further enhance and personalise the home, with significant improvements or extensions possible within the existing building envelope, allowing the next chapter of this remarkable property to be written.
Just moments from Adelaide Oval, the Park Lands, the North Adelaide Golf Course, leading schools and the CBD, this is an extraordinary opportunity to secure one of the last remaining estate-style properties in North Adelaide.
A property of this scale, character and rarity is seldom offered to the market.
