Privately set along a quiet street with more birdlife than traffic, this c.1915 stone-fronted villa pairs warmth and grace with a four-bedroom footprint and a solar-heated pool, mere moments from Linear Park.
Step it out – around 1km to both The Avenues and Walkerville Terrace shopping precincts and just 5km to the CBD - there's more than just street presence for the young family or professional buyer to appreciate.
Built for the Hindmarsh family - and once home to South Australia's first enlisted soldier – it's a villa grounded in history, enhanced for poolside living, and serenaded by nature.
A freshly repainted interior introduces a soft, cohesive palette, accentuating its leadlight windows and lofty ornate ceilings. All four bedrooms are substantial, each featuring polished floorboards and quality robes, three with fireplaces; the primary suite adds a chic ensuite and private garden outlooks to its enduring charm.
To the rear, the solid timber kitchen becomes the family room's social anchor. New inclusions - an oven and Smeg induction cooktop - enhance its practicality, breakfast benchtops hide the prep work, while its orientation delivers unhindered pool views.
Glazed French doors greet the rear verandah and a discreet corner BBQ zone. The entire 1990s addition – incorporating a flexible home office, laundry, and refurbished family bathroom – says enjoy now or renew over time, with exciting scope to value-add (subject to planning consent.)
Established, irrigated gardens envelop the home, and with neighbours out of sight, the only intrusion comes from wagtails, honeyeaters and lorikeets - making the garden feel more sanctuary than suburbia.
Whether you're unwinding under the palms, taking a bath-warm dip in the pool, or tinkering in the powered shed - ideal as a creative escape - come spring, the wisteria adds another stunning layer to the patio and verandah.
The community spirit here is strong. Families will follow the glow to the Ninth Avenue Christmas Lights (or illuminate your own with external power points already in place at home.)
Choose your spoil: the iconic St Peters Bakehouse or the Billabong, a stroll to East Adelaide and Walkerville Primary Schools, or easy links to the CBD, or North Adelaide cafes via the Gilberton Swing Bridge; walkability in this influential eastern suburb is second nature - and second to none.
