Offered to the market for the first time in over 30 years, this is an outstanding opportunity to secure a captivating villa full of charm and character, nestled in one of the quietest pockets of this exclusive suburb.

Its expansive grounds and highly desirable northerly position bordering gum studded Linear Park and River Torrens, provide a sense of peace and tranquillity all just minutes from the CBD and a sought-after urban lifestyle within walking distance of St Peters College.

HISTORY & ARCHITECTURE
Built on the original landholding of John Müller, the house is the last standing of three in a row later owned by the Figg and Ryan families.

Centrally positioned on a generous allotment with a frontage approximating over 29 meters, the property boasts immense street appeal, with a pretty symmetrical sandstone façade, wide lace trimmed veranda, tessellated tiles, bluestone sides and magnificent decorative plaster embellishments.

Inside, superb architectural features include intricate decorative plaster ceilings, mantlepieces and feature leadlight.

FAMILY ACCOMMODATION
The floorplan is highly adaptable and can accommodate up to five spacious bedrooms if required, plus a study.

Added by the current owners, the sensational first floor master suite takes full advantage of its lofty north facing position. Forming a tranquil retreat, it includes a large ensuite, walk-in dressing room and enough room for a living area. Full length windows and a private decked balcony gaze over the verdant rear garden and gum tree studded river backdrop.

VERSATILE LIVING
At the heart of the home is an expansive living space. Highly adaptable, this room can be utilized as one large family room, a generous entertaining space for gatherings, or combined dining and living.

LIVING EXTENSION
Grounded by feature slate floors is a kitchen and meals extension with sliding doors that spill through to alfresco living.

The all-white timber kitchen hosts Bosch appliances, with a laundry and second bathroom/powder room adjacent.

ALFRESCO LIVING AND GARDEN
Entwined by wisteria, undercover outdoor living and dining overlook the glorious grounds that wrap around the home. This tranquil oasis, with sweeping lawns punctuated by a majestic golden elm, a pepper tree and weeping mulberries, also radiates a resort like vibe, with a Bali style pavilion framed by tropical plantings including tall Queen and prolific Rhaphis palms.

Linear Park behind provides a virtual extension of the property, with a secure gate to the Torrens riverbank. Teaming with birdlife, there is even a resident koala who comes to visit.

These magical surrounds are the perfect backdrop for a family home that is ready for a new generation to cherish.
