BEST OFFERS BY TUESDAY 28 JULY AT 11AM (UNLESS SOLD PRIOR). With its blue chip position close to O'Connell Street, North Adelaide golf course, parklands, Adelaide Oval and the city, this is an exceptional opportunity to become the next generation to call one of Molesworth Street's quintessential terrace residences home. Boasting a rich historic pedigree, this superb semidetached residence has been cherished by the current owners for over forty years. Built in the 'boom' period style of the mid 1880s as part of an early residential development of the original town acres owned by pioneer John White, its significant character has been preserved and extended with plenty of scope for its new custodians to adapt as their own. With outstanding street presence, the glorious two storey façade incorporates the original wrought iron fence, tessellated tiles, lace trimmed veranda and balcony nestled behind fragrant roses and a magnificent Frangipani tree. The ground floor is dedicated to spacious and elegant living, with two reception rooms comprising a sun drenched north facing sitting room with box bay window and fireplace, and a versatile dining room or study also with original fireplace. To the rear, the kitchen, with adjacent bathroom and laundry, gazes over casual open plan living and meals towards the back garden, pool and poolside dining through full length windows. From the wide arched passage, stairs reach towards a mezzanine floor with two bedrooms and a bathroom, and the next floor accommodating a further two bedrooms including the huge primary sanctuary, with a marble fireplace and luxurious ensuite, bathed in light from the north facing balcony. The deep rear garden with a tiled pool provides scope to further extend if so inclined (subject to all necessary consents). Reminiscent of a stable block, the secure three car garage with valuable rear access from Barnard Lane behind boasts a vast and versatile studio room above, perfect as a retreat for the kids or a work from home sanctuary.
