About this Property
In one of the most coveted suburbs in Adelaide, this substantial quintessential sandstone return veranda villa, is on the market for the first time in almost 40 years.
With a little TLC, transform this grand old lady into a 2024 masterpiece with its great bones enhanced by seriously gorgeous original stained glass and hand painted leadlight panels, marble fire surrounds and a wonderful and wide central hallway that includes three archways and a large skylight.
Character features abound throughout this impressive century old home, starting with its original cast iron lacework, tessellated tile return bullnose verandah, stone fronted facade and grand entrance surrounded by original leadlight panels including panes of glass featuring hand painted birds at the centre.
Leabrook villas are highly sought after and this prime example, situated on 901sqm (approx) and offering the potential for four side by side undercover car spaces with direct rear access from Perry Lane, is no exception.
Situated among other multi-million-dollar properties, this exceptional home, while extremely comfortable now, offers the opportunity to enhance to your own taste at leisure - a rare bonus for those who wish to stamp their own style and enjoy for a lifetime.
Once inside, the wide triple arched hallway leads into a beautiful study with character features including a marble fire surround and picture windows with leadlight panels overlooking the front garden. As in several other rooms, there are built in bookcases to accommodate books or ornaments.
In its current configuration, there are three bedrooms but the versatile floorplan could include up to five bedrooms or a mixture that includes one or two studies.
The very-large main bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and a walk-in dressing room that opens into a second bathroom with dual access into a side hall off the main hallway. This main bathroom includes a full sized bath.
Two more bedrooms and a formal dining room that could become a fourth bedroom or additional study also lead off the hall. Each of these rooms has an open fireplace. Bedroom 3 has a wall of wardrobes and a marble fireplace.
Adelaide architect Rob Williams was invited to design a sympathetic rear extension to the original home. It includes a very large family/living room that is adjacent to an eat-in kitchen with a bay window. The family room includes three sets of doors that open onto the rear garden as well as a small doorway that leads downstairs into a dry wine cellar.
As well as an open fireplace at one end of the room, there are beautiful built in bookcases and an overhead skylight. The ceilings are the same height as the original part of the home and the roof also follows the same height.
Some who inspect the property may decide to remove the wall between the kitchen and family room to create a stunning and huge open living space overlooking the rear garden.
A studio, workshop, two double carports and garden sheds are hidden behind a screen of greenery, each having direct access to Perry Lane. There is also an additional unrestricted right of way over an adjacent driveway from Perry Lane so new garaging could feature doors off this second lane.
Little wonder Leabrook is a suburb of choice for discerning buyers. It's close to fabulous facilities including the Regal Theatre, Marryatville Shopping Centre, Hazelwood Park and Tusmore Park.
Marryatville Primary School, Pembroke School, Marryatville High School are all within walking distance and there is a bus route to the city a few steps away.
Drive, ride or walk to the city in just a few minutes and enjoy all the amenities of the suburb including gully breezes on hot summer evenings!
The home includes an automatic watering system, reverse cycle ducted air conditioning, open fires in the sitting room and family room and a monitored security system.
Homes of this size and grandeur with such potential rarely come on the market.
Please ask me for recent comparable sales information which will be available at the property for those who visit an open inspection.
