An impressive and gracious elevated old character residence waiting to be restored to its former days of glory. Surrounded by a generously proportioned block located on the corner of Gilbert and Noble Streets and with high profile suburbs such as North Adelaide and Medindie nearby.

Enormous potential exists to restore and or extend this glorious family home and retain the land to create an all encompassing close to city estate or sub-divide into smaller allotments (subject to consents).

Generous proportions of scale throughout with large lofty rooms and high ceilings. Comprising of three bedrooms, a study (or small fourth bedroom), a stately formal entrance hall, a bay windowed formal sitting room, formal dining room, large dine-in kitchen with walk-in pantry, two sleep-outs/sunrooms, bathroom, separate rear lavatory and laundry.

It is evident the residence was built with a great sense of pride, plenty of care, attention to detail and to a high standard at the time. It was built and has been retained by just the one family for over seventy years.

The residence has plenty of original elements and endearing charm such as white twisted ornate verandah columns, a terracotta tiled roof, a side portico, thick walls, jarrah floorboards, solid timber doors, frames and skirtings, timber paneling and picture rails in the entrance hall, intricate leadlight surrounding the front door, on most windows and other doors throughout, a finely detailed and ornate ceiling in the master bedroom and an interior timber window seat around the bay window. A wood stove in the original alcove, several open fireplaces (one uniquely covered in a mosaic of the smoothest of pond stones and another with built-in leadlight side cabinets), a built-in timber linen press and other original storage cupboards.

Located within minutes of the North Adelaide Golf Course, Adelaide Casino and the shopping precincts of the city, North Adelaide, Melbourne Street and with plenty of public transport nearby.

Your opportunity to purchase an exciting old character home on a large allotment of land with immense potential to sub-divide or retain all within close proximity to the centre of Adelaide.
