Built in 1891, this six-bedroom home is a showcase for opulent Victorian Gothic architecture.
Surrounded by established gardens and parkland, this grand home is a local icon. Modern upgrades are in keeping with the original design, and ensure the house meets with modern requirements.
The home is built from local sandstone and elaborately laid bricks. An elegant lead-light entrance opens to a grand hall and magnificent formal lounge and dining rooms.
Exquisite craftsmanship can be seen in carved timber arched frames in the grand hall, and the sweeping staircase.
The huge master bedroom contains a fireplace, modern ensuite and private dressing room, and has direct access to a balcony. All of the five other bedrooms are large, and the guest suite has its own luxury bathroom and sitting room.
On the ground level is a modern kitchen with walk-in pantry, family room, office, and billiard room with lead-light windows.
An outdoor bar and kitchen overlook a spa and paved entertaining area.
The current owners have owned the home for 22 years. Former owners include well known Adelaide politician and journalist, Sir John Bonython.
