100 Finniss St, North Adelaide SA 5006, Australia

This magnificent historical 5-bedroom residence, situated in lower North Adelaide and just 3 minutes from the city and on the fringe of the parklands, has been beautifully and sympathetically renovated into a stylish family home and an entertainer’s delight. The warm comfortable interiors showcase recent updates, with finishes of the highest standard throughout.

The entry hall opens into a front formal sitting room with a marble (working) fireplace and twin fully sashed windows that overlook the manicured front garden with pond. The master suite, with extensive built-in robes, extends to a modern ensuite bathroom with under-floor heating. Further down the long hallway are another four double bedrooms (one currently used as a study), a large family bathroom (also with underfloor heating), and a dream laundry. Below is a large walk-in dry cellar with extensive Bordeaux wine racks – perfect for the wine enthusiast.

The historic front of the house flows seamlessly into the modern and spacious open-plan kitchen/family/dining room featuring European oak parquetry, gas log fireplace, and a commercial quality kitchen with Meile and Gaggenau appliances, a large kitchen island, and a butler’s pantry, and a separate powder room. Elegant French bi-fold doors open onto the wide verandah with a built-in gas BBQ and outdoor kitchen. All of this overlooks the deep lawned garden and fully tiled, solar-heated lap pool with glass fencing, and an art studio/workshop at the rear.

A double garage has generous storage space and a separate children’s playroom or gym area upstairs. The garage also has French doors leading to the undercover entertaining area – very convenient for large marquee events.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire such a magnificent property, so close to the city, on such a large allotment of land.
