This distinguished property is a magnificent sandstone villa built in 1910, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and period charm that appeals to buyers who appreciate historical character paired with modern conveniences. The ornamental grapevine-covered verandah invites guests into a home filled with distinctive original features: an exquisite entrance foyer with parquetry of Jarrah and Oak timbers; uniquely decorated antique copper door push plates and built-in clock faces inspired by the Sturt desert pea pattern; and a high domed ceiling with built-in seating in the foyer.

The formal living spaces, including a lounge and dining room, feature detailed timber bookcases, decorative fireplace mantels adorned with native Australian motifs, and large bay windows that fill the rooms with natural light. The master bedroom retains its original paneled walls and copper fireplace hood, contributing to a sense of authenticity and heritage.

For entertainment and relaxation, the property includes a fully equipped cellar with a vintage PJ Brady slate-based billiard table and a multi-purpose room adjacent to the games room, currently used as a third living or theatre area, historically serving as a summer sleeping quarter. In 1999, thoughtful extensions broadened the home’s functional footprint, integrating heritage-style bathrooms and a well-appointed kitchen that overlooks a spacious sunlit family and dining area. Stunning parquetry flooring throughout and large picture windows with double French doors open directly onto the private rear garden, blending indoor and outdoor living seamlessly.

Comfort and efficiency are enhanced by ducted reverse cycle air conditioning and a 13kW solar power system. Outdoor maintenance is simplified via an automatic watering system. Security and convenience are elevated by an automatic front gate operable remotely through a mobile phone or remote control, integrated intercom and gate doorbell, and a four-camera security system that offers remote monitoring.

The generous land size of approximately 1131 square meters allows for potential additions such as a swimming pool or further landscaping enhancements. The established backyard is ideal for gardening enthusiasts, featuring a variety of mature fruit trees including pear, apple, plum, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, and loquat, alongside raised garden beds.

Located in the prestigious suburb of Glenunga, the property enjoys zoning to sought-after schools including Glenunga International High School and Linden Park Primary School, and convenient access to premier private schooling options. Nearby amenities include Burnside Village shopping and other world-class conveniences, making it a fantastic choice for families and discerning buyers seeking a blend of heritage elegance, space, and modern lifestyle benefits.
