56 Fourth Avenue

St Peters SA 5069

Offering expansive accommodation, fabulous entertaining options and sweeping estate-like grounds, this is a property of significant character that celebrates its historic grandeur with an effortless contemporary edge.

FRONTAGE AND HERITAGE FEATURES

Boasting an exceptional frontage of approximately 52.58m beneath the glorious oaks and planes of Fourth Avenue, the original wrought iron and stone front wall heralds a truly special property. Clipped hedges, expansive lawns and majestic palms welcome and hint at the enchanting garden within.

With spectacular street appeal the elegant two storied faade is a rarity in St Peters and Adelaide in general. Pretty circular-headed double windows, arched fretted barge boards, pilasters with entablature, tessellated verandas and a lace trimmed balcony combine to make this a particularly unique and beautiful example of Victorian Italianate-style architecture.

The original footprint has remained largely unaltered, thus preserving the integrity of the interior architectural design that is spacious, versatile and functional. Throughout, glorious original features include soaring ceilings with plaster embellishment, polished floors, decorative fireplaces and subtle leadlight.

ENTRANCE AND LIVING

A breathtaking central hallway intersects the highly flexible ground floorplan and reaches through a wide arch towards a grand staircase.

Ground floor reception rooms are of impressive proportion and adorned with elegant Victorian features including marble mantles pieces. Whether used for formal occasions or everyday living, these rooms provide spacious living for the whole family.

The splendid dining room links through bifold doors to a lounge room, creating the perfect multipurpose space for large scale entertaining or comfortable everyday living.

A palatial library lined with bespoke bookshelves is the bibliophiles dream space, providing plenty of room to stretch out and get lost in a favourite book. It could double as the ultimate home office.

KITCHEN

The kitchen, incorporating European appliances, custom joinery and stunning marble accents, is simple and timeless in its aesthetic. Designed as a hub for family and friends, a long island bench stands at its centre, whilst French doors stretch out to alfresco dining under a deep country style wisteria bound veranda overlooking the pool and tennis court.

From a back veranda dripping with wisteria, an abundant kitchen garden is perfect for the home chef to gather produce.

An adjacent room currently configured as a private ground floor bedroom with veranda access, provides enormous flexibility and could be utilized for casual dining, informal living or study if so desired.

UPSTAIRS

Versatile accommodation continues upstairs with three huge bedrooms including two with built-in robes and fireplaces, and the master with stylish ensuite, walk-in robe and northerly oriented balcony.

A study, also with built-ins, could be disposed as a fifth bedroom.

The family bathroom incorporates an art deco inspired free standing bath, double vanities and heated towel rail.

The superb front balcony forms a peaceful haven overlooking the dappled grounds, whilst a large original balcony with a sunny north westerly aspect to the rear, has unlimited potential for redesign and incorporation (subject to all necessary council approvals), or remain as a delightful and unique outdoor retreat with panoramic views across St Peters to the city.

GARAGE AND SELF-CONTAINED STUDIO

With valuable rear access from Fifth Lane, a three storied studio incorporates a secure double garage with storage on the ground floor, a wine connoisseurs' cellar/wine room below, and a self-contained studio above. This phenomenal space with kitchenette, bathroom and pool table provides a variety of uses including a teenage retreat, games room, home gym or home away from home for the au pair.

GROUNDS & ALFRESCO ENTERTAINING

A glorious mature garden encompasses the house to form an extraordinary urban oasis. From expansive lawns and formal plantings to an enchanted garden, the series of linked zones celebrate the outdoors with a spectrum of idyllic garden rooms and numerous entertaining zones.

Designed by Landscape Techniques, alfresco entertaining extends from the contemporary entertainer's pavilion with fully integrated kitchen, across a deck to the resort style pool that sits beside the synthetic tennis court.

To the other side, a pathway meanders past a firepit towards a cantilevered vine covered arbour, pizza oven, burbling water feature and rill, all with places to perch and soak up the enchanting surrounds.
