50 MacKinnon Parade, North Adelaide, SA 5006

Pride of place in the most exclusive pocket of North Adelaide, 50 Mackinnon Parade is an outstanding opportunity to embrace an endlessly unique heritage home and write the next chapter your way.

Constructed in 1836 as a shingle roof cottage, and recorded as the ninth home built in Adelaide, it's a site heralded as playing a prominent role in the cultural life of North Adelaide. And with tenures as a school and community institute before being reborn and extended as the Sheridan Theatre in the 1960s, then reimagined as a residential character conversion in the 1990s, it's a truly home with a history like no other.

Beyond the striking walkway, the original two room footprint ? which held court as a foyer and bar during the theatre era ? is now configured as a main entry hall and two double bedrooms, each complete with ensuite.

The definition of open plan living, the auditorium delivers an expansive family room primed to configure exactly as you like. Canopied by soaring ceilings, wrapped with ornate cornices and mouldings, and centred by an oversized combustion fireplace, it's a home hub defined by warmth and character.

Polished timber floors - the original stage ? stretch across an impressive chef's kitchen, marble benchtops and glass splashback uniting Goldline commercial gas cooktop and warming oven, while a butler's pantry boasts conventional oven and Miele dishwasher, creating an intuitive workspace for any recipe and every occasion.

A dedicated dining area unfolds via concertina doors to vast deck that soaks up every sunray from coveted northern orientation, ensuring seamless flow for alfresco entertaining. Wrapped with lush, private courtyard gardens, it's the ideal outdoor epicentre that starts a slow morning or kicks off a dinner party that lives long into the night.

Extending the layout with further flexibility, a caretakers cottage comprises lounge with fireplace, spacious bedroom, federation-style bathroom, and kitchenette, while private entry from Provost Street expands scope for multi-generational living for independence-craving teenagers and boomerang children, or even adaptation for short-stay accommodation.

Park side placement puts endless greenspace at your fingertips, while walking proximity to everything that makes North Adelaide vibrant elevates your everyday rituals. Whether it's morning coffee at UR Caffe or Heat, running a new PB at the Uniloop Track, long lunch at The Lion, a movie at the Piccadilly, or a quick walk to Adelaide Oval on match day or the Garden during Mad March, you'll never find another so close to all the action while still so private.

The next chapter belongs to you. Reimagine for another era, use the existing plans or draw up your own to and build out or up (STCC), or simply settle in and start finetuning a new routine with every local icon at your doorstep - there's unhurried scope for whatever flame it sparks.
