Commanding attention and admiration, this Stone-Fronted Villa stands as a pioneering slice of Vale Park on a rare 1470m2 approx landholding, bordered by the Linear Park trails and the coveted caf? strip of Walkerville Terrace.
Resplendent with its C.1905 return verandas, twin gables, and enchanting street presence across dual street frontages, the three bedroom villa embodies the historic prestige typical of neighbouring Gilberton, Medindie and Walkerville-yet rarely seen in Vale Park.
Embedded in a maze of well-kept Mediterranean-style, drought-hardy shrubs and prolific fruit trees, the fully fenced allotment also leaves the gate wide open for an epic lap pool, sports court, or architectural lifestyle addition (subject to all planning consents) for the visionary family buyer.
Yet it's easy to see how reliable this outstanding villa has been ? and will be - as a family home, with prominent private schools nearby including to St. Andrews, St. Monica's, St. Peter's College, and Wilderness Girls School.
Modernised, freshly repainted, and beautifully maintained by its 30-year owners, you'll adore the preserved plasterwork, timber flooring and leadl-ight, the three equally large bedrooms with open fireplaces, two with new carpets, and the leading master hosting a brand new chic ensuite.
Drawn to its northerly aspect, a timber galley kitchen is bookended by the casual meals and sunlit conservatory ? the latter brilliant as a winter breakfast room - each leveraging the sun beneath remote ceiling blinds, against an adjacent family/living room with huge, all-occasions flexibility.
Below the black and white checked dining room tiles is the dry cellar, and above, the enormous roof space heightens any plans for those looking to build up.
In its early days Vale Park was predominantly farmland, market gardens and vineyards. Here, as one of the largest parcels left in the area, it features a versatile rear studio, a detached 3-car carport, and a sublime envelope poised to usher in a new era of lifestyle luxury...
