The opportunity to own a historic property on North Terrace doesnt come along very often. Securely held in the same family for over 30 years, meticulously maintained and preserved, this is indeed a rare find.

Steeped in the history of Adelaide, Botanic Chambers is a gorgeous Victorian terrace home – part of one of the most substantial developments completed on North Terrace during the boom from the late 1860s to the mid 1880s.

The complex, constructed of Glen Osmond stone, was designed by architect Michael McMullen and built by J Barry in 1876-1877 for its first owner Richard Vaughan. In 1862 Vaughan established the nearby East End Market for selling general produce. Later this area grew to such an extent that by 1904 it was necessary to create a new market on land between Rundle and Grenfell Street.

The home has been lovingly cared for by its various owners for over 140 years, and is now available for sale.

Graciously set over three levels, the home consists of sitting room, dining room and family/kitchen living, four bedrooms, study, three bathrooms and courtyard.

The lower ground level has its own private entrance from North terrace, giving you the opportunity to run an office, lease to a business, or rent as a separate apartment (stcc).
Each room contains strikingly graceful period features and decorative trim. Lofty ceilings, delicate cornices, wide architraves, chandeliers and ornate Victorian fireplaces are all still in excellent condition. From the magnificent front door a glorious turned wooden stairway rises in front of you. Upstairs, French windows open out to a wrought iron balcony overlooking North Terrace.

The home also features reverse cycle airconditioning, solar panels, double glazing on all windows and a double lock up garage, providing incredible convenience for city dwelling.

The location could not get better – North Terrace has been established as a vibrant and beautiful tree-lined boulevard showcasing Adelaide’s cultural centre including the Art Gallery, State Library, the South Australian Museum and the two universities.

This is a truly special home in a spectacular location and an opportunity not to be missed.
