Built around 1900 this remarkable homestead villa is one of Blackwood’s most significant character homes. Originally designed for the harbourmaster of Port Adelaide as his summer residence, this home is located in a quiet street only a stone’s throw from the centre of Blackwood.

If only the walls could talk with over 100 years of stories to be told. The home is grand, but not overstated and has a welcoming warmth as you enter through the front doors into the entry. Everywhere you look the original features capture your attention, from the ornate cornices to the skilfully designed mantel pieces.

The attention to detail is amazing with the restoration of existing fittings such as the feature door. Furniture and the modern improvements have all been meticulously thought through to compliment the historic features of the home.

Turning to your left you enter through a set of double doors featuring Edwardian bevel cut glass giving a classical entry to the formal dining room. The table is set under a beautiful chandelier with one of the homes hand crafted mantle pieces as the back drop to this exceptional room.

To the right of the entry, the living room features ornate cornices, spectacular chandelier, character fire place and French doors opening out to the shaded verandah ticking all of the boxes in class, character and function.

The master bedroom is located in the north eastern wing of the house comprising of a complete parent’s retreat including a walk-in dressing room, upgraded ensuite and a study that captures ample natural light throughout the day.

As you walk down the main hallway through the centre of the house, you will pass by the 3 generous bedrooms, 2 of which have studies facing north allowing children or guests to have their own private area to work, study or just relax and read a book.

Close proximity to the bedrooms at the end of the passage is the master bathroom, beautifully upgraded to compliment the style and character of yesteryear.

Next to the dining room is a large modern kitchen that must be seen to be believed, with such beauty and perfect design that could only be achieved by someone who was patient, knowledgeable and passionate about their home.

For the lovers of good wine there is the original cellar under half of the kitchen, ready to house your best Penfold’s grange.

Winter or summer, you will be able to find the perfect place to enjoy the out doors. Venture through the French doors out under the veranda and look out at the rain falling in the garden or on a warm summers day entertain your friends in the shade of the vine covered pergola.

Situated on 1736m2 (approx), the gardens that surrounds the house has private spaces which capture the sweet scent of roses when in bloom, generous open spaces for growing your own vegetables watered by a large rainwater tank or mains water, and a spectacular lawn large enough for the family to enjoy. A large double garage at the front of the house is perfect to house your collectable classic.

Do not miss our open inspections or private inspections as viewing this home is truly a memorable experience. I have personally fallen in love with this home, and I know that you will too.
