Located in one of Thorngate"s prettiest streets, surrounded by charming villas and bungalows, this grand old return verandah villa is worth the effort to save - and "return to splendour".

Built in 1915 from local stone on a lovely allotment of approximately 963 square metres, the home features a beautifully crafted archway in the main entrance hall, which leads toward the hub of the home - a broad passageway and spacious rooms waiting for new life.

Nine main rooms are currently disposed as six bedrooms, formal living room, a large kitchen/dining room and open plan family room extension, with loads of storage areas and nooks plus large laundry, three bathrooms and toilets.

The layout of rooms is easily adaptable if the preference is to utilize two adjoining front bedrooms as one formal reception or two sitting rooms, while still allowing four or five bedrooms and a study.

Yes, there is much to be done, and there"s much to begin with ... of many time honoured features intact are original fireplaces, chimneys, stained glass windows and elaborate plasterwork.

Thorngate is one of Adelaide"s most tightly held suburbs, hugging the North Parklands, a pleasant walk to North Adelaide Village and near prestigious schools and colleges
