23 Maesbury Street, Kensington, SA 5068

This is a special home in the historic eastern suburb of Kensington, situated only 4kms from the city. The iconic double fronted bluestone villa continues to be one of the most enduring and sought after styles in Adelaide.

The current custodian has lived in this beautiful home for over two decades and in this time has extended and enhanced the classical features.

Entertainers will most definitely be attracted to this home which will allow you to host your friends and colleagues most regally or as casually as you like. The formal lounge and dining room both open through double doors to a Northern sun drenched side verandah and a huge traditionally tiled patio.

At the rear of the home, adjoining the kitchen, is a stunning glass walled atrium room with black & white tiled floor for casual dining and living and also opening though two sets of double glass doors to separate side and rear elevated, tiled verandahs. From this rear room and verandahs you will enjoy the view of the structured, symmetrical garden which has extensive paving and mature trees and shrubs. Outside, inside, North, South or West...the choice is yours, depending on the season.

There are three double bedrooms, two with panelled built in robes. The kitchen has American oak cupboards, large gas stove with range hood, dishwasher and also features the original wood stove in working order. The sparkling spacious white bathroom includes a deep bath and separate shower and the toilet is also separate, as is the laundry.

Those of you who are wine buffs will want this must have full height, dry and easy staircase accessible wine cellar to store your favourite drop.
