35 Dudley Street, Semaphore, SA 5019

This landmark home was constructed in 1878 and sits high and proud on it's elevated site in historic beachside Semaphore. Originally constructed by Josiah Oldfield, a settler who was responsible for bringing the first steam engine to the state of South Australia.

Extensively updated and extended in recent years, the home now offers an up to the minute lifestyle while still retaining the character and charm of the original home. All 4 main rooms to the front of the property feature high ceilings and original fireplaces. Three are currently used as bedrooms with built in robes, the 4th a versatile area with the option of another bedroom, a sitting room or formal dining room.

The kitchen has been updated to be sympathetic to the homes character with solid timber cupboards, a large island bench area, stainless steel appliances, room for a second fridge/freezer and the original fireplace area. This area gives access to the open plan dinning area and casual living room, overlooking the sparking in-ground swimming pool. A spacious main bathroom has also undergone a recent renovation with a more contemporary feel. There is another versatile room to the rear of the home that is currently used as a study/home office.

Outside is an entertainer's delight and offers a great all year round space. There is a large undercover entertaining patio with shade and weather blinds adjoining the stunning inground solar heated swimming pool. To the rear of the property is a great area offering another entertaining space. This pool room style area is complete with wet bar, room for the pool table and another entertaining space. It is complete with a second bathroom that has direct access from both the pool and the rumpus room.

Additional features to the home include storage areas to the rear, gas heating, reverse cycle air-conditioning, water filter, parking space for 4-5 vehicles, security mesh screens and much more. All this in an unbeatable location, only a short walk to the beach, transport and Semaphore Road Precinct, minutes from local shopping centres and the waterfront development of Port Adelaide. Overall an impressive and imposing historic character home that is a must to inspect.
