Pretty Darn Gorgeous!

Adelaide's architectural style is easily recognizable to our interstate friends. Classical stone (bluestone & sandstone) houses set on large blocks of land laid out on a well-defined grid system of streets - that's what we're all about. Because I just can't help myself when it comes to these beautiful old buildings, here's a few offerings currently available at the moment for anyone tempted to cross the border & discover our hidden treasures. And still at very affordable prices - shhhhh!


A sensational double-fronted Edwardian sandstone villa in wonderful North Adelaide.


This very imposing Edwardian sandstone villa c.1910 with bay-window is in Fitzroy, a couple of minutes from the CBD.


A very cute double-fronted bluestone mid-Victorian villa in one of Adelaide's prettiest suburbs, North Adelaide.


A stunning bay-window early Victorian sandstone villa in magical Medindie.


A double-fronted sandstone Edwardian villa c.1910 in inner suburban Dulwich.


A big return verandah bluestone Edwardian villa c.1912 in Malvern.


A double-fronted Edwardian sandstone cottage/villa c.1908 in Parkside (in between Eastwood & Unley).


A double-fronted Edwardian sandstone villa c.1901 in fabulous Malvern.


A cute little single-fronted Victorian workman's cottage in Eastwood. So named as these were often a 'starter' house for a young couple. Eastwood adjoins the CBD, & often the residents worked in the big mansions close by, so they were able to walk to work each day from their home.


This bluestone villa in gorgeous Rose Park looks to be very early Victorian.


A cute Edwardian semi-detached (these properties were built as pairs sharing a common wall) in our old suburb, the lovely Unley.

And lastly, a picture of our old house, a late Victorian return-verandah (triple fronted) villa in Unley, complete with MOTH's much-loved standard Roses. A labour of love for over 15 years, much blood, sweat & tears were expended here, just as we're doing all over again here in Stirling!
