Commanding an elevated and prominent position atop the famed aquamarine waters of Glenelg and Glenelg South, is this grand, circa 1925 mansion that has undergone sympathetic rejuvenations to highlight irreplaceable character features whilst also presenting the rarest of opportunities for one to leave their mark on this iconic beachfront property's important legacy.

This immense corner allotment of approximately 1,096 sqm is bordered by towering Norfolk Pines, private mature plantings and unassailable stone retaining walls, yet, also grants uninterrupted and truly magnificent views across Adelaide's dynamic foreshore from multiple vantage points.

Beyond original wrought iron gates, one accesses this return verandah bungalow via a massive wrap-around terrace, accentuated by multiple stone arches, character-laden ledlight windows and a feature stone turret that overlooks the glistening ocean and accompanying sunsets.

Internally, the formal welcoming hall and complimentary tessellated tiled flooring ushers one into this expansive and bright heritage home. Complete with lofty decorative ceilings, polished Baltic Pine floorboards, marble fireplaces, tall skirtings, stylish chandeliers, traditional cornicing, oversized archways and ornate architraves, elegance and grandeur pervade throughout this period residence.

Recent renovations and upgrades have ensured the generously sized rooms in the spacious period wing of the residence will retain their originality well into the future.

Separate to this already immense offering, is the ability to extend and further enhance (STCC) given the allotment's large rear yard, dual wide street frontages, rear lane access and inclusion of a separate two-storey building with balcony and bathroom in the backyard.

Located astride the coveted esplanade in highly sought after Glenelg South, and within a short stroll to cafes, boutique shopping and epicurean delights, a famous jetty, as well as some of Adelaide's finest private and public education providers, this beachfront home offers an enviable lifestyle often sought but seldom found.

36 South Esplanade resides at the intersection of the character of yesteryear and unlimited potential; representing the rarest of opportunities to secure a truly iconic residence in one of Adelaide's most elite suburbs.
