Steeped in local history, historic 'Ridge Line' rises majestically above leafy canopies offering striking sight lines across Adelaide's dynamic skyline but also presents a sublime Mediterranean minimalist atheistic done to the highest of international standards, reminiscent of terraces in London, villas in Lake Como and brownstones in New York City.

Superlatives do little to encapsulate and truly convey the feeling this property engenders; an effortless feeling of refinement and luxury.
