For Sale By Best Offer: November 12th 2024 at 12:00 pm (Unless Sold Prior)
Welcome to "Gable Ends," a historic landmark estate that has been cherished and celebrated by its current owners for over four decades. Originally built in 1844, this stately residence embodies the elegance of a bygone era and has been the backdrop for countless family milestones, from weddings to birthdays, creating lifelong memories. Set on a rare and expansive acre block (approx. 4143 sqm), this magnificent property now presents a unique opportunity to reimagine a piece of South Australian history.
A Story of Timeless Elegance and Rich History
Steeped in heritage, the property's story began in 1844, a defining period for South Australia.

In 1860, the property was acquired by Reverend Thomas Playford, a pioneering pastor and the patriarch of one of South Australia's most influential political families. With such prominent figures as its custodians, this home has been central to Adelaide's historical narrative.
A Perfect Blend of the Old and the New
The property's grandeur was thoughtfully enhanced in the 1990s by renowned designer Pauline Hurren, who masterfully preserved its historic charm while introducing contemporary comforts."Gable Ends" now stands as a perfect blend of historic architecture and family living.

A Canvas for Your Own Legacy
