Depicting a first impression of grace and elegance whilst beholding a beautiful history spanning over multiple generations, this c1896 Victorian residence and its very rare 1,170sqm slice of seaside Semaphore is ready to change hands for the first time in 56 years - and it is our extreme pleasure to present it.

First constructed for Edmund Elkan – an importer and agent – the home became the Priory of the Carmelite Fathers of Port Adelaide Catholic Parish, before eventually forming the much-loved home of a growing family of nine.

More recently converted into three self-contained units, there is unlimited scope to acquire the property as an astute investment or restore it to its much-deserved former glory.

With Adelaide recently being the named the world's most beautiful city by famed Architectural Digest – and the Victorian architecture of Semaphore Beach receiving a special mention - we're certain the demand for a property this close to the beach would be infinite!

As for the nostalgic character adorned throughout the home, along with the natural light permeating through stained glass and atrium floor-to-ceiling windows, no matter where you are in the home you're reminded just how close you are to the sunny shores (100m to be exact), bringing a coastal-inspired calm to its glorious turn-of-the-century architecture.

With a rich history that cannot be recreated - and one of only two structures remaining with a railed rooftop lookout - this is your once-in-a-lifetime chance to own an iconic piece of Semaphore's past with an incredibly bright future...
