Perched atop a commanding position along one of Adelaide's most prestigious waterfront corridors, this substantial 1,263sqm lot offers a rare chance to build your beachside dream with the ocean as your daily backdrop. Set against the famous Somerton Park esplanade and framed by 22.1m of commanding frontage, this solidly constructed, architect-designed home delivers the rare ability to both preserve a piece of Adelaide's mid-century history or redevelop (STCC) into something truly spectacular.
Designed in 1972 by renowned South Australian architect John Andrew, this enduring concrete structure holds a timeless mid-century charm, elevated by strong lines, sun-filled living zones, and sweeping glass that frames the ocean beyond like living artwork. With the luxury of space, orientation, and uninterrupted proximity to the shore, the opportunity to redevelop or renovate comes with remarkable potential, whether you're dreaming of a luxury residence or a coastal sanctuary where architectural flair meets timeless function.
With its solid concrete wall construction, compliant in-ground pool, private wine cellar, and spacious multi-car garaging, the existing home offers exceptional livability or leasing potential while you plan your vision. Whether that's a high-end architectural residence, boutique development (STCC), or a complete redesign of the current footprint - the potential here is extraordinary. You'll enjoy waking to the sound of the surf, morning walks along the sand, and unrivalled sunset views night after night. Meanwhile, the best of Adelaide's coastal café culture, elite schools, and vibrant community are just around the corner.
And with direct CBD access via Anzac Highway, Adelaide Airport within 20 minutes, and the iconic Glenelg Marina Pier precinct only minutes away, you're not just buying beachfront - you're unlocking one of the state's most exclusive coastal lifestyles.
