46 Blackler Street SEMAPHORE, SA 5019

This outstanding offering of a unique villa with a very romantic history is situated in the heart of coastal Semaphore. It was built in the 1880's by Captain James Needle, an English sea captain, as a wedding gift for his wife, Phylis. He named the home Mimosa after the second brightest star in the Southern Cross.

Since the Needle family, the property has changed owners very few times and was with the previous family for around 75 years. The current family who live at Mimosa, have spent many years lovingly and meticulously restoring the property to its original glory and splendor. The hard work has been done including an extension and upgrades to the electrical and plumbing. The exquisite bluestone exterior has also been re-pointed.

This unique property offers a flexible floor plan situated over 2 levels with up to 4 bedrooms. The first level boasts a central hallway, a master bedroom with bay window, second bedroom with an open fireplace and antique shield back cupboards. Both rooms have great views overlooking the front garden. The homes main living area adjoins the upgraded timber kitchen.

A fabulous cellar offers room to keep your collection of fine wines but also the opportunity for a great study. The home also features a stunning bathroom offering a claw bathtub with quality fixtures and fittings.

Moving outside, there is plenty of entertaining area around the sparkling in-ground swimming pool.
