126 Gage Street, Firle SA 5070

Period stone villa on 1028sqm | heritage character unmatched in Firle | near-city premium pocket | rare six-bedroom configuration The property offers a genuinely rare combination in Firle’s tightly held heritage precinct: a six-bedroom stone villa on over a thousand square metres within minutes of the city. For a buyer seeking period character with scale, the red brick quoins, return verandah and 1890s provenance signal a house that commands attention in any portfolio. The 505sqm building footprint suggests generous room proportions and scope for reconfiguration, while the three-car garage with additional open spaces meets the practical demands of a family or executive household. This suits a buyer who values architectural distinction over turnkey convenience and who understands that heritage zoning protects the very character that makes the address desirable. Heritage overlay is the defining constraint: it limits external alterations and may slow approvals for extensions or modernisation. The buyer should budget for specialist trades and council liaison. The internal area of 170sqm per sources indicates the six bedrooms may be compact, so verify floorplan efficiency. The 2007 purchase history means no recent renovation data is available; a building inspection is non-negotiable. On opportunity, the large lot and absence of bushfire or flood overlays reduce holding risk, while the Norwood International High School catchment adds demographic stability. Hold this property as a long-term family home or a prestige rental; its scarcity in the market means patient owners rarely lose ground.
