You could be forgiven for mistaking this Burnside home for a historic mansion.
Its grand facade and 19th century-style interior offer an old-world charm – but the home is actually less than 30 years old.
The four-bedroom house at 35 Royal Avenue, which is on the market, was built in 1993 by renowned Adelaide builder David Cheney.
Martin Real Estate director Colin Martin, who is selling the 1680sqm property, said the owners worked with Cheney to design the period recreation and spared no expense building it.

“They waited and waited for him to be available to do it,” he said.
“It looks like a small castle from the road because it has that turret look to it in the brickwork.
“Leading up to the property … it gives off a very stately feel.”

The heart of the home is an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with chandeliers, quality wallpapers and an abundance of windows – including a bay window – that fill the home with natural light
The dining room opens to the garden at one side, and to a covered alfresco entertainment area at the other.
There’s also an arbour and a shed outside, among established landscaped gardens, covered parking for six cars and a cellar.
Mr Martin said the owners were selling the home, which is listed without a price tag, to downsize.
