5 Osborne Street, Hackney, SA 5069

Tucked away in Hackney's hidden backstreets, Mocatta House emerges like the long lost treasure it is, stretching its freestone bones to the far reaches of a combined 1883sqm parcel with the valuable scope to divide, develop and conquer the vacant land at its southern feet. 

That land was once a tennis court. Today, it's a 544sqm blank canvas, recently sub-divided into its own title (5a), sitting pretty alongside a grand C1880 return verandah residence, frozen in the midst of a full-scale reimagining. 

Suddenly, a beautiful conundrum: to purchase it all as one sprawling residence with room to extend Mocatta House and reinstate the court to its glory days. Or treat the two as separate entities - acquire one and not the other. Build on the new title, live in it. Or don't. 

The sheer amount of options here; just as valuable as the options themselves.  

Mocatta House has been stripped back to its bare, strong bones, some of its 11 main rooms more exposed than others, each as grand and light-filled as the next across a layout that could be reconfigured to your liking. 

The current floorplan offers up to six bedrooms, three proposed bathrooms, a bevy of living zones and a sun-drunk rear conservatory with an eye on the oversized in-ground pool and extensive shedding. 

For all of its grandeur and presence, Mocatta House enjoys peaceful anonymity rarely felt so close to Adelaide's pulsing East End, just a stroll from the Botanic Gardens, St Peter's College and the Linear Park trial. History has hardly looked so exciting.
