Last Listing description (December 2019)
Sometimes a mid-century classic finds the right pair of hands to take it the extra mile - herein lies that home on the doorstep of Immanuel College...
A 1950s stone fronted home turns 5-bedroom high-quality reinvention, taking a lengthy and courageous leap into Hamptons chic with a liberal serve of German design.
From its auto gate and 2nd driveway one for the trailer or boat to new double-glazed windows, an outdoor kitchen alfresco, heated pool, swim jets, sauna and a hot/cold outdoor shower on a landscaped, 724sqm allotment with utility provisions for a granny flat.
Take that in. Can it get any more exciting inside?
It does. A light, bright Hamptons vibe, new cornicing, traditional wainscoting, a custom kitchen, a mezzanine level, 2 happening new bathrooms, and storage everywhere.
The main bathroom/laundry superseding any other in the storage stakes in Europe, tight spaces insist, here it is a quality way of life - with marble-veined tiles stepping up to a deep, bath/shower combo with German tapware.
The master, given a grey on white ambience, steals the original main bathroom as its ensuite, but so much better.
And with 3m ceilings, a kids' room mezzanine floor means toys are piled out of sight and sleepovers are more fun up high each remaining suite is robed and versatile, the front bedroom with a feature fireplace.
An exposed feature wall cues the classically Hamptons kitchen with stainless appliances, integrated fridge/freezer, induction cooktop, and custom-fitted marble-hued benchtops.
Beyond the flow of family living, the sprawling block preserves lawns for play or that granny flat - and exotic fruit trees such as prunes, figs, citrus and macadamias, while the garden takes a Euro summer twist; sweat in the outdoor sauna admiring the pool's landscape, or rinse off under a warm outdoor shower while the kids splash beneath the pool sail.
All this in one home is rare
What you also get is proximity to the city and the beach, easy school drop-offs to Immanuel College or Plympton International College, plus retail spoils at Westfield Marion.
Go big or go vogue. Bourlang does both.
