Nestled on a wide, tree-lined street in one of Adelaide's most exclusive locations, this substantial family home offers an abundance of accommodation and only moments from quality schools, shopping and the city.
Sitting proudly on this 19.5m wide allotment, the central paved pathway draws you through the front garden with its expansive lawn, manicured hedges and established trees. The front bluestone faade and verandah wrap around the northern side of the home.
The 2007 extension has been sophisticatedly merged with the original part of the home, creating a seamless fusion of old and new.
The wide traditional arched hallway with pine timber floors confirms the original part of the home. There is a luxury primary bedroom suite with warming open fireplace, huge walk-in robe and modern ensuite bathroom.
The front sitting room has a gas log fire and is flanked by built-in shelving and views over the front garden. There is also a large home office with external access and Ash wood bespoke cabinetry plus hidden cellar access. The current owners have a cellar room off the hallway with hand crafted wine racks and tasting area.
The home's extension provides a children's wing with 3 generous bedrooms, all with built-in robes and a bathroom of generous proportions which showcases the home's original claw-foot bath, re-enamelled and taking centre stage.
The north-west facing rear extension is flooded in northern light and has Tasmanian oak floors, hand-crafted recessed timber shelving, remote Escea gas fireplace and slide-back commercial style glass doors leading to the undercover outdoor entertaining area.
A modern kitchen overlooks the dining and family area with ample stone bench tops, appliance cupboard, large pantry, induction Bosch cooktop, under bench oven and dishwasher.
Remote controlled blinds in the alfresco entertaining area help with all-weather entertaining, while the electric wall heaters and ceiling fan provide additional comfort.
