Last Listing description (March 2019)
In true Medindie fashion, the period villa with a walking pass to North Adelaide gets better and better with every beautiful step from quiet street to saltwater pool.
Yet, this 1880s built sandstone villa breaks the status quo with an architectural extension to surprise in a 3-4-bedroom home with some sass to match the period charm.
Ceilings soaring to 3.6m-high, intricate roses, robust architraves, deep cove cornicing, ornate fireplaces, and Baltic pine boards shine in a symmetrical original home with five large main rooms.
The master's ensuite with sliding barn door, eye-popping patterned tile floors, and matte black tapware is a trendy hint of what's to come.
The architectural addition is broken into three zones and two levels, all of it leading to a crowd-pleasing alfresco pavilion, that pool, a garage for your boat, and the realisation that this is anything but just another one-size-fits-all extension.
It starts with a galley kitchen boasting solid jarrah tops, stainless steel appliances, storage galore and an elongated breakfast bar so you can simultaneously cook up a storm and help the kids with homework.
Suddenly the extension splits into those two levels: a mezzanine and the sunken lounge room below it both as versatile and spacious as each other.
The icing on the cake is a fully updated main bathroom with moody charcoal colour scheme, wave feature tiling, wall-hung vanity and a walk-in shower with sleek frameless glass.
All of it so close to the CBD, you can leave the car at home and ride, bus or Uber to town in no time in true Medindie fashion.
