Prepare to be impressed as the real surprise is beyond the front gates - High gabled pitched roofing with slate tiled flooring offers parking for one or two cars & extends to a stunning al fresco patio with feature cobblestones. High hedges & gorgeous deciduous trees up to 3 metres high, line the boundary of this splendid home and provides green colour, coolness from summer heat and sheer privacy from the very few neighbours in this peaceful location. A botanical garden setting - unique, elegant & very pretty in this inner city exquisite residence.
The entry lobby opens to a truly impressive Living room with timber flooring, 2.75m ceilings and picture windows. The feeling of space and immense luxury is immediate - the contrast of industrial engineering & design blended with traditional elegance is a surprise and complements beautifully the entire home which has an air of a New York or London abode - rarely seen in Adelaide properties.
The open plan of the lower level flows to the white French Provincial kitchen with ample cupboards and storage, black glass oven & cooktop & contrasting black granite benchtops with a breakfast bar designed for casual entertaining.
Directly across from the kitchen is a magnificent angular wall of glass which spans the two levels to a spectacular height of 5.32 metres and is a major feature of the ground floor and brings in the beauty of this second courtyard adorned with green hedges, tall trees & variety of plants. Simply stunning! A sweeping open staircase adds a dramatic contrast to the walls of glass and does not at all compromise any floor space of the lower level.
The bespoke Dining has floor to ceiling commercial grade doors which open directly to this area providing seamless indoor / outdoor entertaining even in winter as it is so perfectly positioned & sheltered.
The European laundry is good in size and can easily be transformed into a 2nd full size bathroom if required. A powder room is privately sited to the side of the downstairs level convenient for both indoor & outdoor entertaining.
The upper level sleeping accommodation is separate, private & quietly separated by the structurally engineered concrete slab between the two floors and plush carpet. The cathedral ceilings range from 4.12m to a massive 4.40m reinforcing space & light. A hallway with glass balustrade and wall of floor to ceiling storage separates the Master Suite at the rear from bedrooms 2 & 3 which also have good separation. The clever design elements continue to impress as you walk through the upper level.
The Master Bedroom is so inviting and luxurious with magnificent floor to ceiling windows on 2 sides to bring in the greenery and blue sky and picture window on the 3rd side to bring in the Northern sunlight and additional Split System A/C for extra comfort. Sliding doors open to a dressing room with floor to ceiling storage then open to a grand size white designer bathroom with double vanity, glassed rainforest shower, inset bath, feature window, 4.12m ceiling and has a/c!
Bedrooms 2 & 3 are both QS - bedroom 3 has a wall of floor to ceiling robes whilst a major feature of Bedroom 2 is the glass wall with outlook to the cavernous glass void & SS A/C.
Outdoor entertaining is a delight in this wonderful home which is ideal equally for mature families, professional executives or the discerning buyer who desires security, privacy and the cosmopolitan lifestyle that is unique to North Adelaide.
The picturesque main courtyard adjacent to the rear of the home and car parking is spacious and has ample room for seating, outdoor sofas and BBQ. A very neat 2-way garden shed / storage separates Courtyards 1 & 2 and can open to link them for larger outdoor gatherings.
Built in 1991 and impeccably designed, No. 28 has been masterfully renovated by the current owners of 10 years to include the quality & custom appointments expected within a blue chip offering- RC A/C throughout, timber flooring, light fittings & window treatments, plush carpets, gas HWS and stunning landscaping.
Just metres to the Parklands, a short stroll to the Piccadilly Cinemas and numerous quality restaurants that line O'Connell Street plus proximity to Adelaide Oval and the CBD, No. 28 Ralston really epitomises what a quality offering in North Adelaide provides - Luxury, Location & Lifestyle!
