Last Listing description (August 2024)

Auction Sat, 11th May - 11.30am (usp)

Inspired by the English Tudors of a bygone era, akin to the prestigious residences that define Melbourne's Toorak and etched into Brown Hill Creek's serene doorstep; worlds and eras collide to make 'Ballantyne House' arguably Torrens Park's proudest mark on its storied timeline.

Five years in the making, the latest mark might just be the most notable of all; a meticulous, no-penny-spared renovation that paid stylish, deep respect to the old-world charm of this C1940 two-level home on a boundless south-north parcel, just steps from esteemed Scotch College.

Locals stop to admire the inch-perfect, professionally curated greenery that drapes itself over the home's imposing facade and carves out one of the most tranquil poolside settings you'll ever see within a 15-minute drive of Adelaide's CBD.

Custom steel doors frame those gardens like large, light-grabbing works of art on the wall - and signal the transition between the bevy of living zones that make up the bright, airy and free-flowing lower level.

Whether it's the rear conservatory, regal formal lounge, the study that opens up to the heated alfresco pavilion, the home theatre/4th bedroom or the Carrara marble-laden gourmet kitchen with 900mm Smeg appliances, every conceivable mood and occasion finds its perfect place.

Exposed beams, leadlight casement windows, polished oak floors and the hand-crafted timber-staircase headline the original hallmarks that live so harmoniously with the recently-added terrazzo-style floor tiling, custom joinery, chic soft furnishings and slick bathrooms.

Shouts of 'Marco Polo' from the heated pool, late night stories swapped over the fire pit, fierce basketball battles, and Sunday BBQs cooked outside and shared on a 'crazy-paved' patio; it's the little moments here that will make the biggest mark of all.
