It has been said that there were usually 3 steps being used for the waterfall effect. Featured parallel lines were often used in threes, and in the case of this home, the external protruding chimney shape and high ceiling cornices in rooms were in moulded lines of three. Unique, distinctive features that make this home a pivotal part of South Australian residential history.
Concealed lighting in the foyer ceiling together with the low scroll balustrade and the huge glass stairwell window give you the feeling of walking into a 1940's Hollywood home. Well designed throughout, the large formal sitting room overlooks the landscaped front garden. Adjacent, through double glass doors is a dining room with maximum light flowing through the windows and giving view to the rear porch and in ground pool. The eat-in kitchen is huge, with ample cupboard space and walk-in pantry. Original Walnut timber panelling features in the family room. A small versatile study, with external access adjoins the family room.
Upstairs are all 5 bedrooms. Four of the bedrooms are extra large with built-in wardrobes, and in their day, were designed with all different family members in mind. The 5th bedroom has bookshelves, built-in desks and cupboards all made of tulip oak. The main bedroom has double glass doors opening to a western balcony and access to the ensuite bathroom. Panelled vitrolite in rich, agate blue adorn the walls of the bathroom, with a subtle artistic etching found above the bath alcove. Amber terrazzo lines the floor. The second bathroom services the other bedrooms in a separate wing of the upstairs plan. This are also features an expansive alfresco deck with walls taking in the curved feel of the home.
Other notable features include, a downstairs powder room, large laundry with shower and toilet (ideal for access to the pool), lock up garaging with carport, and gas heating. The front garden has a stunning Blue Cedar tree as a major focal point and a rare significant Cape Chestnut sets the scene for a beautiful mature garden.
In near original condition, this home is situated on a commanding corner location on arguably the best Avenue in Adelaide. Brilliant potential here to restore this grand home.
