EXPANSIVE ARCHITECTURAL ENTERTAINER SITUATED ON SWEEPING PARKLIKE GROUNDS WITH A COURT AND POOL IN A PRIVATE DRESS-CIRCLE ENCLAVE
Privately situated in an exclusive enclave surrounded by some of Adelaide’s most prestigious and iconic properties, this unique c.1982 architectural masterpiece is a triumph of timeless modern style.
With a sophisticated interior makeover by Enoki and garden created by Virginia Kennett, its highly considered design and expansive proportions cleverly emphasise light, comfort and indoor/outdoor connection.
Nestled on a magnificent landholding approximating over 2,600sqm, the house is embraced by sweeping landscaped grounds that incorporate a pool, synthetic floodlit tennis court, and an outdoor studio.
ENTRANCE
With a secluded position at the end of a long remote gated driveway, the house is not visible from the street, ensuring privacy and peace.
Dappled by a majestic elm tree, the striking all white façade offset by lush plantings comprises two gabled wings that flank a wisteria clad entrance.
A grand double door opens to the expansive and versatile interior, with intersecting wide oak floored hallways connecting wings of zoned living bathed in light from all angles.
PRIMARY WING
Forming its own private and luxurious interconnected wing is the sensational primary retreat.
Gazing across the pool and rear garden, the spacious master bedroom takes centre stage, with a luxuriant ensuite replete with soaking tub, heated floors and floating marble clad vanities at arm’s reach.
A huge walk-in dressing room is the fashionista’s dream, with wrap-around hanging, a mirrored wall and an attic ladder accessing roof storage.
To complete this exceptional suite is a generous parents’ retreat and study with a fireplace, built-in bookcases and a picture window.
BEDROOM WING AND LIVING RETREAT
This wing is dedicated to the kids. Three spacious bedrooms with built-in joinery share a bathroom with a heated floor and separate WC.
With a subtle octagonal shape designed to capture light, the vast and extremely versatile second living room with built-in joinery and a fireplace makes the perfect living retreat or games room for kids and grown-ups alike.
EXPANSIVE OPEN PLAN LIVING AND DINING
Of outstanding design, open plan living and dining is monumental in size and forms the ultimate space for large scale entertaining and everyday comfort.
Flooded in light from walls of full length windows and doors that celebrate and connect to the glorious resort style outdoors, living centres around an open fire and display shelves, whilst a built-in bar is the perfect spot to share an intimate cocktail with friends.
The adjacent powder room with a floating tiled vanity, mirrored wall and designer pendant, is a chic stop for guests.
KITCHEN
Connected by double doors to living and dining to create one huge interconnected space, the kitchen is a statement in integrated design.
The focal point is the Caesarstone topped island with a concrete table extension. Black cabinetry wraps around the edge and incorporates a range of integrated European appliances. A wall of bifold windows expand to create a long servery for easy outdoor entertaining.
RESORT STYLE OUTDOORS
The ultimate urban paradise for young and old, a home of this size and calibre would not be complete without sweeping grounds and resort style outdoor entertaining for backyard barbies and large scale parties.
Virginia Kennett has excelled in a design of textured contemporary plantings that compliment architectural elements, frame the pool and court, add interest and functionality, and provide a backdrop of peace and privacy for this sensational family home.
French doors spill through to undercover dining and relaxation beside the fully tiled pool. An elevated platform with a built in BBQ sits beneath a majestic tree whilst beyond, a deep garden and paved firepit area with a sculptural wall on which to perch.
A lawn sweeps past the floodlit synthetic grass court for day/night tennis games and even marquees, towards a versatile two roomed studio retreat, ideal for gym equipment.
