A magnificent opportunity to secure a landmark residence of impressive proportions and historic architectural significance.

This grand and distinctive home offers a luxurious family lifestyle imbued with warmth and homeliness, expansive entertaining options, tranquil retreats and sweeping manicured grounds all on one of the quietest and most sought-after of Medindie’s exclusive streets.

HISTORY & ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES
Built c.1905 for Misses Anne, Mabel, Susan and Lilla Hornabrook, ‘Braemar’ is perhaps the finest example of the distinctive and popular Arts and Crafts architectural movement in South Australia.

The turn of the 20th century collaboration between renowned Adelaide architects English and Soward, and prominent Sydney architect E. Jeaffreson Jackson (whose huge influence on early 20th century Sydney architecture can be seen across the North Shore), produced an extraordinarily unique and architecturally significant residence with a rare charm and pedigree that has stood the test of time.

Fine craftsmanship throughout provides a striking organic fairytale quality. The original spacious, versatile and functional footprint has remained largely unaltered, with recent renovations enhancing the opulent feel of the home.

Brackets, corbels and exposed rafters support the multi-gabled roof of terracotta tiles with tall tapered chimneys. Two slate-hooded bays of leadlight casement windows flank the grand entrance, with the central gable boasting a rustic timber lintel and unpainted timber shingles - one of Jackson’s signatures design elements.

Inside, glorious period features include polished floors, fireplaces, box bay casement windows, unique plaster arches (also typical of Jackson’s work), enchanting coloured leadlight, exposed timber beams and jarrah ceiling boards.

FORMAL ROOMS
A lavish entry hall leads to a huge foyer that is central to the floorplan. With a fireplace and doors flowing into the formal rooms, it forms an impressive entertaining area in its own right.

Both the dining room and formal sitting room are expansive and packed with stunning period details. The dining room features cosy arched window nooks, perfect for pre-dinner drinks or curling up with a book.

‘GARDEN ROOM’ & CELLAR
The newly completed “garden room” provides a more informal place to entertain or relax, and a study nook. Italian herringbone brick tiled floors and windows give a light and airy indoor-outdoor conservatory stye feel.

A staircase descends to a generous brick cellar.

MODERN OPEN PLAN LIVING
Recently renovated, open plan living has been designed and executed to an outstanding standard. Maintaining the original windows with garden views, the gourmet kitchen features bespoke cabinetry, stone countertops and Smeg appliances.

The adjacent butler’s pantry is huge and includes an integrated dishwasher and fridge space.

A central island bench intersects living and dining with a picture window and French doors linking to the spectacular outdoors.

Entry from the 4-car carport leads through an arched lobby to the family zone, by-passing a large marble laundry, guest powder and storage room.

BEDROOMS
Bedroom accommodation forms its own wing, with a central passage that opens onto a delightful Juliet balcony. Each of the 4 bedrooms incorporate arched entry casement windows that form the perfect spot to sit or study.

The glamorous master suite includes an ensuite bathroom and newly outfitted walk-in dressing room for the fashionista. Another boasts a walk-in robe and ensuite - perfect for the guest or teen.

The main bathroom features marble tiles, a freestanding bath and magnificent original stained-glass windows.

GROUNDS AND OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING
A range of exceptional alfresco entertaining options include an outdoor games room, heated pool, dining terraces and lawns.

The sweeping manicured grounds surrounding the home are something truly special. Clipped hedges, topiaries, lawns, mature trees, herringbone paths and roses enhance its prettiness and ground it in nature. A proud palm tree pays homage to the street name.

From casual living, covered dining overlooks the sunken lawns, garden and solar heated pool. At the bottom of the garden, a picturesque rose clad dining pavilion.

A fabulous games room/studio for effortless entertaining includes a bar, whilst the 4-car carport and additional parking bay could double as another area in which to entertain on a large scale.
