Built in Glenelg's glorious roaring '50s, this Art Deco manor rises from its leafy setting with the confidence of a home that has seen a century and only grown more captivating with time.
So beguiling it's easy to fall head over heels in love, 19 Maturin Road pairs six-bedroom scale and solid double-brick substance with all the romance of a golden-era masterpiece - perfect as is, yet sparking inspiration should you wish to continue its evolution and add your own touch.
It begins beyond a century-old garden that moves to the rhythm of the seasons - pink and purple agapanthus and hydrangeas in summer, figs in February, a magnificent magnolia in bloom, roses in white and yellow, and the feature Virginia creeper that cloaks the façade in cooling green during summer before turning a blaze of red, maroon and gold come autumn.
Behind that storied frontage: high 3-metre ceilings on both levels, curved stair balustrade, grand central hall with dual outlooks to front and rear, and a classic upstairs balcony that welcomes guests as warmly as the fireplace does in winter.
Multiple living zones stretch across two expansive levels. Downstairs, a flexible bedroom and full bathroom sit beside generous formal and casual rooms, while north-facing rear windows draw light into the kitchen and everyday living spaces that spill out toward garden and pool.
Upstairs, five further bedrooms and two bathrooms create peaceful quarters, crowned by a grand master suite and a sunroom that doubles beautifully as a home office, studio or business space - a layout as adaptable as family life demands.
The 9-metre pool, framed by gazebos at either end, sets the scene for long summer afternoons and warm September-to-April swims thanks to its energy-efficient heater.
Then, a dedicated poolroom adds yet another dimension for entertaining, while a powerful reverse-cycle system keeps every one of the home's 14 principal rooms in sublime comfort year-round.
And then there's the location: just a short stroll to Glenelg Beach and the vibrant heart of Jetty Road - soon to unveil its significant upgrade - you're close enough to feel the coastal buzz, yet perfectly removed to savour the peace.
The tram to the CBD, buses to leading colleges and zoning for Brighton High School only enhance the appeal, with St Peter's Woodlands just across the road.
In heritage 'fall in love' style, this home is a true architectural treasure of Glenelg's golden era - a Tuscan-inspired manor built to last centuries more, but ready for its next chapter now.
