7 Waratah Way

As strong as the day the last of its 55000-odd bricks were hand-laid in place, the imposing two-level home that sets its eyes on Adelaide Oval from its terrace is also proof that they simply don't make them like they used to. Set on the high side of sought after Waratah Way, this grand 4-5-bedroom home serves a wider lens of our great city with every step up a tiered and potential filled parcel that falls just shy of a whopping 1936sqm (approx). Built by its one and only owners in 1985, this double brick home ensures palatial spaces create a freedom rarely seen - made all the more impressive by its head-turning facade and the soaring staircase and skylit void at its heart. Big bay windows, high ceilings and expansive living zones at almost every turn piece together a ground floor with every mood and occasion in mind. Whether it's formal dinners, casual festivities by a pool table and bar, spring lunches under the alfresco shade sail, cooking up storms, or sneaking away for a few hours of work, there will always be a space for it. So much of its appeal comes from the ahead-of-its-time floorplan that allocates all four bedrooms to the upper level. Two of those bedrooms boast a bay window - and tree-top view - of their own, including a master featuring an ensuite, walk-in robe and grand dimensions. From the solid timber kitchen that will continue to cook great meals for years to come to the second kitchen that will work hard behind the scenes, there's something to savour around every corner. As for that potential, simply head to the top of the block to see how easy driveway access and those tiers will accommodate a pool and, with council consent, perhaps another dwelling entirely. The home that's been so accommodating for so long...has its best days still ahead.
