Exquisite sandstone character home c.1910, grand character, remarkable scale and endless possibilities on 743sqm.
***Offers Close, Wednesday 5th August 12pm ***
Some homes impress with their character. Others with their size. Rarely do you find a home that delivers both with some incredibly unique details.
Beyond its henpecked sandstone façade lies a residence of extraordinary proportions, where the elegance of a bygone era has been thoughtfully paired with expansive family living. Set in one of Unley's most tightly held pockets, just moments from Unley Oval, boutique shopping, cafés and some of Adelaide's finest schools, this is a home that celebrates heritage while embracing the way families live today.
From the moment you step inside, the craftsmanship is captivating. Soaring ceilings adorned with magnificent decorative plasterwork, intricate cornices, colourful leadlight windows, polished timber floors and original fireplaces speak to an era when homes were built to inspire. The formal sitting room is a true showpiece, where an exquisite decorative ceiling, beautifully curved domed corners, custom arched bookcases and a warming combustion fireplace create a space for warm winter nights and cosy intimate entertaining.
What truly sets this home apart, however, is its extraordinary scale.
An extensive rear addition transforms this beautiful home into an exceptional family residence, offering a level of accommodation and flexibility that is rarely found in homes of this era. With up to six bedrooms, or five generous bedrooms plus a sophisticated formal living room, there is room for growing families, teenagers seeking their own retreat, guests, working from home or multi-generational living.
At the heart of the home to the rear, an expansive open-plan family living and dining space is flooded with natural light beneath impressive high ceilings, creating a wonderful sense of openness while remaining warm and inviting. A dedicated study nook provides a practical workspace, while an enormous adjoining games room or home theatre offers the freedom to tailor the space entirely to your family's lifestyle. Whether that's movie nights, children's playroom, gym, studio or entertaining on a grand scale.
Connecting the outdoors, wide sliding doors open onto a generous undercover alfresco pergola, creating a generous space for entertaining family and friends throughout the seasons.
The renovated kitchen embraces understated Scandinavian-inspired design, combining warm oak tones, soft grey cabinetry and stone benchtops with quality appliances including Ilve induction cooking, a wide wall oven and Miele dishwasher. Beautifully positioned as the social hub of the home, it is equally suited to busy family mornings or relaxed evenings spent entertaining.
Both bathrooms have been stylishly renovated with a calm, luxurious aesthetic. Stone-topped vanities, quality tapware, heated towel rails and elegant feature tiling create refined spaces that feel both timeless and indulgent. The main offering underfloor heating.
Outside, the generous allotment offers exciting possibilities for the future. The expansive rear garden provides ample lawn for children and pets today, while still leaving abundant space to create your dream swimming pool, extend the outdoor entertaining or even design a luxurious master suite if desired (subject to any necessary approvals). This is a home that allows its next owners to make it uniquely their own without ever compromising on the remarkable footprint already on offer.
Practicality is equally impressive, with extensive off-street parking accommodating multiple vehicles, boats, trailers or caravans, together with a rear garage and workshop.
Homes of this calibre are exceptionally rare. Beautifully preserved, thoughtfully updated and offering a scale seldom found in character homes, this is a residence designed to evolve alongside its family for many years to come.
