Surrounded by nature, this contemporary haven is designed for easy living. Its rich history is intriguing, but it's the modern, light-filled lifestyle surrounded by birdsong that is most appealing.
If you're looking for a home with the wow-factor, this iconic home in the foothills is it.
Uncover a unique slice of artistic endeavour. This industrial timepiece has been reworked into a light-filled, design-forward, three-bedroom home that shuns convention.
Mid-century style softens its semi-industrial cues. Stainless steel meets powder whites, hovering beams, louvred ventilation, cork and tile floors, and solid blackbutt stair treads. A flexibly designed, robust home that will stand up to anything.
Originally Tram Converter Station No.14 (c.1948), it was built to convert AC to DC power for Adelaide's historic tram network. Decommissioned in the 1950s, this solid concrete landmark has since evolved through multiple eras and in 2018, stepped boldly into a new groove that sharpened its edge without dulling its shine.
A renovation that references the past with something bespoke at every turn.
The ground floor unfolds from a central porch into a generous living zone, complemented by a private bedroom with separate entrance, verandah, built-in robes, and two-way ensuite – an ideal landing for a studio, guests, or even rental potential.
A substantial home office with adjoining laundry and toilet, completes the ground level.
The home's dynamic heart lies above – a fusion of kitchen, dining, open plan living, and generous balcony creates the ideal indoor/outdoor entertaining space. The upstairs master bedroom comes with built-in robes, ensuite and its own exclusive balcony.
Outdoors, the contrasts are even more compelling. A fully tiled, solar-heated pool sits within resort-like gardens, while a wisteria-clad verandah, deck and balconies, wrap the home in lush serenity – distinctly different from its industrial days.
For the home's owners of 16 years, other elements that come with the territory include a friendly neighbourhood, proximity to Zucchero Pasticceria, Baretto Café Bottega, the Rolling Pin Bakery & Patisserie, Magill Foodland, and abundant shopping and dining along Magill Road.
Pivot east for a home that skips the rule books.
