Commanding pride of place on a sweeping corner allotment in Netherby's tightly held heart, 18 Delmare Avenue marries C1938 origins with a series of considered reinventions, creating a home that's utterly one of one.
From a cinematic Tudor façade wrapped in English-style gardens, to interiors expanded and refined under the eye of celebrated architect Pauline Hurren, this is a home that makes its intentions clear from the first glance: balanced, beautiful, and built to last another century in style.
Inside, every layer is intentional. Jarrah floors meet leadlight glass, stone meets sunlight, and ornate ceilings float above crisp, contemporary finishes, a reminder that craftsmanship and character still matter.
A grand entry unfolds to a formal lounge and dining room anchored by a gas log fire, before exhaling to a sunroom and elevated deck that bask in morning light year-round.
At its centre, the kitchen is part showpiece, part workhorse, with French-grey shaker cabinetry, sleek stone benchtops, and a Smeg dual-fuel cooker forming a space that's ready for any recipe or occasion. The adjoining family room, wrapped in glass, brings the garden into view from every angle.
Accommodation continues the calibre. Two oversized bedrooms and a flexible study are paired with luxe family bathroom, before the main suite takes centre stage. Bay windows continue the home's architectural rhythm, a walk-in robe answers every storage need, and a sleek ensuite with freestanding tub invites you to unwind.
Outdoors, the gardens unfurl like a private estate, a tapestry of wisteria-draped archways, curated gardens, and rolling lawns that feel worlds away from city life. From a vine-covered alfresco pavilion surrounded by productive veggie plots, to a series of patios, decks, and courtyards that chase the sun across the day, it's a botanical haven of rare privacy and year-round beauty.
Form and function move in lockstep: dual driveways, twin garages, extensive solar, ducted R/C A/C, alarm, CCTV, video intercom, irrigation, and even an under-house workshop with plumbing and wine cellar. Everything in its place, everything done to perfection.
The location seals the deal. Steps to The Ed for summer sips or winter reds in the beer garden, with Mitcham Square seconds away for morning coffee at Yeah Nah Yeah or Kicco, a movie at Wallis, or the weekly shop. With walking distance to Mitcham Primary, Unley High, Urrbrae, Scotch, Mercedes, and Concordia, the school run is seamless, while the CBD is only 15 minutes away.
The past, present, and future all look equally exceptional.
