BEST OFFERS BY TUESDAY 27TH OCTOBER AT 11AM (UNLESS SOLD PRIOR).
Situated on one of North Adelaide's most sought-after residential streets, this gracious bluestone villa has recently undergone a complete architectural transformation that redefines effortless luxury living.
The choreographed blend of magnificent historic features and a high-end contemporary aesthetic, together with its glorious garden setting and proximity to the city makes this one of the most highly desirable offerings on today's market.
HISTORY AND DESIGN
As part of the town acre block originally purchased by pioneer city councillor George Anderson, the house was built in 1889 by James Odlum who is responsible for the construction of many of the enchanting villas that grace the surrounding streets. It remained in his family for over 60 years.
Sitting behind its original cast iron fence and emerging from manicured formal plantings, the elevated symmetrical façade with an intricate lace trimmed veranda, is a particularly fine example of Odlum's work.
In collaboration with Thus Constructions, the current owners have drawn on their love and expertise in design and architecture to restore and elevate the interior by sourcing period and contemporary elements from around the world, and cleverly redefining and expanding the existing floorplan.
FAMILY ACCOMMODATION
Flanking the wide central hallway with high ceilings and soft polished boards, the principal rooms are generous in scale and highly versatile in nature.
Currently comprising four beautifully proportioned bedrooms, the primary suite is a triumph of conceptual design. This lavish sanctuary incorporates a walk-in robe and indulgent ensuite clad in stunning Super White Dolomite, with dual vanities, curved cabinetry, heated floors and towel rail, and a marble mantle with rare arched tile surround.
The large family bathroom with a bath and built in storage mirrors, the ensuite's chic aesthetic.
OPEN PLAN LIVING AND KITCHEN
Connected by a soaring arched French door, open plan living is large in scale and elegantly appointed with a marble fireplace and gas coal fire, designer sconces, and a wall of sliders that frame the sensational private walled garden.
Designed with clean simplicity to maximise space and functionality, the kitchen with integrated appliances wraps around to an elevated platform with a second sink, display shelves, Ziptap and a European laundry; whilst a walk-in pantry conceals storage, appliances and prep space.
ALFRESCO LIVING AND GARDEN
Linked to the indoors by substantial sliders and a servery window, outdoor dining includes a ceiling fan and an automated Eclipse louvred roof for sun, shade or shelter.
With a unique corrugated wall that slides open, the two-car garage cleverly doubles as a contemporary outdoor living/entertaining space that spills onto the slate paved patio.
The enchanting garden provides a verdant outlook and a peaceful haven in which to potter and entertain.
Slate paving weaves its way around the house past a wall clad with espaliered star jasmine, layered hedging, lawn, fragrant gardenia, an orange tree laden with fruit, and a row of Forest Pansy with a seasonal display of colourful foliage.
