A true hidden sanctuary in Adelaide's coveted east, 23A Taylor Terrace reveals little to the street beyond a private driveway and lush, established gardens. Beyond this discreet frontage unfolds an architecturally designed solid brick residence - a masterclass in proportion, natural light and enduring craftsmanship. Bespoke in its detailing and thoughtfully composed for family living, the home rests on a substantial 920sqm (approx.) allotment, delivering both presence and privacy in equal measure.
Behind a texturally rich brick façade, the home kicks off with a skylit gallery-style tiled entry hall - 8.6m long and with adjustable track lighting so you can perfectly display your prized artworks. The living areas flank the entry, a carpeted combined lounge/dining room opening onto an airy covered pergola, while the timber-floored kitchen/family room/casual meals area has a slider into an open-air alfresco entertaining courtyard.
If you love to cook, you'll love this kitchen! Crisp white from top to toe, it's kitted with all the mod cons and has generous bench space and storage. Likewise, if you enjoy collecting wine, there's a dedicated storage room with wall racking ready to house your finest Chablis and Chardonnays!
The home's sleeping quarters, comprising 3 carpeted beds - all with BIRs and outside access - can evolve with your needs. The large master has an ensuite with a shower and tub and shares a courtyard with the bedroom beside it - so the latter could transform from a nursery into a reading room or study. The third bed is on its own, across the hall from a 2-way bathroom and the laundry.
Beyond the gorgeous native-inspired gardens that embrace this home, you're only a short stroll or cycle to city/Norwood-bound buses running along nearby Kensy Road or The Parade, Kensington Gardens Reserve, your local Foodland, and Norwood International High or Pembroke. Equally, it's a breezy drive to Burnside Village with its all-new line-up of restaurants and boutique fashion stores.
