Set within the Old Township Area of Port Willunga, this private, architecturally designed residence is discreetly hidden behind a high fence and lush, established gardens. Full of character, colour and surprises, the beachside home offers a rare combination of architectural sophistication, relaxed coastal living, and privacy.
Architecturally renovated and extended in 2002, the residence has since been thoughtfully designed by Debra Little of DeeM Studio, creating a warm and embracing home that feels connected to its beautiful coastal setting.
The ground floor, with its original polished concrete, is remarkably adaptable, with interconnected spaces flowing around the central staircase to combine the living, dining and kitchen areas, creating a wonderful sense of movement and openness, ready to embrace changing family dynamics, the seasons, entertaining and everyday life.
The Provence-style meets mid-century eat-in kitchen beckons family and visitors to gather, with bespoke cabinetry surrounding a gas cooktop and electric oven. Traffic flows easily into the adjoining living room, where a French-imported freestanding fireplace brings warmth and atmosphere through the cooler months, creating an inviting retreat for relaxed winter evenings.
The second bathroom is tucked discreetly behind the staircase on the ground floor, perfectly positioned for returns from the beach or working in the garden.
Upstairs, dramatic vaulted ceilings and expansive northerly-facing windows create a sense of light and space. The home unfolds into a private sanctuary of bedrooms and additional living spaces. A long, wide balcony extends from the living area, immersed in leafy treetop views and providing a peaceful setting to relax, entertain and take in the surrounding landscape. The living room extends onto the balcony, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out.
The master bedroom features a walk-in-robe and opens directly to the balcony. Three additional bedrooms also offer built-in robes, serviced by a bathroom with a bathtub.
Ceiling fans throughout the living areas and bedrooms provide gentle airflow and year-round comfort, particularly through the warmer months. Storage has been integrated throughout the home, including built-in robes, linen cupboards, an under-stair storage room and a long shed attached to the studio.
The detached studio provides an additional and versatile space for creative pursuits, work or relaxation. Opening directly to the garden, it would make an ideal teenage retreat or private escape.
A double carport is attached to the home, providing cover for two vehicles.
Beyond the home lies a bountiful, established garden. Lush planting surrounds the residence, creating a cool, shaded and secluded garden haven that feels peaceful, private and wonderfully removed from the outside world. Despite its richness, the garden is remarkably low maintenance and largely self-sustaining, inviting you to simply enjoy its beauty and tranquillity.
From this quiet and secluded setting, the beach is just a short and easy stroll away, passing the Star of Greece Restaurant and Café along the way.
Port Willunga has soft white sand and crystal-clear waters, and offers an exceptional coastal playground for swimming, surfing, snorkelling, fishing, kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding. The beautiful bay is exciting to explore, with ancient fossils, reefs, shipwrecks and remnants of old jetties providing an ever-changing backdrop for coastal adventures.
A delightful walk leads to Aldinga Township, with its cafés, restaurants, boutiques and schools. The McLaren Vale wine region is nearby, offering cellar doors, food, music and art. There is more to enjoy in Willunga, including the Farmers' Market, Golf Course and the fabulous Russell's Pizza.
Only 45 kilometres from Adelaide, this unique home offers architectural character and charm, privacy and an exceptional beachside lifestyle, with plenty of space to gather and accommodate the whole crew.
