Set amongst the tree-lined streets and handsome character homes that make Clarence Gardens so tightly held, Leichwood pairs the romance of a bygone era and the freedom of its extended footprint to create something truly special on its summer-loving plot.
A door of a historic Adelaide pub marks the handover from a painstakingly preserved and perfected 1920s original section to the vast open-plan rear addition of a 4-bedroom home with vintage-style bathrooms, a modern take on the provincial kitchen, a study and an additional living zone framed in arched doors sourced from Egypt.
The result is a complete family package that considers every last detail and timeless quirk on its faultless, free-flowing journey to its louvred patio, pool and the garage of a car-collector's dreams. The Clarence Gardens you've always wanted.
Open the Door To:
⁃ A sympathetic, design-led reimagining that takes a painstakingly preserved 1920s bungalow and stretches it into a full-scale family home
⁃ A flexible floorplan of four bedrooms, a study and two living zones, giving the home the range to handle family life at every stage
⁃ Vast open-plan living that gives the home its centre of gravity and pulls daily life toward the rear garden
⁃ A modern take on the provincial kitchen, detailed with shaker joinery, antique brass pull handles, quality 2-pack cabinetry, 40mm stone benchtops, deep storage and a 90cm Belling retro style feature cooker
⁃ Vintage-style bathrooms with Carrara marble, stone topped vanities and traditional detailing
⁃ A vast main bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe addition and views over the front garden
⁃ Pergolux louvred pavilion and pool that turn the rear yard into a summer-ready extension of the interior
⁃ A four-car garage with power, water and hoist provisions, built for the collector, hobbyist or household that refuses to think small
⁃ Major behind-the-scenes upgrades, including new fencing, wiring, plumbing and roofing, taking care of the hard work already
⁃ Year-round comfort from ducted air conditioning, European-style oil wall heaters and a cast iron feature fireplace
⁃ Practical luxuries that finish the picture, including automated irrigation and whole-home water filtration
Close the Door On:
⁃ Renovations that feel skin deep. Leichwood has been recast with conviction, right down to the last inch, with no expense spared
⁃ Character homes that come with a to-do list as long as the driveway. The hard, expensive work has already been tackled, leaving the focus on living rather than fixing
⁃ Garaging that only solves the practical minimum. The setup here speaks to anyone with serious toys and serious hobbies
