Just steps from Somerton Park's foreshore, this grand double-storey residence of solid brick construction delivers six bedrooms, four bathrooms and a lifestyle defined by light, scale and sophistication. With off-street parking for up to nine vehicles and proximity to Adelaide's best cafes, restaurants, schools and beaches, it's a home where luxury is lived, not just imagined.
Originally designed by John Vlachos Architect in 2013 and reimagined in 2025, the property blends timeless craftsmanship with contemporary refinement, offering versatile spaces that evolve with family life in one of Adelaide's most coveted coastal enclaves.
GROUND LEVEL
The journey begins in a wide, sunlit foyer, where polished timber floors reflect light beneath a Venetian glass chandelier. It's a striking first impression and one that sets the tone for what lies beyond.
To the front, a formal lounge anchored by a marble-framed fireplace offers a calm retreat, ideal for evening conversation or quiet reading. Continue through to a private formal dining room framed by brand-new glass doors, creating a refined yet intimate setting for hosting grand dinner parties.
At the heart of the home lies the open-plan living and kitchen zone—a space defined by custom joinery, new Velux skylights and a second marble fireplace that infuses warmth and grandeur. The gourmet kitchen caters to both everyday living and entertaining on scale, fitted with an ILVE Majestic six-burner cooktop, integrated Liebherr fridge and freezer, Miele dishwasher, and an additional Miele induction cooktop in the butler's pantry. Every detail here is designed for performance and beauty, from the marble finishes to the seamless integration of appliances.
A generous laundry continues the theme of refinement with built-in cabinetry and an expansive walk-in linen room, providing convenience without compromising style. Nearby, the ground-floor bathroom has been entirely refreshed and features marble vanity and premium sanitary ware.
UPPER LEVEL
A sculpted jarrah staircase rises to the second storey, introducing the private quarters of the home. The master suite is a true retreat, offering a walk-in robe, an indulgent ensuite lined with marble and underfloor heating, and a private balcony that captures the soft light of morning.
Across the central landing sits another beautifully appointed room featuring a marble fireplace and private balcony, flexible enough to serve as a bedroom, a sitting room, or a third lounge area. Each of the home's three balconies has been carefully oriented to capture either ocean or hills vistas, allowing the rhythm of sunrise and sunset to become part of daily life.
Further along, a dedicated home office provides a serene workspace with views to the chandelier below, combining functionality with aesthetic poise. The main family bathroom mirrors the home's standard of excellence, featuring a freestanding bath, separate shower and toilet, underfloor heating and new tiling throughout. Three additional bedrooms sit along the rear wing, each fitted with built-in cabinetry and ceiling fans, creating comfortable, practical sanctuaries for family or guests.
RETREAT STYLE LIVING & GROUNDS
Beyond the glass doors of the main living area, the alfresco pavilion opens to a spectacular resort-style oasis. A solar and gas heated concrete pool, adjoining spa and manicured gardens create a backdrop for both grand entertaining and quiet family afternoons.
The new outdoor kitchen and barbeque area is fully tiled and illuminated by Velux skylights, complete with a Beefeater barbeque, bar fridge and cooking exhaust. Whether it's a summer barbecue, a weekend brunch or cocktails by the pool, this space invites year-round enjoyment.
A separate pool house offers exceptional versatility with sleeping quarters, bathroom facilities and two additional rooms, one of which has been transformed into a dedicated gym featuring new carpet and solid timber doors. The configuration lends itself beautifully to guest accommodation, a teenage retreat, home office suite or studio.
Throughout the grounds, every outdoor surface has been renewed. An automated irrigation system services beautifully refurbished gardens, while new exposed aggregate paving, updated gate motors and a sleek Tower garage door complete the transformation. Every detail reflects quality, durability and design continuity with the home's interior.
A LIFESTYLE WITHOUT COMPROMISE
With three balconies, a pool house, multiple living areas and an expansive alfresco terrace, the residence is designed to move seamlessly between moments of gathering and solitude. From morning swims and alfresco breakfasts to sunset drinks that melt into twilight, the home adapts gracefully to the rhythm of family life.
