Designed by its original owner, this architecturally distinctive home has a story as individual as the property itself.
The original owner practised as an architect in Canada and Hong Kong, where he also lectured in architecture and acoustics at the University of Hong Kong. He and his wife met in Hong Kong, where they spent more than 20 years before retiring to Adelaide and eventually making Hindmarsh Island their home in 2001. His wife, a lifelong traveller, worked for Lufthansa before establishing her own travel agency in Hong Kong. Their shared love of travel continued throughout their lives.
The home reflects its architectural origins and offers something a little different from the conventional. With its distinctive design, interesting spaces and individual character, it will appeal to those who appreciate homes with a story, enjoy creative design and see the opportunity to add their own style and interpretation.
Positioned at the end of a private court, the home occupies a generous 1,140m² (approx.) wedge-shaped allotment, opening out to approximately 30 metres of waterfront. Established, level grounds extend to the water's edge, where a private jetty provides direct access to the waterways of the Lower Murray.
From the upstairs living room, floor-to-ceiling glass frames a sweeping outlook through the Coorong Quays entrance and beyond. Balconies at either end of the home provide different vantage points, including a wonderful position to enjoy the evening sunsets across the water. The enclosed upstairs entertaining area also features hot and cold water connections, offering added versatility and the potential for a range of uses.
The upper level incorporates the kitchen, meals and living area, with custom joinery, together with a separate study and powder room.
A striking floating staircase connects the two levels, leading to a second living area overlooking the water. The spacious main bedroom includes extensive robes and an ensuite with twin basins and a semi-freestanding bath. The second bedroom also enjoys water views and includes built-in robes.
A combined bathroom and laundry complete the lower level, along with a powered and plumbed double garage featuring taps and sinks, making it an ideal space for a workshop or additional storage. Reverse-cycle split-system air conditioning and ceiling fans provide added comfort.
With its architectural history, individual design, generous waterfrontage and private jetty, this is an opportunity to secure a home that is anything but ordinary. A property for those who appreciate the unusual, embrace individuality and can see the potential to bring their own creative touch to a truly distinctive waterfront setting.
