Classic in proportion yet contemporary in function, this Alan Sheppardbuilt residence demonstrates the enduring power of architectural discipline, executed with a high level of detail and care. Set within the tree-lined streetscape of its distinguished Toorak Gardens address, the home feels entirely at ease within its commanding corner allotment.
The façade is both refined and restrained, its pillared boundary softened by manicured hedges and climbing greenery that lend texture and depth to the streetscape. A wraparound verandah anchors the home in its setting, offering shade, shelter, and privacy.
Across three levels, the home is designed for modern living. Downsizers, multi-generational families, or those moving from smaller homes will value the ability to separate, entertain, or retreat to private areas, while still enjoying a central hub for gathering.
The primary bedroom suite is a true sanctuary. It opens directly onto the verandah through French doors, while its ensuite - featuring a bay window, spa bath, and double vanity- exemplifies a timeless pursuit of luxury. Additional bedrooms, each spacious and detailed, are thoughtfully positioned in separate wings, with two upstairs, ensuring both privacy and connection. Two high-end family bathrooms serve the additional bedrooms.
The finishes throughout are purposeful and enduring. Solid timber floors, intricate cornicing, stone and granite surfaces, and bespoke cabinetry signal the level of craftsmanship expected from a home in Adelaide's eastern suburbs.
The kitchen, anchored by a large granite island, flows effortlessly into the relaxed living and dining areas, where natural light from the north illuminates the space and guides the eye to the landscaped courtyard and outdoor pavilion beyond. Here, the architecture merges with the garden, creating a sequence of indooroutdoor areas that harmonise Adelaide's climate and lifestyle.
A grand reception hall and formal rooms are designed not merely for scale but for atmosphere. A secondary retreat, adjoining the formal living room - conceived as a music area, reading space, or parents' retreat - expands the flexibility of the floor plan while reinforcing the home's architectural generosity.
A basement cellar offers 15 sqm of adaptable space - ideal for wine storage and additional storage. The three-car garage includes built-in cabinetry, a tiled floor, and direct access to the rear garden.
