1850s charm restored and extended thanks to an architecturally designed, custom rear addition with a 4.2m ceiling peak, 2.7m high right-angles of glass, and summer's big-ticket item atop the external spiral stairs
With beer garden vibes, a rooftop terrace salutes the setting sun and stunning neon skies with helicopter views over Bowden's vintage radius.
Safe to say, the overhaul was extensive. New fencing, landscaping, bullnose verandah, roofing, gutters, window grilles, decorative slate-tiled porch, plus a rare sight in this quaint character pocket side-by-side dual garaging.
The rear composition of solid blackbutt, recycled brick and Nailstrip cladding is a striking contrast to the home's original stone façade so too its living, dining, office, custom kitchen, laundry, and master suite
That's not to downplay the humble opening lounge with timber floors, restored open fire, mantel, and custom joinery. Next door, a moody 2nd bedroom with new ceiling fan, and a chic gallery/meals area under a Velux skylight glow.
Work away in a galley-style office with exposed raw brickwork softened by sleek joinery, new carpet, lighting, and ending with a parade of wall-to-wall storage for linen, appliances, even office files.
What began as a bedroom now triumphs as a master bath, with custom solid timber messmate vanity, Caesarstone benchtops, a 1.7m bath, and Herringbone tiled floors.
Then modern magic happens.
The striking monochrome kitchen's 3.7m long Smartstone island with Schock black granite dual sinks fronts 2 Bosch pyrolytic ovens and a gas 5-burner cast iron cooktop, before signing off with a blackbutt feature wall hiding a pantry, appliance nook, and a master suite pass.
Through the blackbutt feature wall the master suite awaits. With floor to ceiling linen sheer curtains, the bedroom looks out to the established garden. The generous walk-in-robe leads to the private ensuite with solid timber messmate vanity and marble basin.
Above and beyond it is, with on-foot passage to Hawker Street and Seven Grounds Café, plus a North Adelaide, Croydon, and Plant4 tease in a pivot. Don't miss it.
