If the world ever needed reminding why '60s modernist architecture is worth preserving and celebrating, it needn't look any further than this blonde-bricked beauty, with an inspired reimagining and prized elevated position where Bedford Park starts its serene foothills ascent.
The current owners paid deep respect to its 1960s hallmarks with a careful, full-scale renovation that opened up its main living zones, retained vast glazing and basked in its quality fixtures and finishes.
The sum of its parts is a light-drenched, energising home that pairs 21st-century comforts with a timeless aesthetic, sits suspended in the palm tops and implores you to entertain amongst a terraced rear garden setting with dual pavilions, outdoor kitchen, inch-perfect landscaping and a fire pit zone. Special is an understatement.
Open the door to:
⁃ A beautiful example of 1960s modernist architecture, sympathetically brought up to 21st-century standards
⁃ Subtly raked ceilings with exposed timber beams and pronounced eaves, reinforcing the home's '60s DNA
⁃ Expansive glazing that pulls treetop views deep into the living spaces
⁃ A streamlined kitchen with stone benchtops, ceramic cooktop, dishwasher, deep storage and breakfast bar
⁃ A terrace balcony with original steel balustrading
⁃ Vast glazing that frames a flourishing palm tree
⁃ A modern bathroom finished with terrazzo tiles surfaces, heated flooring and a freestanding bath
⁃ Oversized entry foyer
⁃ Custom joinery and storage throughout
⁃ Enduring double-brick construction
⁃ Ducted air conditioning for whole-of-home comfort
⁃ Solar panels and battery for reduced energy costs
⁃ An irrigation system to fully landscaped grounds with large lawned area, aggregate paving and dual covered entertaining zones, one with plumbed kitchen/BBQ
⁃ An oversized double undercroft garage with remote entry and generous storage space
⁃ 14kW Solar System with 10kW battery
Close the door on:
⁃ Dark interiors that rely on artificial light - expansive glazing pulls treetop views and natural light deep into the home from morning through to dusk
⁃ Outdoor spaces that are either token or exposed - dual pavilions, a terrace balcony and a landscaped rear garden deliver layered options for sun, shade and all-season entertaining
⁃ Lightweight builds that struggle with temperature and acoustics - solid double-brick construction provides natural insulation and a sense of permanence you can feel
This elevated Bedford Park setting strikes a rare balance. Nature leads with Sturt Gorge Conservation Park nearby; convenience follows with Flinders University and Medical Centre on call. Marion stands retail-therapy ready, the city commute has never been breezier, and a day at the beach is yours on a 10-minute whim. Welcome.
