Your search for that elusive Unley bluestone return verandah villa may be over. Proudly positioned opposite the green, open grounds of Unley Oval, this impeccably renovated and extended executive residence holds a prized Frederick Street address in one of Unley's most tightly held pockets. Here, morning laps and afternoon kick-to-kick are part of the scenery, with lawns, picnic spots, seating areas and a modern playground waiting just beyond your front gates.
Behind the classic Bluestone return-verandah façade, the home has been expertly re-created for the rhythm of contemporary family life while honouring its origins. The original rooms have been expertly upgraded to celebrate high ceilings, feature hallway arches, refined walls, baltic timber floors, decorative cornices and skirting boards, all supported by the reassurance of a full electrical re-fit and new plumbing. Set on a level, regular-shaped 743sqm (approx) allotment with a coveted north-facing rear aspect, the balance between heritage and modern feels effortless.
At the heart of the home is the impressive kitchen/meals/family room extension - bright and expansive but cosy as well, it is designed for busy weekdays and unhurried weekends alike. Breath-taking architectural windows make up the entire rear wall of the extension, spanning the full width and height from floor to the top of the raked ceiling, while cleverly designed sliding windows allow for air-flow and a sense of openness. From here, living flows outdoors to long Adelaide summers beside a sparkling, fully tiled concrete pool featuring a lap lane and a shallow water seating/paddling area perfect for little ones, plus an outdoor pavilion made for shade, conversation and late dinners. For those who love to host, a functional wine cellar with easy staircase access adds a quietly impressive layer of liveability.
What makes the property sing is the way every detail has been considered: door heights raised to 2.4m throughout with detailed architraves, solid doors and new hardware; new solid Wormy Chestnut timber flooring in the extension; plantation shutters; two fully ducted and zoned air conditioning units; high-level insulation; a 13kw solar array; EV charger; and a security system.
Accommodation is generous and flexible, offering up to five bedrooms, including a large master suite with impressive dressing room/robe, luxury ensuite with under-floor heating and discreet separate w/c. Entertaining is elevated again with a handy home office behind sliding glass doors, a bar space with sink, and a sliding glass service window to the alfresco.
The kitchen is a genuine showpiece, anchored by spectacular two-pack cabinetry and huge Corian bench-tops which become a centrepiece for gathering family and friends. It also features two pyrolytic Neff ovens, induction cooktop, powerful range-hood and a cleverly raised dishwasher for practicality. A spacious laundry/butler's pantry adds a second gas stove, rangehood, fridge space and second dishwasher, plus mud room space.
Outside, the 65 square metre undercover alfresco delivers feature timber ceilings, 20mm porcelain pavers and two weather-proof ceiling fans, while the pool is supported by an adjacent wc, solar heating and auto sensor temperature control. Moments to Unley Road and King William Road precincts, close to public transport, and zoned for Unley Primary and Glenunga International High.
