BEST OFFERS CLOSE TUESDAY 1 DECEMBER AT 11AM (UNLESS SOLD PRIOR).
Just a short stroll from the idyllic Linear Park and Gilberton swing bridge, this captivating sandstone fronted villa with a north facing rear and pool is perfectly positioned on one of the most delightful streets in this tightly held city fringe suburb.
As a highly accomplished interior architect, the current owner has transformed the property, creating a detailed, modern sanctuary of unique style and warmth that layers colour and intricate design.
This peaceful side street parallel to the river, is much admired for the charming villas that grace it. As one of the historic houses built by early Gilberton developer Thomas Benjamin Ragless, the home was first owned by local identity Percy Jervis, who is memorialised at the Jervis Entrance Arch as the founder of the Gilberton Ametuer Swimming Club in the Torrens.
Behind a picturesque picket fence and baby bay hedge, and embraced by an established European garden, the sandstone façade and front veranda is interwoven by a magnificent wisteria.
Inside, a central hallway with high ceilings and polished boards stretches past a versatile floorplan that offers up to four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The primary bedroom features a conservatory style ensuite extension with natural light from all sides, automated skylights, Angelo Magiarotti designed basin, and Japanese tiled heated floors.
The main bathroom is worthy of mention, with a bespoke Persian red travertine vanity with crafted cabinetry, a custom-made Corian bath, brass and cedar detailing, heated floors and adjoining densely planted courtyard with tranquillity and natural light.
Open plan living is large, inviting and warmed by north facing sunshine and a combustion fireplace sourced from Copenhagen, limited edition designed in 1970 for Danish architect and designer Finn Juhl's residence.
The kitchen boasts brush box wood joinery with leather handles, and an island bench with a beautifully patinated brass table style countertop that is a stunning stand-alone piece of furniture in itself.
Bifold doors expand the indoors out to a dappled deck for alfresco dining by the pool, and sundrenched rear lawn, and lush oasis surrounding garden.
With its cool vibe and enviable position close to village style Walkerville Terrace shopping, Linear Park splendour and the city, this is one not to miss.
