3 Hughes Street Unley SA 5061

Offers Close Thu, 2nd Nov – 12pm (usp)

Displaying an eye-catching design, this spectacular 2010 built two-storey residence was thoughtfully created by renowned Architect, Warwick O’Brien. The home encompasses first class style with quality appointments, space-saving storage solutions, environmentally sustainable design features, and a perfect northern orientation with double-glazing throughout.

From the moment you arrive at No. 3 there is a feeling that you are about to enter a ‘private resort’, positioned in one of Unley’s most popular tree-lined streets, between fashionable Unley and King William Roads and a 10 minute walk into the City. Better than a penthouse, this Torrens Titled property has NO body corporate fees or strata rules to abide by – your own domain. It is versatile – a lockup and leave with room for visits from grandkids etc. or stylish inner-city living for a family with good access to schools/colleges.

Pedestrian entry is via a video-intercom controlled gate to the lush front courtyard, where tall decorative deciduous pear trees shade the house in summer and let light into the house in winter. The area has a jarrah-decked terrace and paths, with feature path and garden lighting and a security sensor light.

Step inside this magnificent home to be mesmerised by the height of the butterfly ceiling in the large, open plan living and dining areas which overlook the central pool and adjoin the beautiful ‘Jag’ kitchen. Under-floor heating warms the entire polished concrete flooring on the ground floor and the up-stairs bathroom. In the living area a remote-controlled ‘Heat Glo’ gas fire is recessed into a stunning stone feature, adjacent to extensive floating TV/entertainment/storage cabinetry with surround-sound Bose speakers. Commercial-grade tall windows (including electronically-controlled opening system for windows difficult to reach) in the living area and master bedroom. The lounge area has a sliding door to access the front terrace. Louvred windows, a feature of the ground floor, provide excellent cross ventilation for summer cooling. Motorised sunblock and separate block out blinds and air conditioning are additional climate control assets.

A guest powder room is central to the home, just off the living areas. Directly adjacent, a door opens to the fully-tiled, gas and solar heated, mineral lap pool with jetted spa, kept sparkling by a robotic pool cleaner.

Enjoy cooking up a storm and stylish entertaining in the ‘Jag’ kitchen, fitted out with a stunning extra-long granite island bench/4-person breakfast bar. A Miele appliance package includes a range of cooking options – a 900mm gas cooktop, 900mm wide electric under-bench oven, a steam oven, a combi grill/microwave oven, plate warmer, integrated dishwasher and a feature canopy rangehood, raised by the push of a button. A single sink (including Insinkerator & water filter) sits in the island bench, with a double sink recessed into the stainless steel benchtop of the 2nd work space. Extensive 2-pack cabinetry includes a feature wall of glass sliding doors opening to glass shelving – ideal for storing wine/champagne glasses. The built-in Vintec wine fridge is included, along with two Liebherr fridges and freezers.

Laundry facilities cleverly tucked behind 2-pack cupboards, include a trough and LG front – loader washing machine/dryer, dirty clothes storage etc.

The home has 3 double bedrooms, all with generous quality built-in robes. The main bedroom is thoughtfully positioned on the ground floor with a superbly appointed en-suite, views over the pool/patlo and access to the private decked courtyard at the rear.

There are choices of recreational areas. At both ends of the kitchen doors lead to outdoor timber decks – chill out with a drink or book! Sun protection is provided by a motorised sunshade above the larger pool patio. The spacious rear courtyard can also be accessed from the pool by a path on the eastern side of the home. This area has another motorised sunshade and a stunning outdoor kitchen complete with a Smeg stainless steel barbeque, wide granite benchtop, under-bench storage. An adjacent double garage with commercial-grade folding doors opens into the courtyard, giving additional covered space when the need arises to entertain on a larger scale.
