A resplendent C1910 corner villa, recast for the discerning 21st-century family

Auction Sat, 14th Dec - 3pm (usp) The kind of character that only a century can create, the freedom of a 892 sqm corner parcel, the sunny energy of a south-north aspect, an award-nominated pool, and a modern extension to tie it all together. The sum of 40 Hughes Street is a 'forever' home worthy of its prestigious city-fringe locale; locked and loaded for a growing family in search of at least four bedrooms, home office, extensive garaging, multiple living zones and every excuse to spend the entire summer outdoors. The decorative arches and intricately handcrafted etchings on the soaring ceilings of the original C1910 sandstone villa will have you wanting more of this solar-powered home that was so sympathetically extended that it's hard to know where 'old' ends and 'new' begins. The 'new' also includes a slight rejig of the original floorplan, carving out a lavishly large, under-floor heated ensuite for the street-facing main bedroom, just steps from the grand formal lounge room. The architectural rear addition features enviable roaming room, the classiest open-plan kitchen with stone benchtops and butler's pantry, a hidden cellar under Mountain Ash floors, and stackable walls of glass that open to blur the lines to the outside world. And what a world it is; pairing a jarrah-decked pavilion with cricket-ready lawns, cubby, sandpit, side-road access, that dream 4-car garage and a heated mineral pool with moody tones, provocative curves and glass fencing. Just a stroll from the south Parklands and city beyond, Unley and King William Road's cosmopolitan treasures and tram stops that will catapult you to Glenelg in a jiffy, the sum of 40 Hughes Street is a lifestyle that simply can't be beaten.
