C1910 villa bliss on a big, beautiful corner

Auction Sat, 7th Sep - 10am (usp) Ideally placed where Denning and Devonshire Streets carve out a 1005sqm corner plot of utter suburban freedom, this C1910 return verandah villa lives up to its prestigious address with the added pride of an inspired transformation, 21 years in the making. That's how long the current owners have called 'Home sweet home' this solar powered, stone-smothered 4-bedroom residence with a bevy of palatial living zones, a licence to entertain under an electric-louvred pavilion, off-street parking for a fleet and a curious backstory. That it was once a nursing home speaks to its sheer scale, functionality and enduring quality, cleverly reconfigured by its custodians to allocate each bedroom (one ensuited) to their own wing and draw everyone to an open-plan living zone that blurs the lines between indoors and out. Featuring 3.6m-high ceilings, Blackbutt timber floors and an ultra-modern gourmet kitchen that connects to the western pool-ready gardens via an ingenious servery window/bar, the family room embodies the crowd-pleasing ways of this beautifully restored home. Tucked peacefully away on the leafy cusp of Unley Park, a stroll from Pantry on Egmont, and a short drive from Mitcham Square, cosmopolitan Hyde Park and some of Adelaide's most esteemed colleges and public schools, this rare home is steeped in convenience and makes light work of the city commute. It's your time to shine.
