c.1905 twin gabled villa with a very special transformation and one surprise after another

Expressions of Interest Close Tue, 2nd Nov - 1pm It starts with a picture-perfect twin gabled façade facing leafy Hughes Street. It ends with a solar heated pool and exclusive rear access to the Linear Park pathway. But it's what's in-between that makes this architecturally reforged family home something truly special on a boundless parcel that breaks the magic 1,000sqm barrier. Some call it a gallery, others a catwalk. Either way, the clearly defined transition between the impeccably presented c.1905 villa and the 2015-completed extension is the first of many architectural masterstrokes in this solar-powered entertainer headlined by its flexible five bedroom floorplan, state-of the-art security and luxurious master quarters. The moment the afternoon sun settles in the central courtyard and floods through the north-facing windows of the open-plan addition is the moment it all comes together, shedding light on the conversation-starting kitchen and a family room that flows with effortless ease to an alfresco pavilion with its own kitchen and a pool view. Call your friends, start the Smeg BBQ, set the pool to your desired temperature, send some Nina Simone through the integrated Bose speakers, and grab your finest drops from your underground cellar. It's time to celebrate one very special home on the leafy brink of the city and cosmopolitan Unley and King William Roads. - Head-turning sandstone façade with rare twin gables - Flexible floorplan with five bedrooms or four and a second living zone - 900mm Smeg appliances, dishwasher, breakfast bar and loads of storage to kitchen - Zoned Bose sound system throughout living area, courtyard and entertainment area - Huge master suite with peace and privacy at the rear of the home and a sleek en-suite boasting double walk-in shower - High-tech security system with perimeter/window breakage alarms - Video intercom and electronic gated entry - Zoned ducted reverse cycle heating and cooling, plus gas log feature fireplace - Extensive underpinning to original home with polished floorboards, ornate fireplaces, plantation shutters and soaring ceilings - Electric internal blinds - Study zone with sliding barn door - Storage galore, including large attic space - Large repointed underground cellar with room for more than 300 bottles - Solar heating to fully-tiled in-ground pool - Beautifully presented landscaped gardens with automatic watering and lighting system - Bill-busting (2x3.5kW) solar system - Double garage with remote Panelift entry - Private rear access to Linear Park, connecting you to the city and metro coast via a safe bike path - Walking distance from public transport and the acclaimed restaurants of Hyde Park - Zoned for Glenunga International High School CT Reference - 5107/832 Council - City of Unley Council Rates - $4,766.90pa approx.
