Instead of taking the option of subdividing this prestigious land holding in one of Adelaide’s most sought-after suburbs, this client chose to renovate the existing early 1900’s house and build an incredible extension to maintain the majestic manor house qualities and also provide today’s resort style living that they desired.
Set in beautifully landscaped grounds, the final result is stunning, and with the exquisite extension created to perfectly match the stone and construct of the original house, you would be excused from thinking that it was always this grand.
In its entirety, this house now offers so much – on the lower level, there is an impressive formal entrance hall, a formal stair hall with a concealed lift, a formal sitting and dining room, vast kitchen with formal eating, informal living area, main bedroom suite with large dressing room and en suite. The laundry, powder room and two additional bedroom suites with en suites and dressing rooms also feature on this lower level.
The upper level features two large bedroom suites with dressing areas and en suite bathrooms, a large study, library, children’s play area and home theatre all built within the roof space.
The six-car garage is laid out as two triples with a handy exit-assist vehicle turntable. One triple garage displays collectible cars through large feature windows and the second triple garage links to the main house with a glass roof walkway also leading to a stone wine cellar and billiard room. Above the garage sits a gym that is linked to the walkway and the upper wing with a decorative steel bridge and staircase.
The beautiful outdoor entertaining areas comprise of a main pool, children’s play pool, two reflective pools, spa with separate roof, large gazebo with external fireplace and kitchen. A tennis court completes the extensive recreation areas.
