Restoring turn-of-the-century charm is one thing. Honoring an era to these lengths with a sympathetic, seamless rear addition on a newly landscaped corner block, is this villa’s greatest feat yet.

From the luminous whitewashed stucco, repointed faade and carefully restored 1900s leadlight-framed front door to every stripped, sanded, and reworked door, floorboard, skirting and architrave within, is a meticulous vintage-meets-modern revival unmatched.

Every painstaking detail puts the home’s family future into stunning perspective, raising the bar with a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom + powder room footprint micro minutes to Henley Beach Road retail and zoned Adelaide and Adelaide Botanic High Schools.

The master bedroom has plush new carpets, a floating bedhead wall concealing open storage and a dressing robe, signing off with a spacious ensuite and setting the home’s timeless continuity of VJ cladding, shaker-style joinery, stone benchtops befitting the kitchen, laundry, powder room, ensuite and family bathroom.

As identical back-to-back doubles, bedrooms two and three feature custom built-ins, elevated by clever open shelves framing each room’s decorative fireplace.

Period hallway pendants add a nod to the past as the hall arch, embossed with a plaster horseshoe, signifies the land’s former racecourse days – and if anywhere depicts the home’s path from old to new more distinctly, it’s at the weathered doorstep and brick threshold ahead of bedroom four, the sunlit double-glazed breezeway, and the polished concrete floors of the open plan living zone, kitchen, and all-weather alfresco.

Every day will be an occasion in the gourmet kitchen hosting a butler’s wing, Bosch induction cooktop, and a high spec duo of microwave and convection wall ovens, integrated dishwasher, while bi-folding windows feed the plumbed outdoor kitchen; you’ll also love the 20/20 sightlines across the living room and indoor/outdoor alfresco flow the stone prep island serves.

The streetscape of jacaranda trees is a visual bonus.

Your dual-garage-to-kitchen transit is secure, the backyard partitions a paved utility zone and ‘trough’ herb garden, and why divide front from back with a boring fence when you can put old timber joists to good use?

This incredible rewrite lets the past play a starring role.

With walking minutes between you and Love on Cafe, the city’s Park Lands, tram, and bus routes, and a 5-minute jaunt to Mile End Homemaker Centre or Hilton Woolworths, immerse yourself in a city mile entrenched in renovated character, and lifestyle beyond measure…
