This much admired, bespoke built, four bedroomed French inspired masterpiece including authentic architectural features imported directly from France, will attract those searching for an extraordinary property.
It was built by a couple to emulate some of the private chateaux they had visited in France so they sourced original furnishings and fixtures including a stunning black antique marble fire surround in the formal living room, a Provincial fire surround in the living room and light fittings from France.
Locally sourced Mount Gambier flagstone was used for all the external walls and the home occupies a premiere Eastern suburb parcel of land within walking distance of some of Adelaide’s best schools with balconies from the sitting room and two other bedrooms that catch glimpses of magic sunsets.
Continuing the French theme and the refined sophistication of a provincial country home with its typically soft textural palette, the hall and open living room feature 16mm wide French oak parquetry.
The front garden was designed to replicate a formal parterre complete with hedges, standard roses and topiaries and the back garden includes a swimming pool which is gas and solar heated and salt water chlorinated.
On arrival, steps lead up to the elevated porch and front door which opens into a versatile single level floorplan.
The formal living room includes a French marble mantle surrounding a gas fire and French doors that open onto a delightful balcony which is shared with the second bedroom.
On the other side of the hall , the main bedroom opens onto a matching balcony with a decorative fountain. The bedroom also includes a walk in dressing room and en-suite bathroom.
The second bedroom has a set of French doors to a balcony and an en-suite bathroom that opens to the hall and doubles as a family or visitor bathroom.
The third bedroom is used as a study by the current owners.
Internal stairs lead down to a games room that could be converted to a fourth bedroom, teenagers retreat or guest room and the double garage. A dumb waiter takes shopping between the garage and the living level.
A masterbuilt kitchen, inspired by French provincial style, was designed by Jag with Caesarstone bench tops, three ovens, a pantry cupboard and extensive custom cabinetry.
The adjacent living room features an instant fireplace surrounded by another fire surround and five sets of double French solid and cast iron doors that provide a seamless transition to the entertainers’ backyard with a choice of secluded alfresco areas to soak up the sunshine including a poolside area, beautiful landscaped gardens and lush level lawn.
The fully tiled rectangular pool, surrounded by flagstones is the centrepiece of the garden. Solar and gas heating provide for extended swimming seasons and it is salt water chlorinated. A back gate and service area have valuable rear access to Crossing Street.
The residence is exceptionally well located within walking distance of Seymour College, Linden Park Primary and Glenunga International High School and within close proximity to CBD bus routes.
St Georges Is undoubtedly one of Adelaide’s premiere eastern suburbs close to excellent shopping including Glenunga 7-day shopping centre and Burnside Village.
