Palm Springs meets Hollywood Hills, mid-century dream home with pool.
Built in 1956 in one of Torrens Park's most sought-after streets, this architecturally designed classic is one of Adelaide's most stunning mid-century modernist homes.
Featuring Carey Gully stone walls, cantilevered martini balconies overlooking a sparkling swimming pool, walls of glass with treetop views to the sea and open plan living, all on a large 933 sqm (approx) allotment, the new owner of this home will be the envy of all their friends. This is as close as you'll get in Adelaide to the Frank Lloyd Wright house in Alfred Hitchcock's film, North by Northwest.
A magnificent home for entertaining guests, it has multiple entertaining areas and effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Single level at the front, the house expands to two-storey at the back, with 2 bedrooms and bathroom on the upper level and a self-contained studio with walk-in-robe and ensuite downstairs. This flexible design allows for multiple living arrangements, including offering Airbnb income from the studio.
The swimming pool evokes the glamorous California homes of the 1950s, with palm trees lining the pool and spectacular views from the deck (treetops and sunsets at one end and towering double-height Carey Gully stone wall at the other).
Designed with efficiency and grace, every little thing has been considered, with the house positioned on the perfect angle to maximise the sunshine coming through the bedrooms in winter to warm the rooms naturally, while protecting the living areas from the sun in the summer.
In the winter, the fireplace in the central Carey Gully stone wall heats the home beautifully, creating an extraordinary ambience for evening winter conversations over a G&T or Aperol Spritz.
The home can be enjoyed as is or can be extended (subject to necessary consents) to further expand its footprint and accommodate a growing family, while honouring the stunning original features.
The house is situated in an unrivalled location.
Only 7km from the CBD, it's a short walk to bus and train, with both offering a quick trip to the CBD. Scotch College is at the end of the street and Mercedes College, Mitcham Primary School, St Joseph's Primary School and Unley High School are all nearby. Mitcham Shopping Centre, cafes, cinema complex, public library, Edinburgh Hotel and Torrens Arms Hotel are all within walking distance. The home is also surrounded by beautiful walking trails, with Randell Park Reserve at the end of the street and Brownhill Creek, Mitcham Reserve and Carrick Hill all nearby, providing a peaceful, natural setting in which to enjoy this magnificent lifestyle home.
Further features include:
-Polished Oak floorboards
-Lofty ceilings
-Reverse cycle A/C split system
-Solar panels for hot water system
-Sail covered off-street parking
