SOLD BY ZAC WATTS & NADIA COVINO.
If you recognise the acclaimed name Studio Gram, you'll instantly understand why 169 Wattle Street is not just another renovation. Architecturally reimagined by the same powerhouses behind many of Adelaide's most admired hospitality spaces and residence rebrands, that same unmistakable magic has been channelled into this remarkable Malvern villa.
Paying homage to its turn-of-the-century origins behind a charming facade, this restoration pays tribute to the original villa. From the moment you step inside, there's a feeling of warmth and permanence.
Restored character elements spread throughout its grand proportions - including detailed plasterwork, original fireplaces, LED light windows and herringbone timber floors smoothly merge with modern updates - from lighting and layout to brand-new wiring and plumbing. The result is a timeless production, beautifully revived for contemporary family life and ready for the future.
To the front, the primary suite assumes a quiet lead role, complete with a walk-in dressing room and private ensuite. A separate wing hosts a trio of spacious bedrooms – or two plus a formal lounge - along with a family bathroom featuring a freestanding tub, and the perfect home office for executive work, homework and attic storage above.
Centre stage, the living space, is where everyday life and entertaining collide. The real architectural showmanship takes shape between polished concrete and 4.2m ceilings in a space that celebrates luxury, light and entertaining at scale.
At its heart, a Farquhar kitchen drenched in stone, shaker cabinetry, and Bosch appliances, steps confidently into the spotlight where morning light spills over shared breakfasts, casual conversations, and the simple rhythm of starting the day together.
The dramatic dining zone flows seamlessly to the 400-bottle climate-controlled wine room and dry bar, complementing the custom joinery and generous storage found throughout - far exceeding what you'd expect in a typical villa.
Concealed behind unsuspecting doors, a fully equipped butler's pantry with a second oven and dishwasher was built for chaos-free dinner parties and catered events - with direct access to a discreet service yard allowing your help to slip out undetected after dessert.
Slide open the full-height glass stacker doors and step into a seamless indoor-outdoor space designed for relaxed entertaining. Featuring a 15-metre heated mineral lap pool, two-way fireplace, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with Beefeater BBQ - a setting, subtly staged to suit the rhythm of family life.
Perfectly positioned for families, this sought-after postcode offers easy access to top schools, vibrant local cafés, and the best of Adelaide's Eastern suburbs living. Just 3 kms from the CBD, it combines convenience with a thriving brunch culture, providing proximity to the very best the area has to offer.
It doesn't just look the part, it lives it. Meticulously crafted, deeply considered, and ready for its next act.
