3 Cheltenham Street, Highgate SA 5063

If you judge this bungalow by its cover, you'll love it.

Delve deeper and you'll discover one of the most courageous extensions, and the very reason why love quickly turns to lust.

If you are one for a challenge, then just try and find an extension in the sought-after inner east that goes underground.

This one does. And the results are as beautifully shocking as they are so welcoming.

At first, all is what it seems...

Think high ceilings, spotted gum floors, pristine white walls, fireplaces, a wide hall and double bedrooms. Perfect!

The stone freestanding bath, under floor heating and circular stone vanity of the main bathroom turn the mood to modern.

A master bedroom - boasting a dressing room (not a walk-in robe) and a large ensuite - raises the pulse some more.

Then, suddenly, angled ceilings and a shockwave of natural light throw the status quo into disarray...

Behold an extension by the renowned Swanbury Penglase Architects.

At its heart is a custom kitchen with the biggest Caesarstone Island - the kind you can throw a party around.

The party might move to the alfresco pavilion. But the intrigue of that staircase pulls you below...

How courageous (and time consuming) it is to create a teenager's dream underground.

A teenager's dream or an AirBnB listing? Either way, it spans a whopping 125sqm and comes with two living areas, bar, huge bedroom, bathroom and cellar.

It comes with the realisation that this extension is not just courageous. It's inspired.
