A flawless interplay of old-world origins and cutting-edge modern design, 48 Alexandra Avenue masterfully balances past and present to craft a home completely worthy of its prestige address.
What started as a character-laden C1926 Edwardian-style bungalow now boasts a mid-century inspired 2016 extension by Grieve Gillet Architects, two halves creating a whole that's far, far more than the sum of its parts.
Canopied by domed chandelier and skylight, a central hallway stretches across the original footprint, uniting three double bedrooms and deluxe family bathroom ready for rush hour.
Introducing the 21st century with zero hesitation, herringbone marble tiling, rich timber, metallics, and a bold retro palette are layered across a free-flowing living wing. Polished concrete floors line concealed laundry, sunken lounge, light well staircase, and open plan kitchen/dining to the east, while floor-to-ceiling windows blend with courtyard garden to the west, transporting abundant light over every inch of the sleek space.
A full suite of high-end appliances defines an intuitive kitchen sure to elevate even the simplest recipe to new heights of culinary glory, stacker doors seamlessly connecting to a vast Blackbutt timber deck that instantly secures its place as your alfresco entertaining epicentre, retractable awning on hand for custom shade coverage.
Upstairs, a dedicated study to landing permanently solves the dilemma of where to set up shop on work-from-home days, while a main bedroom suite rewrites the wish list entirely. Bookended by striking ensuite with Carrera marble vanity, dual shower with skylight, and luxe gold hardware, and stepping out to a sun-soaked rooftop deck, it's an enviable retreat that delivers resort living without the jet lag.
Nestled privately away from the bustle while still only moments from all the action, it's only a few steps to your morning coffee at Abundance, Willmotts, or Commissary, or Victoria Park for downtime spent exploring the walking tracks and wetlands or setting a new PB at parkrun. Frewville Foodland, Burnside Village, and Norwood Parade are conveniently within reach for specialty shopping, with proximity to Rose Park Primary School, Marryatville High School, St Peter's College, Prince Alfred College, and a plethora of additional private schools ensuring a simple school run.
There's nothing to do but move in and marvel.
