6 Tester Drive, Blackwood SA 5051

In 1908, it was born to become Dr. Tester's grand home. Today, it shines as a beacon of Blackwood and a character home rarely seen in these parts.

When Dr. Tester (the namesake of the street) chose his land, it was no surprise that he settled for this flat, but elevated, corner block on some 1590 square metres.

Only a sandstone-smothered home with a return verandah could do this prime position justice. He obliged.

But - thanks to the current owners - a solar heated pool and the most epic of sympathetic extensions take this 3/4-bedroom home beyond what Dr. Tester could have ever imagined.

Pine floors, leadlight, 3.3-metre-high ceilings and original fireplaces sing as they always have and always will in a timeless original home.

A house this big was always going to offer three big bedrooms (and a study/4th) and a formal lounge.

But only a keen eye and a willingness to spare no expense could have added an extension and headlining JAG kitchen like this.

Framed in the tallest glass-clad, bi-fold doors and ceilings that match the height of the original home, this gargantuan extension is a game-changer.

Granite benchtops, timber cabinetry, classic tapware and a country-style sink look so good next to the Gaggenau cooktop and Miele appliances of a kitchen that even a professional chef would savour.

Open wide those bi-fold doors to add an alfresco pavilion to the pool party.

And thanks to the skilled hands of a stonemason, guests would be forgiven for not knowing where the original home ended and that extension began. Dr. Tester would be proud. Welcome home!
