St Anns.
There are homes that follow convention - and then there are homes like St Anns.
Rich in presence and unique beauty, this 1920s Tudor estate stands proudly on approximately 1,877sqm of prime Unley Park land. Privately nestled behind a canopy of greenery, the home's distinctive stone façade, steep-pitched gables, evoke the charm of a Scottish hunting lodge.
But this is no museum piece.
It's a deeply liveable residence, elegant and functional, that also awaits your imagination. Its current configuration is neat as a pin - a stately entrance hall, glorious lounge with carved fireplace, formal dining and entertaining spaces, and generously scaled bedrooms - yet what truly sets St Ann's apart is its underlying flexibility. Here lies a grand family estate that could just as easily become an artistic statement, a multi-generational home or a luxurious reinterpretation of old-world architecture through a modern lens.
At the rear, the tennis court tells its story - weathered from decades of service, and potentially up to 2,000,000 tennis shots, it now calls for renewal. But the sheer scale and setting remain unmatched: a full-size, rear-positioned N-S court framed by lush trees and perimeter planting. Reinvent it as a championship surface, a garden extension, or even a guest pavilion - the opportunity is here.
If you're looking for minimalist and sterile, this isn't for you.
But if you're drawn to homes with soul - with superior craftsmanship, proportion, style and patina - this could be your once-in-a-generation opportunity to create something remarkable.
Reinvention Potential: The 100sqm Rear Garage
Rarely does a property in Unley Park offer such an expansive, freestanding structure at the rear of the block - and even more rarely is it offered as a clean slate.
Measuring approximately 11.8m x 8.6m (over 100sqm) and set behind the main residence, this six-car garage/workshop is currently configured as a light-filled, open-air structure - perfect for car storage, creative studio use, or commercial-grade workspace.
But its real power lies in what it could become.
With direct access from the wide rear drive and excellent separation from the residence, this structure invites bold reinvention:
• Convert to a statement showroom for vintage cars, motorbikes, or art.
• Build upward to create a loft-style studio, gym, or guest quarters with treetop and tennis court views.
• Add internal stairs, a kitchenette, and ensuite to transform it into self-contained accommodation.
• Or, if preferred, remove and rebuild entirely - the scale and orientation of the land allow for a brand-new wing, pool house, or architecturally integrated pavilion (STCC), without compromising garden or tennis court space.
Whether you're a collector, a creative, or someone with architectural ambition, this rear structure represents one of the most valuable and versatile parts of the estate - an opportunity few homes in the area can offer.
