Perched above the city with uninterrupted views across Adelaide's skyline, this 1970s classic has been thoughtfully reworked for the way we live now - all while honouring the strength, geometry and material honesty of its architectural roots.
A sweeping renovation in 2020 has layered contemporary polish over a solid-brick foundation, retaining the timeless bones - exposed beams, expansive glazing and soft earthy textures - that make these homes so enduring.
The result is a meditative, light-filled split-level retreat with an unmistakable mid-century soul and sweeping, open-plan living zones that flow from north to south - sight lines stretching to the shimmering grid of Adelaide below.
At its heart, a bespoke kitchen with views that rival its menu of features. Crisp white cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances feel sculptural in a space that's as functional as it is refined.
Set a few steps below the lounge, the dining area rises to a vaulted 4m ceiling, its elevation matched only by the atmosphere. Sliders peel back to a decked pergola, encouraging alfresco moments that extend well beyond the expected.
Upstairs, three generous bedrooms embrace the original intent of the design: rest, privacy and connection to the outdoors. Both front-facing rooms open to a shared balcony - a quiet perch to watch the day arrive or drift away. The main bedroom includes a freshly updated ensuite dressed in clean modern finishes, completing a space that feels lifted from a boutique hotel.
Practical touches have been woven in with care: attic and under-stair storage, split and ducted air-conditioning, intercom and camera security, and a garage behind an automatic roller door.
Meanwhile, green space stretches out to the rear - not ornamental, but usable - a lawn that invites play, gardening or that long weekend lunch.
And of course, the location: etched its the exclusive Birksgate estate, steps from foothills trails, moments to Mitcham Square and Unley Road, and zoned for Highgate Primary and Unley High, with elite private schools a short drive away. This is a home with altitude, attitude and the kind of timelessness that only good bones and great design can offer.
