Enviably positioned to enjoy one of Adelaide's finest garden suburbs steeped in history, tree-lined streets, rounded street corners, wide grassed verges and open spaces, this quality built reproduction character home celebrates period features with modern romantic feelings.

Inspired by the works of Charles Reade during the early 1900s, this elegant home has been meticulously designed in accordance with Colonel Light Gardens heritage guidelines from start to finish. Brimming with lifestyle appeal and immediate charm, the picture-perfect exterior begins with an Adelaide sandstone facade, reclaimed brick, heritage French-laid pattern slate and bluestone bullnose edging, complemented by a landscaped leafy green garden front and rear.

A thoughtful blend of elegance, sophistication and contemporary design reveals a timeless residence with luxury appointments. Soaring three-metre ceilings with cove cornicing, character skirting and architraves throughout, Tradco glass doorknobs, solid Australian Oak timber floors and soft furnishings, are some of the impeccable finishes that enhance the refined beauty of this stately home.

Welcomed by a grand hallway with direct line of sight to the open plan living area, the free-flowing floor plan reveals four generous bedrooms and a study serviced by two luxurious bathrooms plus a central powder room. Flawless in design, the home offers the option to utilize the fourth bedroom as an additional living area depending on your lifestyle needs.

Presenting aesthetic and functional appeal, the master suite features an expansive walk-in wardrobe fitted with floor to ceiling open joinery and bespoke storage. A vaulted ceiling creates dramatic room volume enhanced by a feature sky-window while floor to ceiling mirrors create an optical illusion and truly maximise the overall appearance of the space and light in the room. Complemented by an exquisite ensuite with Olde English tapware, heated towel rail, frameless shower screen, shower niche, silver-travertine (natural stone) floor tiles and crisp white floor to ceiling subway tiles. A well appointed main bathroom is beautifully finished to match the ensuite design and located off the main hall in the bedroom/children wing.

A spectacular statement of style and luxury, the open plan living, dining and kitchen area celebrates relaxed indoor-outdoor living and entertaining options.

Natural materials and shaker panelled cabinets meet pristine appliances creating a recipe for cooking in the large family-style kitchen. A chef's dream boasting a Technika 900mm freestanding gas cooker/oven, Technika dishwasher, Villeroy and Boch double bowl glaze Belfast Sink, is perfectly paired with Perrin & Rowe bench mounted tapware and spray rinse with porcelain levers. A large island bench with bullnose stone offers ample preparation space and also acts as a beautiful gathering spot for friends and family when you're entertaining. A butler's pantry with a second dishwasher, sink and endless storage add to the opulent space.

Beautiful inside and out, glass sliding doors welcome natural light into the living area and open onto an undercover alfresco complete with outdoor kitchen, Beef-Eater 6 burner BBQ with rangehood and fantastic storage.
