Last Listing description (April 2023)

One of the most impressive transformations of a character villa we've seen, the finished article was worth every cent and second spent extending its rear and reinvigorating its original section down to the finest detail - from the underground cellar to its roof, from its double fronted facade to its rear alfresco pavilion.

The result is a sandstone-fronted home with memorable street presence overlooking the Unley Swimming Pool, rare room to move across its flexible and light-filled interior, and the smoothest transition from original to new.

So smooth, in fact, that its current owners went to the trouble of sourcing salvaged baltic pine boards, matching the boundless open-plan extension to an original home punctuated by its 3.3m pressed metal ceilings, ornate fireplaces and a sweeping arched hallway.

The C1880 floorplan was slightly rejigged to give the street-facing master bedroom its own walk-in robe and ensuite - one of many masterstrokes in the evolution of this solar powered home.

With a sea of Ceasarstone atop its island, Smeg appliances, travertine tile splashbacks and a timeless aesthetic, the two-pack open-plan kitchen makes an enviable statement in form and function.

When one kitchen isn't enough, the outdoor version - with custom concrete benching and a built-in Beefeater BBQ - obliges in an ultra-modern pavilion with heating, fans and a combustion fireplace.

Shaded by an old walnut tree, the timber-decked patio adds yet another layer to the way you relax and entertain in a home that stands just a 5-minute drive or Sunday stroll from the CBD, making Forestville the hidden, character-laden gem of the city's fringes. Forever starts now.
