Surrounded by nature, this contemporary haven is designed for easy living. Its rich history is intriguing, but it's the modern, light-filled lifestyle surrounded by birdsong that is most appealing.If you're looking for a home with the wow-factor, this iconic home in the foothills is it.Uncover a unique slice of artistic endeavour. This industrial timepiece has been reworked into a light-filled, design-forward, three-bedroom home that shuns convention.Mid-century style softens its semi-industrial cues. Stainless steel meets powder whites, hovering beams, louvred ventilation, cork and tile floors, and solid blackbutt stair treads. A flexibly designed, robust home that will stand up to anything.Originally Tram Converter Station No.14 (c.1948), it was built to convert AC to DC power for Adelaide's historic tram network. Decommissioned in the 1950s, this solid concrete landmark has since evolved through multiple eras and in 2018, stepped boldly into a new groove that sharpened its edge without dulling its shine.A renovation that references the past with something bespoke at every turn.The ground floor unfolds from a central porch into a generous living zone, complemented by a private bedroom with separate entrance, verandah, built-in robes, and two-way ensuite an ideal landing for a studio, guests, or even rental potential.A substantial home office with adjoining laundry and toilet, completes the ground level.The home's dynamic heart lies above a fusion of kitchen, dining, open plan living, and generous balcony creates the ideal indoor/outdoor entertaining space. The upstairs master bedroom comes with built-in robes, ensuite and its own exclusive balcony.Outdoors, the contrasts are even more compelling. A fully tiled, solar-heated pool sits within resort-like gardens, while a wisteria-clad verandah, deck and balconies, wrap the home in lush serenity distinctly different from its industrial days.For the home's owners of 16 years, other elements that come with the territory include a friendly neighbourhood, proximity to Zucchero Pasticceria, Baretto Caf Bottega, the Rolling Pin Bakery & Patisserie, Magill Foodland, and abundant shopping and dining along Magill Road.Pivot east for a home that skips the rule books.You'll love:- Renovated Tram Converter Station No.14 (c.1948)- Solid concrete construction on a Torrens titled allotment- Stone and stainless-steel kitchen surfaces, installed 2018- Kitchen and fusebox rewired and replumbed, 2018- Sparkling pool (with newly replaced pump)- New concrete retaining walls and paving added 2022- Ducted R/C upstairs and split system comfort downstairs- 2.7m ceilings- Up to 3 bedrooms + 2 generous living spaces with bespoke joinery across 2 levels- Tranquil verandah, deck and balconies- Instant gas hot water with temperature control pad- Zoning for Magill School 1.7km | Morialta Secondary College 600mSpecifications:CT / 5958/297Council / CampbelltownZoning / GNBuilt / 1948Land / 351m2 (approx)Frontage / 10.24mCouncil Rates / $2159.90paEmergency Services Levy / $176.70paSA Water / $220.95pqEstimated rental assessment: $700 - $750 per week / Written rental assessment can be provided upon requestNearby Schools / Magill School, Stradbroke School, Thorndon Park P.S, Trinity Gardens School, Morialta Secondary College, Norwood International H.S, Charles Campbell CollegeDisclaimer: All information provided has been obtained from sources we believe to be accurate, however, we cannot guarantee the information is accurate and we accept no liability for any errors or omissions (including but not limited to a property's land size, floor plans and size, building age and condition).
