Last Listing description (November 2025)
A colonial icon and long-standing centrepiece of this sought-after seaside suburb. 3-5 Old Drive has found new life in the hands of The Building Company, proud owners of the HIA Professional Small Builder of the Year award. Their vision has transformed this distinguished residence into a property that the Adelaide market rarely - if ever, sees.
Crafted by The Building Company in collaboration with Georgie Shepherd Interior Design and Mavtect Designs, this exceptional home flawlessly blends old-world grandeur with a revitalised sense of modern sophistication, resulting in a truly remarkable masterpiece.
Reimagined to grant a contemporary take on formal living and dining, the lobby connects both between checkered marble tiles and statement chandelier, layered with leaf-like textures and hung from the original decorative ceiling dome an unforgettable entrance.
Never falling short on bespoke style, family scale and outdoor connectivity from each room, every avenue always leads back to the sweeping gardens through those impactful arched doors, filling the footprint with fresh air and fragrant star jasmine.
From the 3.5m ceilings, Arabescato Vagli marble-wrapped kitchen, Articolo sconces & Ralph Lauren pendant, the open plan epicentre instantly takes your breath away forming a functional yet incredibly decadent hub to bring everyone together because that's what this house is all about family and connection. A standout feature, the spacious 3.5-meter island, with its brass foot rail, beautifully complements the brass trim on the hood, tying the entire space together.
Forming a gateway between old and new, the wide hallway doubles as a gallery out to the gardens, connecting to a generational wing where Jack & Jill bedrooms share their own ensuite, and the main bathroom positions fluted glass windows to peer out to the pool from its Victoria Albert freestanding bath.
Reserving a special sanctuary just for the household heads, retreat to your own primary suite that embraces you with its grand proportions, 100% wool carpets, soft furnishings, walk-in dressing room, skylit ensuite and a curved outdoor alcove that lights up for the most magnificent nighttime shower experience.
Outside, entertain bare foot on the Millboard deck, swap the frying pan for the in-built BBQ or stoke up the Gozney pizza oven to share friends either way, every kid and adults inner-child will always migrate to shoot hoops on the basketball court and cool off with a splash in the pool.
A true colonial icon, transformed to see its best, and most sophisticated chapter yet.
