Parkside SA 5063

You are greeted with a row of fragrant Magnolia trees and a white picket fence, and once inside you will sense the enormous scope of what has been achieved.

The overwhelming ambience begins with the oak floorboards and impressive high ceilings, a feeling of space is immediately apparent. As you stroll down the lengthy passage you will be captivated by the 2 light-filled open atriums which create an internal division from the front and rear, a seamless transition from heritage to contemporary.

Exposed feature walls of convict bricks in both atriums portray a nostalgic element whilst accentuating the visual impact. Each brick is unique - they were painstakingly recovered from the original home during demolition which makes these walls an extra special element.

Beyond is an impressive kitchen and north facing living area which is just brilliant as it offers an array of wonderful open space for the whole family to enjoy - especially when entertaining and hosting fun dinner parties.

The kitchen is a creation by Sofiaa Interior Design and is superb with sleek contemporary lines, there is no mistaking the quality finishes and design. White-toned cabinetry with oak overhead cupboards and trim provide excellent storage, and Caesarstone bench tops and splashback complete the look and add luxury. Premium appliances will please any chef including two side by side Bosch ovens and 900mm 6 burner gas hotplate, Miele integrated dishwasher plus appliance cupboard. As an extension of the kitchen space there is a concealed preparation area with exposed shelving and more storage which is a very clever addition.

You will adore the living and dining space adjacentthe soaring vaulted ceiling and white wall-panelling is certainly inspirational and gives the whole space energy and an abundance of natural light. This space was architecturally designed to capture the northern light in winter, while in summer, the eaves provide sun protection, resulting in exceptional temperature control all year round. A pair of velux skylights in the roof, and high windows above the bifolds to the north are fully automated and allow for natural air flow.

A definite focal point is the stunning textured stone fireplace which on the inside features gas flame heating whilst on the outside you can enjoy the warmth and crackling sounds of firewood, what a fabulous combination. It is flanked by 2 sets of industrial style bi-fold doors which open wide onto the outdoor deck creating a perfect setting for extended entertaining, an interesting feature are the external twin flues which create a unique visual effect.

Another surprise is the mezzanine/study level which is accessed by an industrial steel ladder with unique timber treads - recycled from the formwork used for the concrete slab for the building. Hop up and be surprised by the space offered by this upper level which provides flexibility for its use whilst beautifully overlooking the areas below.

There are also 3 gorgeous bedrooms, 2 with period cornices and plantation shutters, and the master located on another mezzanine level. It is enhanced by a lofty ceiling with treetop outlook and personal dressing area which includes a walk-in robe and peaceful sitting area - a definite pleaser for the girls.

The bathrooms are hip and ooze modern style especially the main as it showcases an amazing oval shaped soaker-bath, suspended sleek vanity with Caesarstone fresh-concrete bench top, large mirrored cabinet plus w.c. Sliding door access to the atrium is a nice touch whilst the stylish hexagon patterned floor tile creates drama and a very cool vibe.

Not to forget the huge cellar/retreat, its a wine buffs dream with lots of space for all those prized bottles or alternatively it can be ideally used as a studio where you can explore your inner creativity.

The rear garden is a delight as the Sir Grange lawn is lush and thriving, you can't help but want to take your shoes off. The beautiful area is framed by the ornamental Manchurian pear trees and box hedges whilst sunshine and a view to the treetops via the northerly aspect adds to the overall appeal. Rear access to an automated carport is a valuable asset as it can also double up as a sheltered entertainer's pavilion. Located within Parkside Primary and Glenunga International school zone, all the hip eateries, minutes to the city and local shopping plus so much more, this incredible and inspirational home is for those buyers who choose to enjoy living life in a home of exceptional style.
