2 Barr-Smith Drive

Urrbrae SA 5064

Fast-forward, and the home has evolved with intent. Designed by Pauline Hurren, the extension draws in northern light and scale, meeting the cottage's old-world soul with soaring ceilings, clean lines, and a tactile palette that lets stone, timber, and tile speak in harmony - each era elevated, neither diminished.

The original footprint plays its part beautifully. A formal lounge, study, and guest bedroom carry their 19th-century charm with ornate ceilings, detailed cornices, and marble fireplaces anchoring each space.

Then comes the shift. A dramatic open-plan living pavilion stretches beneath cathedral ceilings, wrapped by wall-to-wall windows that pull in garden views. The adjoining kitchen combines custom joinery with high-end appliances - part entertainer, part everyday workhorse - while French doors unfold to a generous tree-shaded alfresco terrace, ensuring seamless flow for long lunches, garden parties, and weeknight wind-downs.

A central family zone with gas heater and sunken bar continues the flow, curving toward an atrium with spa and outlook over the heated pool - a resort-like escape in your own backyard.

Accommodation is cleverly separated, delivering space for every family dynamic. Six additional bedrooms span the floorplan: four off the main living hub, paired with a family bathroom, and two upstairs, including an oversized main suite with walk-in robe, underfloor-heated ensuite, and sweeping city views.

Practicality is seamlessly threaded throughout, with a concealed European laundry, guest powder room, wine cellar, loft storage, double carport, extensive off-street parking, and dual driveways. Solar panels add an energy-smart edge, while landscaped gardens wrap the home in privacy and greenery.

All of this sits quietly within one of the east's most enviable pockets. Frewville Foodland and Burnside Village are a quick run down the road, Glen Osmond Road's dining scene is your local strip, and Waite Conservation Reserve invites daily walks among nature. A plethora of Adelaide's finest public and private schooling is on hand, while the CBD lies just ten minutes away.

A home of history, style, and endless possibility - whether you restore, reinvent, or simply savour exactly as is, the third act of Gardiners Cottage is yours to write.
