27-29 Fifeshire Avenue, St Georges, SA 5064

Are you ready to view arguably one of Adelaide's most unique Mid Century houses? A home such as this rarely comes onto the open market and the opportunity to purchase such a historic piece of architecture is not to be missed. To start, this quirky home had its own four-page spread published in June 1952 Australian Home Beautiful magazine and continues to be the breathtaking architectural masterpiece in 2020 all will admire. Claiming the title of one of the very first houses to be built on Fifeshire Avenue, this home has a colourful history as the 'local St Georges party house' and has recently been modernised to allow for future entertaining to a truly grand scale.

This Mid-century home was designed by Adelaide Architect Dr Andrew Benko in 1949 with an inspiring influence from American Great, Frank Lloyd Wright. The multi split-level home which follows the contour of the land underwent a luxurious transformation by Vivianne Vo from Metamorphosis Living Architecture in 2017 with the addition of two separate and spacious extensions.

Walking up to this home, you will immediately notice the attention to detail with the traditional 'crazy pave' entrance and expansive Red Cedar pivot door. The home has immense street appeal with fully landscaped grounds and an impressive 'Mid Century' facade. As you enter, you will be blown away by the modern design improvements whilst admiring the original retro nostalgia detailing throughout. Under the careful direction from Bec Ifould from Designed By B and Polli Woods, this impressive property has been transformed into a truly stunning entertaining platform for the modern-day family to enjoy, with unique design elements to celebrate the quirky retro style.
A few of the wow factors are most certainly the Western Red Cedar front and garage doors, gabion wall, original polished timber flooring and new polished concrete flooring, high raked ceilings with shadow line plywood detailing, exposed besser brick feature walls with internal garden and custom black aluminium louvre windows which compliment the living areas. Get ready to be impressed with this ultra-contemporary Traceless Matt Black and Sublime Teak Riven kitchen with Caesarstone bench tops featuring the latest appliances of Smeg, Fisher & Paykel and Asko plus an enormous hidden butlers pantry with second dishwasher and sink. The outdoors opens seamlessly onto the 90mm Merbau timber decking with views across the glamorous pool, outdoor kitchen and city-scape. We are certain the kids will fall in love with the fully tiled concrete saltwater heated pool with glass balustrading overlooking the full-sized tennis court. For that fitness or tennis enthusiast who is inspiring to be the next Ash Barty or Roger Federer, this would be the ideal court to master your skills. The property also boasts a stunningly landscaped tiered vegetable garden and tucked away in the Western corner of the block is another clever space to relax by a cozy outdoor fire or find your inner Zen to meditate. In the garage, the handyman of the house has its own domain which is sure to impress.

Moving back inside, chill out this winter with the family in the original lounge space with the warmth of a gas fireplace plus separate wood fire which sets the evening mood. The mezzanine level is yet another incredible feature, boasting panoramic city night views from the master bedroom balcony. The master accommodates for the King and Queen of the house with full walk-in robe and connects to a separate chill out room and luxurious bathroom.

The Eastern extension serves as the 'kid's wing' which has complete separation from the master and has been cleverly designed for today. Offering three large bedrooms and a rumpus room with pool and city views, it also boasts a huge main bathroom cleverly located within the original garage featuring a wall of glass overlooking a private courtyard. The stand out is the oversized reconstituted marble freestanding bath adding that extra special glam appeal. There are also two original spaces within the home which will create plenty of conversation including the office nook and basement style wine cellar providing ample room for collecting those classic wine labels such as Penfold's Grange, Henschke's and even a few dozen of Rockford Basket Press.

For the extended families needing accommodation for interstate/overseas family to stay or the Independent child that never wants to leave home, well 29 is now your favourite number. This self-contained cottage offers it's own lofted bedroom, kitchen, separate study and updated bathroom/laundry. Outside there is even room for a small veggie patch and space to park a small car. Currently tenanted to a lovely young couple on a periodic lease, this dwelling also offers the added investment bonus to help pay the mortgage.

Set on an unusual triangular allotment with approximately 1200 square metres of land and 68-metre frontage, this family home will be the envy of all your friends and family. Located on one of the popular Avenues of the prestigious suburb of St Georges and ticking every possible box on the Real Estate wish list, this 'one of a kind home' must not be missed.
