PEACEFUL ARCHITECTURAL HAVEN WITH HISTORIC COACH HOUSE & POOL
Privately nestled on an exclusive street lined by character homes in one of Adelaide's most sought-after eastern enclaves, this captivating architecturally designed family beauty takes full advantage of its idyllic surrounds. The embodiment of effortless style, it offers a spacious, relaxed, and flexible indoor-outdoor lifestyle all within metres of the sweeping grounds of Pembroke School.
DESIGN
When the rare opportunity arose to purchase what were the rear grounds and former coach house of historic mansion Carlshurst, the current owners jumped at the chance to create a unique and stylish family home.
With an eye for design, their brief to build a home that celebrates the majestic Moreton Bay Fig and stables they inherited was beautifully designed by John Diekman Architects. The result, a peaceful haven wrapped in warmth and comfort, with interconnected interior and exterior spaces.
ENTRANCE
Virtually hidden from the street behind a high brush fence, the house emerges from a deep front garden of textured plantings and dappled light.
Beside a double carport, the entrance is a place of calm and peace, enhanced by the gentle tinkling of a sculptured water feature.
Inside, the entrance lobby and soaring void introduce a stunning combination of timber and light elements that define and enhance the home's aesthetic.
LIVING
A cocoon of comfort, the eclectic living room is the perfect place to cuddle up or entertain, with a wall of windows that overlook and open out to the rear garden.
Below stairs, a large cellar room is perfect for storing, displaying, and sharing the extensive wine collection with friends.
Gently elevated, open plan living will take your breath away. Bathed in northerly light from full height windows and doors, this vast space is a place to gather, entertain, relax, and enjoy with friends and family.
Tied together by a mix of design elements, this comfortable zoned space expands through to the outdoors and pool. Casual dining sits between informal living with a gas fire, and the kitchen with a mammoth stone bench, gas cooktop and stacked ovens.
Behind, a study nook could make the ideal walk-in pantry, whilst upstairs, a light filled landing also provides a quiet workspace with built-in cabinets.
BEDROOMS
Downstairs, the primary suite gazes over architectural plantings, with a window seat on which to perch, a his & her walk-in robe and an ensuite bathroom with heated towel rail.
Upstairs, three beautifully appointed north facing bedrooms share a family bathroom, and include built-in robes and ceiling fans.
COACH HOUSE
Dating from the 1880s, this very special structure that began life as stables has been transformed into a unique and enchanting poolside "home away from home".
From guest accommodation, entertaining hub, teenage retreat, self-contained studio, or place to chill, this extraordinary living space offers extreme versatility.
Downstairs, a slate entry introduces a living room with original hitching post, a second living/meals/games room with kitchenette and French doors that extend through to outdoor dining, plus a large laundry and bathroom.
Up a flight of timber stairs, the original hayloft has been converted into a spacious bedroom with skylights, built-ins and a romantic Juliet balcony.
GROUNDS & POOL
The home takes full advantage of its tranquil surrounds, with windows and doors connecting dappled plantings, meandering paths, and magnificent trees.
Providing the perfect link between open plan living, outdoor entertaining and the coach house, the saltwater pool is surrounded by decking and a terraced lawn on which to play.
