Outstanding landmark home, Streamline Moderne Art Deco mansion on 1,318 sqm (approx.)
Built in 1939 by architect Gordon Beaumont-Smith, this is undoubtably one of Adelaide's most beautifully preserved art deco architectural masterpieces. The home's facade is entirely constructed of brick and incorporates curved walls and windows. Through the double doors you enter a 10m long formal living room with a northerly sun-drenched aspect.

To the rear, a modern white kitchen continues the curved theme offering the cook a Gaggenau oven and cooktop, ample bench space with views over the pool and outside pavilion. At the touch of a button, this sleek modern kitchen surprises you with a Miele Coffee maker that rises from the under bench.

The ground floor also comprises the original cigar room with working extractor fan, now converted into a bookshelf-clad library, guest bedroom suite with built-in robes and ensuite, large laundry plus a luxury powder room off the main entrance for guests. The ample wine cellar is accessed from the hall.

Upstairs, the large landing guides you to the master bedroom with its own private north-facing terrace. Having retained the original ensuite bathroom, this piece of history is preserved beautifully with the curved wall and porthole window, earth-toned tiles, mint green pedestal vanity and large shower alcove with separate bath.

There are a total of five bedrooms upstairs, configured so you can vary their use as sitting or living areas.The original study overlooks the front garden, retaining original joinery. The rear rooms have a full-width balcony with spiral staircase to the pool and entertainment pavilion. The family bathroom has been fully renovated with white subway tiles and dark charcoal tones and includes a heated towel rail and plenty of storage.
