Timeless Villa Charm with a Sophisticated Modern Extension in Blue-Chip Unley
Perfectly positioned on one of Unley’s most charming streets, this home presents a rare opportunity to secure a beautifully preserved c.1900 freestone villa, thoughtfully extended to deliver a seamless blend of character elegance and contemporary living.
Set on a deceptively deep allotment, the home immediately captivates with its sandstone façade, tessellated tile verandah, and intricate leadlight detailing — framed by exquisitely maintained gardens that create a striking first impression and set the tone for what lies beyond.
Inside, soaring ceilings, polished timber floors, and an abundance of natural light create a refined yet welcoming atmosphere, guiding you through the original portion of the home where two generous bedrooms and a beautifully updated bathroom are privately positioned.
At the heart of the residence, a striking open-plan extension redefines modern living and entertaining.
Anchored by a designer kitchen featuring stone benchtops, integrated refrigeration, and exceptional storage, this space connects effortlessly to the expansive living and dining zone.
Wide stackable glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, opening to a paved alfresco entertaining area and pavilion, surrounded by beautifully landscaped rear gardens — an idyllic setting for long lunches, evening gatherings, and effortless year-round entertaining.
Adding further flexibility, the original central living room, currently used as a dining space, offers the option to create a third bedroom, additional lounge, or home office, adapting easily to suit changing lifestyle needs.
A true standout for this coveted inner-urban pocket, the property also offers secure side access to a lock-up carport accommodating two vehicles — a rare and highly sought-after feature in this location.
With both King William Road and Unley Road just moments away, you’ll find yourself immersed in Adelaide’s most vibrant café, dining, and boutique shopping precincts, all within easy walking distance of the CBD.
