Property Overview

A featured home amongst South Australia's mid-century finest in the highly acclaimed Modernist Adelaide: 100 Buildings 1940s–1970s book and Sunday Mail's Home & Life magazine. Not to mention having the honour of hosting Tim Ross's legendary Man About the House concerts, a showcase only performed in architecturally significant modernist houses around the world. This original 'Glenbrook' project home designed by John Campbell re-enters the market for only the second time in 55 years in meticulously-maintained original condition that is not to be missed!

With mid-century warmth and character rarely seen in our modern-day market, find delight in the immaculate detailing such as the vertical timber louvre entrance screen, original Philips ceiling lights, split-rock fireplace and polished Tasmania Oak floorboards.

As you arrive, you will feel a sense of privacy and security amongst your surrounds with the recently installed auto-powered Blackbutt hardwood front fencing and gates, a statement piece adding a little extra something to your street appeal.

The front façade encompasses a true representation of the circa 60s aesthetic, boasting a low-pitched roof and accentuated asymmetrical profile. The expansive walls of glass, clean structural lines and fantastic pop of colour in the feature front door are amongst our favourite aspects upon entering.

The three-bedroom home has a flexible floorplan orientated perfectly to bathe in natural light with its north-facing outlook. The open plan living and dining is set front and centre. A light and bright space, enjoy the textured original wallpaper and floating ceilings above your semi-segregated dining nook to be relished by you and your guests.

All three bedrooms have ample storage, with additional linen cupboards adjacent to the bathroom and separate toilet. The kitchen and casual meals space features an original Adelaide-made 4-burner Metters gas cooktop and oven, still in excellent operation, and enough storage space to satisfy every kind of cooking or catering enthusiast.

Through sliding doors, you will arrive in your very own sanctuary of peace and tranquillity. A sprawling rear yard with undercover patio area extended off the main home, large shed and a separate and lockable secondary space, perfect for a veggie garden or chicken run.
