An impeccable, architecturally-designed home in a tightly held Adelaide suburb combining the best of low maintenance living and luxe fittings has been described as a “joy” to show by its listing agent.

The circa 1900s sandstone residence at 34 Austral Terrace, Malvern in inner-southern Adelaide, features 286sqm of living space across a flexible floor plan featuring four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Sales agent Kris Casey from Harris Real Estate Kent Town said it was a coveted dream to own a stone fronted villa with the added bonus of being set within one of Malvern’s best streets.

“It has a north facing rear, which is also the dream and no through roads – it’s in the blocked off end of that street,” Ms Casey said.
“So it ticks so many boxes in all those respects and it’s been architecturally fitted out.”

“It was pretty nice when they (the vendors) bought it, but they made their own stamp on it and changed things around and one of the things that they have absolutely loved about this property is the fact that they use every inch of the property.”

Designed by Michelle Attard of Michelle Attard Design Studio, the home’s long list of impressive features includes automated lighting and blind control, a built in gas fireplace, European oak parquetry floors, marble tiling in the bathrooms, as well as ducted heating and cooling.

The timber and dark hued kitchen – which was renovated by the vendors – features a breakfast bar, a butler’s pantry, Smeg appliances and dual dishwashers and a built in fridge.

“The whole living space out the back is the gem,” Ms Casey said.
“It is so well integrated – the inside outside, looking at the pool, having functions – it’s got a dream kitchen.”

“It’s such a versatile space, and I think probably the thing about the family that own it is that they do have a good entertaining schedule,” Ms Casey said.
“It’s just a great place for gathering and spending time with family, and it has such beautiful light that comes in that.”

The immaculate garden was designed by Nathan Burkett Landscape Architecture and includes a striking concrete bench seating, a cantilevered arbour and manicured garden beds.
“It’s a small space in the garden, but it’s really impactful because it’s very private and it’s very green, which you see from really all of that space in the back (of the house),” Ms Casey said.

The house has sparked strong buyer interest as a home of such calibre was a rare opportunity, she said.
“I think that the high end, high quality of the fit-out kind of speaks for itself, but it’s been beautifully done,” she said.
The home is being sold via a best offers campaign from mid $3.5 million to the $3.8 million range, Ms Casey said, by Tuesday, March 4.
