Architectural Excellence Meets Effortless Living
An architectural masterpiece where the charm of an 1800s astable has been brilliantly reimagined into a striking contemporary residence by renowned architect David Ey.
Thoughtfully designed and meticulously built in the 1990s, this award-worthy home has been cherished by its original owners ever since. Beautifully maintained and immaculately presented, it offers a sophisticated lifestyle of low-maintenance living and effortless entertaining in one of Adelaide’s most desirable eastern suburbs.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel transported to your own private sanctuary. Cross a picturesque bridge over a gentle watercourse, stroll through tranquil Japanese-inspired gardens, and discover a home that is as peaceful as it is unforgettable.
At its heart lies a spectacular central courtyard, where rock pools, lush landscaping and even a resident turtle create a truly unique focal point. Cleverly designed around this serene atrium, the home’s main living spaces—including the entrance hall, formal living room, kitchen and family room—are all connected to this calming outlook, filling the interiors with natural light and a wonderful sense of space.
Rich in warmth and timeless style, the home showcases beautiful Tasmanian oak flooring, western red cedar window frames and a neutral palette that perfectly complements its architectural design.
The impressive living room is a standout, featuring soaring arched ceilings that create a dramatic sense of scale while maintaining an intimate connection to the tranquil courtyard beyond.
Designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining, the spacious open-plan kitchen and family room form the heart of the home. Generous proportions, quality appointments and seamless indoor-outdoor flow make it equally suited to relaxed evenings or hosting family and friends.
The ground floor also offers two bedrooms, a beautifully appointed family bathroom, and a well-equipped laundry complete with a built-in Robinhood ironing board.
Upstairs, a striking timber staircase leads to an expansive and private main suite. This luxurious retreat features a dedicated home office, walk-through robes, dressing room, and an indulgent ensuite with twin marble vanities, a spa bath and oversized double shower—creating a five-star hotel experience you’ll enjoy every day.
Car accommodation is equally impressive, with an oversized double garage, roller door access to the side yard—perfect for additional vehicles, a boat or trailer—and off-street parking for two more cars.
Additional features include:
Ducted heating and cooling throughout
Ducted vacuum system
Security alarm
Intercom to front gate
Perfectly positioned just 5km from the Adelaide CBD, you’ll enjoy easy access to the cafés, restaurants and shopping of Kensington Road, Burnside Village and The Parade, Norwood, together with excellent public and private schools nearby.
A home of exceptional design, remarkable tranquillity and enduring quality, this is a rare opportunity to secure one of Kensington Gardens’ most admired residences.
