WILLIAMS LUXURY is privileged to be showcasing this award-winning grand gentleman's residence C.1925 by CRAIG LINKE, where timeless character, exceptional craftsmanship and sophisticated contemporary living come together in one beautifully curated home. Set within a prestigious eastern suburbs address, this is a rare opportunity for the luxury buyer seeking a home of distinction, scale and enduring appeal.
From the moment you arrive, the calibre and integrity of the home is immediately apparent. A beautifully restored sandstone façade, a grand tessellated tiled verandah and meticulously manicured gardens designed by David Baptiste create a distinguished street presence, while beyond the front double doors lies a home that has been thoughtfully restored, reimagined and elevated with an extraordinary level of attention to detail.
From the moment you step inside, the grand entrance hallway is a timeless introduction to the home, making an immediate statement with its herringbone European oak timber flooring, timber wainscoting and fretwork, soaring decorative box ceilings and statement lighting. Grand yet sophisticated, the interiors reveal a sense of refined opulence and exceptional precision, perfectly capturing the home's respect for heritage, quality, and considered design.
From here, the home unfolds through beautifully orchestrated yet contrasting spaces – two principal entertaining rooms, that almost feel like a study in opposites: one dark, intimate, and atmospheric; the other light, elegant and distinctly Hamptons in influence. To the left, the showpiece... the award winning 'WHISKEY ROOM'. A true point of distinction, this bespoke retreat has been crafted for quiet, indulgent, and sophisticated entertaining with its quartzite stone fireplace, custom American walnut joinery, curved profile ladder, Ralph Lauren upholstery and bronze circular hoop chandelier. Rich in character and atmosphere, it provides the perfect setting to unwind, savour a favourite drop and enjoy relaxed conversation.
Adjacent, the Hamptons inspired grand dining room provides a light and elegant contrast, with a statement Carrara marble and limestone fireplace, bronze circular hoop chandelier and restored custom-upholstered box window bench seat. Framed by soft, natural light, and exquisite garden outlooks, this inviting space is perfectly positioned to capture the afternoon sun, offering a memorable space for entertaining.
Comprising an outstanding blueprint for the luxury family buyer, with approximately 442sqm of generous living the home offers four to five sumptuous bedrooms, two beautifully appointed main bathrooms, both formal and informal living, an upstairs retreat with bedroom and living space and a fully equipped chef inspired kitchen servicing both dining spaces.
The master suite is privately positioned at the front of the home with beautiful front garden outlooks and features bespoke custom joinery, with dedicated dressing table and Carrara marble and limestone feature fireplace.
Step outside to an entertainer's dream, with an expansive outdoor entertaining terrace overlooking the sparkling pool and majestic 100-year-old magnolia tree – the much-loved centrepiece that inspired the home's name by its original custodian.
"MAGNOLIA HOUSE" is undoubtedly one of South Australia's most breathtaking character residences currently offered to the luxury market following a meticulous restoration and masterful transformation; beautifully crafted, rich in history, and ready to be treasured for generations to come. We look forward to welcoming you through 16 Orange Grove, Kensington Park.
