Positioned in one of Torrensville's most desirable and tightly held streets, minutes from the city fringe, this exquisitely restored symmetrical villa is a rare fusion of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary luxury. Thoughtfully reimagined with an uncompromising attention to detail, the home delivers timeless street appeal, grand proportions, and a flexible floorplan suited to modern family living on an ideal allotment.
From the moment you arrive, the home makes a striking first impression. A newly installed roof and front veranda with traditional bullnose detailing sets the tone, complemented by restored front stonework, repointed brickwork, and lacework carefully repaired to honour its original character. Custom leadlight windows grace the entrance while brand new sash-style timber windows and frames have been installed to further enhance the home's heritage authenticity while bringing it into modern age with additional specially made double glazed timber frames and windows.
Inside, newly reinstated soaring ceilings at an impressive 3.6m* create an immediate sense of grandeur, accentuated by oversized cornices, detailed ceiling roses including a statement custom piece, and a beautifully restored central hallway with custom skirtings and a Victorian arch. Original flooring has been salvaged and Baltic pine timber floors installed in the front rooms and hallway, while polished concrete defines the contemporary rear extension, creating a seamless blend of old and new.
A rare and invaluable cellar sits beneath the home, offering exceptional additional storage or potential wine cellar use. An increasingly scarce feature that adds both practicality and long-term appeal.
The flexible floorplan offers either three or four bedrooms depending on configuration, allowing for a second living area or additional bedroom if desired. Each space is enriched with character detailing, natural light, and quality finishes.
At the heart of the home, the newly designed kitchen showcases premium AEG and Electrolux appliances, generous storage, and a refined aesthetic that balances function with style. The fully renovated bathroom complements the home's modern upgrades while maintaining a timeless feel.
Comfort and security have been carefully considered, with ducted air conditioning, a comprehensive alarm system, upgraded electrical infrastructure with protective iron cladding, double insulation, and a solar system comprising 18 panels with an electric solar box ensuring energy efficiency and peace of mind.
The home's rear opens into a light-filled living and dining space that flows seamlessly to the landscaped backyard, creating an ideal setting for relaxed entertaining and everyday family living. Thoughtful landscaping to both front and rear gardens completes the property, enhancing both privacy and presentation.
An attic space provides valuable storage and future flexibility, further enhancing the home's functionality.

Everyday convenience is unmatched, with The Brickworks Marketplace just moments away, along with nearby cafés such as Elementary and Latte Studio, and a vibrant selection of multicultural dining along Henley Beach Road including Crossover Vietnamese, British Raj, and Pawana Afghan Kitchen.
