3 Caralue Road, Marino, SA 5049 - More Details
Contact Agent
High on the Marino hillside and unapologetically focused on the horizon, 3 Caralue Road doesn't simply admire the coast - it lives and breathes it. Bold, elevated, and designed to capture every shifting shade of sea and sky, this is a home that celebrates its setting at every turn.
Built in 2002 yet presenting with the confidence of something far newer, the two-level residence pairs crisp architectural lines with a striking palette of materials. Inside, a carefully layered aesthetic blends industrial edge, coastal ease, and bohemian warmth, creating interiors that feel fluid and perfectly balanced.
Oversized double doors open to a dramatic introduction. Polished concrete floors with underfloor heating stretch beneath soaring ceilings, drawing you forward to an open-plan living hub flooded with light. Walls of glass pull the ocean outlook deep indoors, dissolving the boundary between inside and out in spectacular style.
At its heart, a kitchen that refuses to fade into the background pairs stone benchtops with textured tile splashbacks, contrast cabinetry, and premium stainless-steel appliances - including an ultra-wide Westinghouse dual fuel cooker - creating a centrepiece that's equal parts showpiece and workhorse.
Just beyond, a sunken lounge continues the architectural rhythm, panoramic windows framing the sparkling pool like living artwork. When the season changes, a combustion fireplace takes over, bringing warmth and atmosphere to winter evenings.
Upstairs softens into retreat mode. A timber staircase rises to a living landing and balcony that captures its own unique coastal perspective. A main bedroom suite feels like a private sanctuary, complete with walk-in robe and ensuite, while two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the upper level. Downstairs, two additional rooms provide welcome flexibility, adapting as guest accommodation, home offices, or teen retreats.
Outside, the 1198sqm allotment unfolds as a lifestyle playground. Concertina doors peel back to a deck built for hosting, while winding paths weave through lush garden vignettes waiting to be discovered. A sweep of lawn invites barefoot afternoons, a sparkling pool and spa promise summers that never end, and a wood-fired pizza oven sets the scene for long lunches that stretch well past sunset.
Behind the scenes, the practicalities are just as considered. A double garage with workshop, dual carports, and secure electric-gated driveway ensure space for cars, caravans, and boats alike. Add in ducted cooling, irrigation system, an oversized laundry with additional bathroom for post-swim rinses, and extensive storage, and daily life runs seamlessly.
And then there's the location. Set within Marino's coveted coastal pocket, a short stroll takes you to Nimboya Road Reserve, Marino Conservation Park, Marino Rocks café or Little Nest for your coffee hit, or to the esplanade for beach walks and bike rides. Quality schooling at Seacliff Primary and Seaview High is close by, Flinders University sits just minutes away, and the nearby Marino Rocks train station streamlines the city commute.
Architectural presence, breathtaking outlooks, and a lifestyle that never loses sight of the sea - this is Marino at its most compelling.
