Featured in the acclaimed publication Adelaide Modernism: 101 Houses, the iconic Carter House is an exceptional example of South Australia's early Modernist architecture. Designed by renowned architect William (Bill) Batt, this remarkable residence celebrates the craftsmanship and innovation of its era, with timeless design elements including locally sourced Carey Gully stone, terrazzo flooring, striking skillion rooflines and the clean, understated lines that define mid-century architecture.

Positioned on a generous 757sqm corner allotment, this architecturally significant home has been thoughtfully updated to complement contemporary family living while carefully preserving its original character. Offering four bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, a spectacular self-contained studio completed in 2020, a sparkling in-ground swimming pool and secure double carport with valuable side access, this is a home of rare distinction with outstanding flexibility.

From the moment you arrive, the home's original stone fencing, slate-fronted verandah and authentic mid-century detailing create an unforgettable first impression. Inside, a front entrance hall framed by a magnificent feature stone wall introduces interiors that are both elegant and inviting.

The spacious formal lounge and dining room is flooded with natural light through expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing, perfectly framing tranquil garden vistas while showcasing another striking stone feature wall. Rich timber flooring, clean architectural lines and a split-system air conditioner complete this beautiful living space.

At the heart of the home, the updated galley kitchen overlooks the north-facing family room, where an oversized picture window captures views across the landscaped gardens and sparkling swimming pool beyond. Designed for everyday functionality, the kitchen features soft-close cabinetry, a gas cooktop, dishwasher, double sink and generous storage.

The beautifully renovated bathroom incorporates floor-to-ceiling tiling, a frameless glass shower and terrazzo flooring. The updated laundry and separate guest toilet continue the home's cohesive style, while all three bedrooms within the main residence include built-in robes, two with split-system air conditioning. The master bedroom also enjoys the versatility of an adjoining home office or sunroom overlooking the gardens, while additional split-system air conditioning is provided in both the family room and living/dining area.

Adding exceptional value is the stunning detached studio, completed in 2020. Perfectly positioned to enjoy peaceful views across the pool and gardens, this beautifully appointed space offers remarkable flexibility as guest accommodation, multigenerational living, a private home office, teenager's retreat or an income-producing Airbnb. Previously generating a net income of approximately $150 per night, it presents an attractive opportunity for buyers seeking additional lifestyle or financial benefits.

The studio itself is finished to an exceptional standard, featuring a stylish kitchenette with soft-close cabinetry, undermount sink and dedicated refrigerator space, an elegant ensuite with floor-to-ceiling tiling, split-system air conditioning, downlights and bi-fold servery windows opening onto an inviting hardwood entertaining deck.

Outside, the resort-style swimming pool, framed by sleek glass fencing and established gardens, creates a private sanctuary for entertaining family and friends or simply relaxing in the sunshine. The seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living perfectly complements the home's architectural philosophy.

Situated in one of Adelaide's most tightly held city-fringe suburbs, this exceptional residence enjoys an enviable lifestyle only five kilometres from the CBD. Peaceful tree-lined streets are complemented by outstanding convenience, with Cumberland Park Shopping Centre, Mitcham Square, King William Road, Hyde Park and the vibrant cafés and restaurants of Goodwood all just moments away.
