14 Thorngate Drive, Belair, SA 5052

An architectural Snowden Brougham and Moulds design, completed in 1974 by Martens and Marshall, and seamlessly extended to even more impressive scale in 1986, 14 Thorngate Drive is a family home completely of its time and utterly timeless simultaneously.

You'll never tire of watching light dance across the vast main lounge, full-length picture and clerestory windows aligned perfectly with east-west orientation for an abundance of both morning and afternoon rays. Masterfully balancing soaring timber-clad ceilings, feature fireplace, exposed red brick, and textured render, there's no shortage of authentic character to savour across the sun-drenched space.

Those striking lines continue an equally impressive family room, angled glass feature wall creating the perfect observation deck across the treetops. Overseen by a high-spec updated kitchen for natural flow, Corian benchtops unite a full suite of stainless-steel Miele appliances sure to please even the most fastidious cooks, while wall-to-wall concealed storage adds walk-in pantry and additional fridge alcove to the equation, securing its place as the heart of your home instantly. 

Stretching from an expansive main bedroom suite bookended by walk-in robe, renovated ensuite, and built-in dressing table, to three additional bedrooms tucked privately in their own wing, the slumber zones ensure a layout you can grow in to. A renovated family bathroom services all with luxurious floor-to-ceiling tiles, frameless shower, and stone-topped vanity, and freestanding bathtub, while heated towel rail and underfloor heating guarantee comfort across all seasons. 

Dual alfresco entertaining areas overlook lush established gardens and tiered lawns that envelope the 1345sqm allotment in botanical bliss. Unfolding to a sparkling in-ground pool that instantly secures its place as the epicentre of every summer to come, it's an outdoor empire that will take you from morning dip to cartwheel practice to cocktail hour with zero effort. 

Belair National, Shepherds Hill & Brownhill Creek Recreation Parks place a plethora of picnic spots and walking trails at your door for downtime spent exploring, with all the amenities of Belair, Blackwood, and Mitcham Square seconds away. With a quick trip to Belair Primary, Blackwood High, St Johns Grammar and Scotch & Mercedes Colleges, the school run has never been more streamlined. Less than 20 minutes to the Adelaide CBD, or harness nearby Pinera Train Station or the bus route for an effortless commute. 

The past, present, and future all look equally exceptional.
