15 Trevelyan Street, Wayville, SA 5034

UNDER CONTRACT

Held tightly by the same owners for four decades, this superb residence has been purpose and architecturally designed and built to offer the best in family living.

The gorgeous rose-planted front garden with abundant greenery is just an indicator of the exquisite outlook at the rear, which features a clay tennis court, and a magnificent creek-setting backdrop all set on an expansive 1,472 square metres (approximately).

Upon entry into this stunning home, is a generous porch which opens to a spacious hallway; the formal lounge with gorgeous bay window, opening to the formal dining room and beyond – both containing open fire places, making this space an entertainers delight in winter months. The bedroom wing has been strategically designed which contains the master bedroom with walk in robe and two additional spacious bedrooms, plus a large study/office (which could be converted to a fourth bedroom). A two way bathroom opens across two bedrooms which both overlook stunning gardens. 

Ahead of its time, the open-plan area at the rear incorporates a large open plan living and dining area, including spacious kitchen with plentiful cupboards, benchtops and storage as well as access to the cellar and magnificent outlook to lush, private gardens, informal living and dining; and an over-size under-cover deck – areas perfect for the family and/or entertaining friends. Also located here is a full-size bathroom, with bath, and a laundry.

As you walk out into the newly architecturally renovated outdoor entertaining area, you are greeted by Hamptons inspired surroundings, whilst overlooking breathtaking landscaped, private lush gardens that expand across split level entertaining areas, looking out over the magnificent clay tennis court. This outlook is truly like no other in Adelaide.

Built in 1915 by renowned architect/master builder Walter Charles Torode, who was, at the time, in the vanguard of the South Australian building industry, designing and building a succession of large and prestigious buildings in Adelaide. His specialty: steel reinforced concrete construction.

All this is evident at number 15 Trevelyan Street, with its solid concrete external (160 mm thick) and internal (110 mm thick) walls, and 3.3-metre-high ceilings, along with an abundance of stained-glass windows and decorative timber work – inside and out.

The clay court (one of only two in Adelaide) is perfect for Saturday afternoon games, the ball gaining a higher and slower bounce than on lawn – the French Open has been hosting matches on clay since 1928 and the court has hosted many famous tennis players over its lifetime. No matter what the occasion, this home and its unique exterior spaces, create the perfect setting for all entertaining purposes – it does not disappoint all year round and the outlook each season is breathtaking as the gardens transform from summer through to spring. 

There is undercover parking for two cars (and storage under the rear carport) and additional space in the driveway for off-street parking.

Established around 1900, Wayville has long held the reputation as a prestige city fringe location, in proximity to Adelaide's famed parklands and the CBD, both within walking distance, and the retail and café/restaurant strips of King William and Goodwood roads. It's a few stops on the tram to the centre of the city. 

Trevelyan Street itself, which winds back to King William Road, is a peaceful enclave, with Jacaranda trees kerbside fronting historic cottages and complimentary contemporary homes. 

Wayville is zoned for Glenunga International High and the local primary school is Goodwood Primary. Nearby private schools include Annesley Early Learning Centre, and Scotch College, Pulteney Grammar School, Concordia College and Walford Anglican School for Girls.
