22 Queen Street, Norwood, SA 5067

Seldom is a home of such exceptional quality offered to market. With a no expense spared renovation, glorious formal grounds and an outstanding corner position on one of Norwood's premier treelined streets, there is little wonder it was recognised by the Sunday Mail as one of the Top 50 Homes in SA for 2023.  

A magnificent example of Art deco architecture, this gracious residence was built in the 1930's for the Mayor of Norwood. Eighty years later, the house underwent a total renovation and virtual rebuild that was seamlessly executed to celebrate and replicate the homes original architectural splendour with uncompromised attention to detail, state-of-the art technology and modern luxury.

The calibre of the property is evident from the street, with a highly admired formal showpiece garden complementing the grand triple gabled sandstone façade.
Bound by wrought iron fencing, manicured hedges of box and lilly-pilly form intricate parterres punctuated by specimen trees, fragrant roses, statement urns and some of the most magnificent conifer topiaries you will ever see. At night the garden comes alive with feature lighting, and immaculate artificial lawn minimises additional maintenance.

From remote gate entry, a wide driveway sweeps under a wisteria clad pergola into a double garage with an automatic door, polished concrete floor, built-in storage and attic ladder for access to an expansive rumpus room/studio space that is also ideal for extensive storage.

The deep front veranda provides a peaceful place to relax with a coffee or cocktail and soak in the glorious garden. The front door introduces exquisite art deco leadlight that has been perfectly reproduced to great effect in windows throughout.

The interior is warm and inviting, with two sumptuous levels of interconnected living underpinned by timber and marble finishes, and exquisite fittings and fixtures. 

A resplendent reception hall introduces stunning original architectural details including timber panelled walls, box beam ceilings with intricate plaster mouldings, and jarrah boards that span throughout the ground floor.

To either side elegant formal living and dining rooms mirror each other, and are adorned with leadlight doors, gas fires, and superb domed ceiling roses.
A masterpiece of design, these rooms are linked to centrally placed informal living and the adjacent kitchen, ensuring effortless entertaining for intimate gatherings to large scale events. 

The entertainer's kitchen has been custom designed to the highest specification. Bespoke joinery in the French provincial style incorporates a range of integrated European appliances, substantial granite work tops, and an island bench that sits beneath a sparkling chandelier.

A box bay accommodates casual dining and spills through to conservatory stye alfresco living. This indoor/outdoor room is perfect for year-round entertaining, with a Nectre Baker's wood burning oven, ceiling fans and Velux sensor skylights with automated thermal blinds. 
The rear is extremely low maintenance but none-the-less beautifully landscaped for maximum impact. Nestled in its own private garden pocket is a unique marine grade stainless steel heated plunge pool in which to gather with friends or relax at the end of the day.

Family accommodation includes a sumptuous master suite downstairs, with a walk-in robe and lavish marble ensuite that mirrors the glamorous guest powder room.
Upstairs, a living retreat sits between two luxurious bedrooms, with one boasting two walk-in robes and secret access to additional roof storage rooms. The opulent hotel style family bathroom features a luxuriant claw foot bath and separate WC.
