4 Marola Avenue, Rostrevor, SA 5073

Arguably one of Adelaide's best-preserved works of mid-century modern architecture, Dickson House is set upon a sprawling Rostrevor three-quarters of an acre, once a vineyard but now the spacious setting of an iconic residence accompanied by a tennis court and swimming pool.

Now offered to the market for the first time since its c1958 conception, the home was a masterstroke of design by acclaimed Robert Dickson for his brother and sister-in-law, who have passionately maintained and upheld the integrity of the era to this current day.

Recently chosen by comedian and mid-century 'modernister' Tim Ross as the site to host his only Adelaide shows, this one-of-a-kind residence has an incredible legacy to behold.

Complimenting the gum-studded terrain, the natural timbers and floor-to-ceiling glass of the façade create a cohesive collaboration between the encompassing landscape, carried through to strawboard internal ceilings – commencing an interior that's equally as durable as creatively aesthetic.

Spanning over split-levels the footprint combines kitchen, dining and living, defined by floating honeyed Oak shelves and timber-panelled walls - each distinctive trait of the era further highlighted by golden sunrays stemming from strategically placed floor-to-ceiling windows.

Originally configured as a two-bedroom but now a generous four, even the c1970's master extension perfectly blends with the rest of the home to feature built-in robes, ensuite and Dickson-designed sconce lighting.

Extended above to emerge from the low gradient roof, the skylit main bathroom delivers a wealth of natural light that transfers to a three-bedroom wing to the right of the floorplan.

Towering gums carry from front to back, surrounding the saltwater in-ground pool and grass tennis court with a bush-like atmosphere that creates a truly incredible terrain to both entertain and admire the rear silhouette of the home – even the resident Kangaroo agrees.

Evoking a feeling of complete seclusion whilst remaining conveniently close to public transport, high-calibre schooling and local amenities – don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be the fortunate new custodians of this iconic piece of Rostrevor's architectural history.
