Prestigiously located in cosmopolitan Norwood and spanning a vast allotment of approximately 1,900 sqm approved by council for subdivision as three separate titles, stands a reimagined 1850's solid brick villa propelled into the 21st century via sympathetic and luxurious renovations.

Encapsulating the original villa and an adjacent cottage that has been fronted to match its striking counterpart, the two have been harmoniously fused together by modern architectural spaces accented by towering ceilings; preserving the historic grandeur and charm of the original structures whilst also granting wide-open spaces awash in natural light.

Internally, the substantial residence is dominated by huge modern architectural spaces featuring soaring banks of commercial grade windows, being both a nexus between the old and new wings as well as effortlessly joining the kitchen and living spaces.

Comprising 8 spacious bedrooms (two with ensuites), 5 modern bathrooms, 3 living areas, an enormous car enthusiasts' garage for 8 vehicles with kitchenette, this stately residence is laden with irreplaceable character including polished Baltic pine floorboards, detailed plaster cornicing, architraves, ceiling roses, extra high skirting boards and elegant stonemasonry throughout.

The modern chef's kitchen is complete with high quality joinery, stainless steel European appliances, a large granite benchtop and luxurious integrated Liebherr fridge/freezers with an expansive butler's pantry.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the bar area, plush home theatre with 3D projector and a separate stairway leading to an extensive dry cellar with sleeping quarters opening off this space into separate wings.

Further elevating this grand residence is the large vergola covered undercover pool and BBQ area, the large rumpus room above the garage (ideal as a teenage retreat), the low-maintenance synthetic tennis court and multiple undercover outdoor areas ensuring opulent entertaining for the largest of gatherings.

Located a short walk to the boutiques, cafes, bars and epicurean delights of The Parade, the residence is also in close proximity to public transport and Adelaide's most elite education providers.

Offering an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a huge Norwood allotment with a substantial and modernised character home (or lot 52 separately) in the heart of Adelaide's consistently most popular city-fringe suburb, 9-11 Foster Street awaits the next custodian of it's important legacy.
