Timeless 1926 Character. Architectural Excellence Redefined in 2026.

Balancing timeless character with contemporary design, this 1926 bungalow has been meticulously renovated and extended for modern family living. Set on a 725sqm allotment, with architecture and interiors by Spencer Architects, the residence honours its heritage through an extension completed in 2026.

Behind its restored façade and landscaped gardens lies a home of exceptional craftsmanship. Soaring 3.1m ceilings, restored original timber floorboards finished in a striking Black Japan stain, decorative wall panelling and architectural features honour the home’s rich history.

The transition from old to new is spectacular. Open-plan living and dining spaces unfold beneath 3.3m ceilings, where polished salt-and-pepper concrete floors, exposed white brickwork and commercial-grade double-glazed windows create a welcoming atmosphere. Highlight windows invite natural light, while full-height sheer curtains soften the architectural lines and enhance its understated elegance.

The designer kitchen makes an immediate statement. Custom floor-to-ceiling Polytec Florentine Walnut cabinetry and CDK Stone ‘New Saviour’ limestone benchtops and matching splashback combine style with functionality. Premium appliances, including a gas cooktop, are complemented by a dedicated wine and coffee bar and walk-in pantry with bespoke walnut joinery. The dining area features a striking exposed brick wall incorporating an Escea gas fireplace, creating an inviting atmosphere for entertaining or relaxed evenings, seamlessly connecting to the living and outdoor entertaining spaces.

Accommodation comprises three generously proportioned bedrooms plus a dedicated study. The master suite offers a luxurious retreat with a Cannon gas fireplace, spacious walk-in robe with bespoke black floor-to-ceiling joinery and ensuite. Bedrooms two and three feature premium built-in wardrobes.

Both bathrooms showcase floor-to-ceiling tiling, custom cabinetry and premium ABI Interiors fixtures in brushed brass and brushed nickel. The main bathroom offers a luxurious bathtub and separate shower, while the adjoining powder room adds everyday practicality. A beautifully appointed laundry incorporates custom full-height cabinetry, Smartstone benchtops and distinctive Eco Outdoor Endicott crazy paving stone flooring.

Expansive French doors open onto an undercover alfresco entertaining area with timber decking and a bespoke outdoor kitchen featuring Zenith Surfaces VCS benchtops and a built-in Weber Q barbecue. Overlooking the beautifully landscaped rear gardens and generous lawn, this space provides the perfect setting for year-round entertaining and family gatherings.

Beyond the alfresco, the expansive backyard offers an enviable sense of space, with established landscaping, lush lawns and a dedicated fire pit area to unwind beneath the stars. A substantial Stratco shed with built-in shelving provides excellent storage and versatility.

Further enhancing the home’s appeal are two zoned Daikin reverse-cycle air-conditioning systems, acoustic insulation and double-layer Fyrchek plasterboard to acoustic specifications, complemented by plantation shutters, sheer and blockout curtains throughout the home.

Perfectly positioned in Cowandilla, the home balances peaceful suburban living with excellent city-fringe connectivity. Just minutes from the Adelaide CBD, residents enjoy easy access to cafés, shopping, public transport and Adelaide’s vibrant inner west. Families will appreciate the proximity to Cowandilla Primary School and Underdale High School.
