Two halves, one extraordinary home – an epic Tudor reimagined to full 2025 scale

A home in two acts – one steeped in history, the other boldly contemporary – 366 Portrush Road sets an unforgettable benchmark for exactly how it should be done.

Beyond the secure entry, the home opens into a world of its own – quiet, refined, and entirely private. Constructed in 1929 and celebrated as a vibrant social hub, Petwood rose as Adelaide shifted from the dependable bungalow to the romance of English-inspired architecture. Red and glazed blue brick, a Wunderlich roof, and dark-green timber gables compose a cinematic frontage.

Fast forward and those origins have been expanded. Designed by D’Andrea Architects and brought to life by Zee Constructions in 2022, soaring light-filled spaces meet the old-world details, and every texture – from polished concrete to jarrah, glazed brick to marble, ornate to sleek – engages in a dialogue that elevates both to heights neither could reach alone.

An oversized entry hall and connected formal reception rooms celebrate the original footprint, canopied by soaring decorate ceilings and wrapped in Tudor-glass bay windows, while a decadent main suite has been upscaled into a hotel-like retreat with its own bay window, wall-to-wall and walk-in robes, and a luxe Italian tiled ensuite.

A Velux-skylit hallway begins the transition to two additional bedrooms, a versatile study, and an equally upscale family bathroom in their own private wing.

And then, the showstopper: an open-plan living pavilion where light pours through wall-to-wall windows. A stone-clad wood log gas fire anchors the space, built-in cabinetry lines the walls, and the kitchen sets new apex with a double-depth island, floor-to-ceiling stone, an enviable butler’s pantry, and Smeg Neptune Grey appliances (including dual MultiTech and pyrolytic ovens).

Stacked glass doors peel back to extend the lines alfresco, full outdoor kitchen keeping every conversation flowing. A frameless glass fence frames a sparkling heated pool, while lush lawns, established gardens, veggie patch, and a workshop finish the grounds with the ultimate outdoor empire.

Every bonus detail has been considered, from a guest shower with easy exterior access for post-swim rinses, to an oversized laundry that more than doubles as utility and mudroom, wine cellar that stashes and showcases your collection, return driveway with dual electric gates for seamless arrivals and departures, and the sustainable touch of 19.26kW solar.

All of this is hidden securely away in a location that complements the home’s duality: walk to Tusmore and Hazelwood Parks, Burnside Village, and Norwood Parade, or reach the CBD in ten minutes. Zoned for Linden Park Primary, Marryatville High, and nearby private options, it’s a lifestyle as perfectly considered as the architecture itself.

A masterpiece then, and a gamechanger now – there’s nothing to do but move in and marvel.
