107/109 Watson Ave Toorak Gardens SA 5065
"High Society on Watson" - Exquisite heirloom entertainer on 1773sqm, featuring Pauline Hurren additions, a north-south tennis court & pool
Picture this, the circular driveway, a procession of cars, guests alighting under the porte cochere, cocktails and canapes on the terrace, french doors thrown wide to the drawing room, Catherine Lambert crooning a sultry jazz ballad, dancing under the portico by the pool, chef Chris Jarmer working his magic in the kitchen, by the way, he loved it! An army of waiters flitting between the butler's servery and majestic dining room. It's occasions like this that conjure the true magic of this grand and most gracious Georgian. A home like no other, set in beautiful established grounds that sprawl across a magnificent corner block on 2 Titles.
Over the years many have sought to own it and failed. Now, after 42 years of occupation by the current owners and for only the second time since plans were drawn up in 1924, this architectural masterpiece and repository of global treasures, renovated from the ground up and seamlessly extended by Adelaide's most celebrated heritage architect, is ready to welcome a lucky new family.
Built for a famous tailor from Broken Hill; a bon vivant with a keen eye for craftsmanship as evidenced by the wealth of beautiful architectural features lofty ceilings and joinery of spellbinding intricacy in the Georgian style, fine beveled glazing and exquisite light fittings collected on frequent forays abroad. Would Sid Ingerson have approved of the contemporary additions, the climate controlled conservatory, heated travertine floors, gorgeous rock maple joinery, the glittering glass mosaic pool, marble spa and metres of Gosford Quarry sandstone? We think so!
