This historic villa in one of Adelaide’s most sought-after suburbs enters the modern era with its contemporary design. 

Drenched in sunlight and spacious, this property stands proud on Frew Street, Fullarton, and is designed for a lifetime of memories. Old meets new in this character-filled c.1920s villa that has been tastefully elevated with a modern remodel and future-ready amenities. 

The entrance makes for a great first impression. A stone facade is softened by detailed iron lacework, stained glass and a tessellated porch design, inviting you inside. The original footprint of the house is just as grand. Polished pine floors and 3.3-metre decorative ceilings set the tone for the front half of the house, which can be configured as a four or three-bedroom home with the option for an additional living space. The master room is perhaps one of the most impressive parts of 2 Frew Street, a sophisticated retreat for the adults of the home fit with a fireplace, walk-in robe and ensuite with a couple’s basin. 

High ceilings marry old-world elegance with the contemporary essence of the extended back half. An open-plan kitchen and living area are the heart of this home, a light and airy addition that’s designed with get-togethers in mind. It features a Spotted Gum benchtop and top-of-the-range appliances (think a 900mm gas cooktop, Neff oven, Fisher & Paykel dish drawer). 

This communal hub gives way to a north-facing garden and undercover patio perfect for warmer weather. It’s a space that’s ideal for family entertaining – enjoy a long lunch with friends as kids play in the solar-powered, salt-water pool. In the garden, reignite your green thumb and tend to the espaliered fruit trees or nurture a seasonal veggie patch.  

What’s more, 2 Frew Street is future-ready, fit with a 6.5kW solar system plus ducted R/C air conditioning and ceiling fans. There’s also a double carport (which can store a caravan or boat) and a work shed for those who love to tinker. The home is ultra-secure, too – an electric sliding gate and extra-tall front fence ensure privacy. 

And of course, you can’t look past this four-bedroom, two-bathroom home’s location. It’s zoned to Glen Osmond Primary and Glenunga International High School and is only three kilometres from the city fringe. Premium shopping destinations like Burnside Village and Frewville Foodland, as well as private schools (think Seymour and Concordia College), are also within proximity, as is public transport – the nearest bus stop is only 500m from your front door.
