Feature Property

Only a handful of homes will ever have the privilege of looking north along Adelaide’s metro coastline…

Only 5 Barton Avenue will look so good doing it.

Designed and brought to life by a national award-winning builder, this ultra-modern 4-bedroom family home strikes a two-storey figure as swoonworthy as the outlook it affords from Seacliff to Glenelg and all the way to Port Adelaide on the horizon.

Set back on the high side of its street to carve out soul-soothing calm - and room for the in-ground pool you don’t see coming - the way its cedar-clad facade seems to meld into Marino’s natural surrounds is something to behold.

Inside, rammed earth feature walls, oak floors, oversized openings, textured sheer curtains and prolific use of glass impart an aesthetic that is warm and edgy in the same breath.

And that’s just the lower floor of this supremely flexible, solar-powered home that saves its spacious best for open-plan living on its upper level.

With custom oak cabinetry, Ceasarstone’s Rugged Concrete benchtops, stainless steel appliances, finger tile splashbacks and a butler’s pantry, the kitchen is nothing short of a functional work of art - and the centrepiece of a family room that flows with effortless ease to its partnering entertainer’s terrace balcony. The best seat in the house.

Whether you’re cooking, putting your feet up in front of the feature fireplace or solving life’s problems on the terrace while the kids swim below, that view is always by your side and is never the same from one hour to the next.

The sole bedroom on the upper level, the master retreat - featuring a walk-in robe and fully-tiled, under-floor-heated ensuite - captures those famous Adelaide sunsets and rolling storms the moment its architectural external blinds open at the push of a button.

Just metres from a direct path to Kingston Park beach, the very coastline you see every day like few can is just steps from home, making Marino a secret worth keeping quiet. A home you’ll want to show off to the world.
