ABOUT THE HOUSE
The House, located in Rostrevor, is a significant mid-century architectural masterpiece set amidst the beautiful foothills of Morialta National Park. Designed by renowned architect Robert Dickson in 1958 for his brother and sister-in-law, this exceptional residence stands tall on a three-quarters of an acre property that was once a vineyard and now boasts a serene setting complete with a tennis court and swimming pool.
Having been preserved meticulously by its owners, The House stands as one of Adelaide's finest examples of mid-century modern architecture. Recently highlighted by comedian Tim Ross for its uniqueness, this home carries a rich legacy worth exploring. The architectural design of the house seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows and natural timber elements creating a harmonious connection with the landscape.
The interior of The House, spread across multiple levels, showcases the quintessential features of the era such as floating honeyed Oak shelves, timber-paneled walls, and strategically placed windows that flood the spaces with natural light. Originally designed as a two-bedroom home, it has since been expanded to offer four generously sized bedrooms, including a master extension from the 1970s featuring modern amenities and impeccable design details.
Surrounded by towering gum trees, the property hosts a saltwater in-ground pool and a grass tennis court, providing a serene backdrop for outdoor activities and entertainment. Despite its secluded feel, The House is conveniently located near public transport, esteemed schools like Stradbroke School and Morialta Secondary College, as well as local amenities.
