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 Marybank Estate.
