Best of the best: Five luxe Adelaide homes sold in 2019
From a historic blue-chip suburb mansion to a funky townhouse and jaw-dropping church conversion – 2019 has seen no shortage of luxe homes on the market. Here are five of the best.
Each of these homes has graced the cover of the Advertiser’s Real Estate magazine, which will return January 18.
1. History comes to life in a grand family entertainer in Kensington Gardens
Address: 40 East Terrace, Kensington Gardens
Price: $3.85 million to $4.085 million
Agency: Harcourts Williams
It might once have been the residence of the man considered by many to be the father of the Australian automotive industry, but for vendors Sonia and Carmine Mignone it’s simply been a tremendous place to live.
Built in 1925 for Sir Edward Wheewall Holden – the prominent Adelaide industrialist who partnered his family’s carriage and saddlery business with General Motors to create Australia’s first car manufacturer – the Kensington Gardens property has seen its fair share of well-known identities, with former Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies and famed opera singer Dame Nellie Melba reportedly among its past visitors.

Located on the corner of East Tce and Kadonga Ave, Sir Edward Holden House is sited on 3720sqm approximately of parklike grounds.
The elegant family entertainer offers the best of both worlds, with a mix of classic and contemporary themes throughout. A stunning grand entrance opens to a tessellated tiled gallery, with hallways in turn leading into approximately 743sqm of luxury living.
Boasting up to five kingsize bedrooms – the master with a walk-in dressing room and ensuite bathroom – and three more modern bathrooms, the home is perfectly set up for family life.

3. Houghton church conversion offers a heavenly change of scenery
Address: 8 Horn St, Houghton
Price: $990,000 to $1.08 million
Agency: Harcourts Williams Luxury in conjunction with Hunt Lifestyle
Coming across this converted Houghton church five years ago was something of a hallelujah moment for vendors Tammy and Mark Michalski.
Looking to settle in Adelaide from Canberra, the pair visited the stunning Horn St home “on a whim” – and their property prayers were answered.
“We didn’t know much about Houghton and just drove up the hill and fell in love with the house and the town,” Mrs Michalski said.
“It’s so beautiful up here. It’s amazing – no-one seems to really know much about it. It’s just tucked behind Inglewood and pretty small … and tightly held.”

The original church, built in 1866, has been respectfully transformed into a light-filled large living space enhanced by magnificent windows, a fireplace, feature timber floors and high ceilings.
Offering three bedrooms – the main also featuring a private courtyard, walk-in robe and luxurious ensuite – two living spaces, a study, two bathrooms and an above ground cellar/store room, the extension offers the best in low-maintenance living.

The Michalskis added the home’s stunning JAG kitchen, which was designed with the foodie in mind.
The extensive 2355sqm block was also beautifully landscaped to create a tranquil and enjoyable space, with something for every green thumb to appreciate, including a mini-orchard and a “chicken palace”.
