WITH A SENSE OF GRANDEUR, THIS ELEGANT FAMILY HOME BRINGS A HINT OF THE HAMPTONS TO ADELAIDE
BRITTANY SMITH
CLASSIC BEAUTY

FIRST IMPRESSIONS Old-world charm is achieved in spades with the use of hen-pecked travertine veneer on the facade of this South Australian family home. This aura of formality and grandeur is enhanced with decorative detailing, such as plaster moulds to the facade and the dormer windows. The driveway, made from wet-laid bluestone cobblestone, cuts through the manicured lawn. Lights from USA Progress Lighting complete the elegant look. 

With sun-drenched rooms and high ceilings, this four-bedroom family home, a short drive from Adelaide's W coastline, is a breath of fresh air for owner and interior designer, Delilah.

The project was a labour of love. Delilah bought the 2000 square metre property in 2015, knocking down the existing building three years later. From the initial meetings with Genworth Group, who designed and built the new home, right to the last lick of paint, she was heavily involved in the process. Finally, after four years and the addition of her daughter, Chantelle, now two years old the home of Delilah's dreams is complete.

"There were many non-negotiables," laughs Delilah. "I wanted windows at the back of the house to let the light in, high ceilings, two courtyards, mantlepieces, a library, and an office." While the office was intended as a place for Delilah to kickstart her new interior design business, Gloss Interiors, she wanted the rest of the home to serve her love of entertaining family and friends.
