11 Simpson Parade, Goodwood, SA 5034

A study in quiet luxury and cleverly unfolding spaces, this 2009 near-city escape on 317m2 offers easy-breezy livability with lifestyle choices plus.

As a location, it's hard to go past. Catch the tram to Glenelg and your city workplace, and sample all the cafes, restaurants and designer boutiques that add up to a very happening scene on nearby King William Road. It's a pretty street too, with a small park opposite supplying gorgeous green outlooks and a winter creek.

A thoughtfully edited exterior palette of stone, timber and rendered masonry creates a pared-back sense of character in keeping with the streetscape.

The fresh white interior is again simple yet sophisticated, with lofty doors and ceilings in an easy-flowing design that encompasses two-storeys at the rear and flexible indoor-outdoor spaces with lashings of natural light. Spread out, relax and entertain in north-facing formal and courtyard-view open-plan family areas flowing out through stack-up glass to deck entertaining with mains gas for the barbecue. Cook the food you love to share here and in the sleekest of galley kitchens featuring plenty of soft-close storage, Caesar stone counters, quality German appliances, water filter tap and a breakfast bar that encourages family and friends to gather around the peninsular bench. A powder room and laundry are just steps away.

Having the master bedroom suite on the ground floor offers couples the option of single-level living with an upstairs study/media room extending a private floor of hospitality to family and guests, along with two queen-sized bedrooms and a sparkling full bathroom.

Custom details make this home much higher spec than most, with beautiful spotted gum flooring in high-traffic areas, a stunning glass-sided timber-tread staircase, niche for your favourite artwork and spacious storage solutions throughout including glass-fronted robes and under-stairs wine cellarage.

A beautiful home that caters brilliantly to a lifestyle of private relaxation, seamless entertaining and lock-up-and-leave travel. If you only view one property this weekend, make sure it's this one!
