4 Monarto Court

*Please park at the bottom of the driveway for open inspections* Etched into its hidden, elevated foothills setting to watch the city and Adelaide's famous sunsets on repeat, whether you're swimming or settled inside, the only thing better than the view is the 1981 architectural home that serves it. Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, you won't know this vast split-levelled home unless you truly want to find it at the gum-studded crest of its bird-laden, soul-soothingly peaceful plot. You'll enter via a weighty, solid timber double door, opening to a sky-lit atrium at the highest point of this tri-tiered home that retreats to quiet wings and draws on prolific glazing to bring the outside in. Each level feels naturally connected to the next, drawing you down like the steps of an amphitheater towards its performative encore: that pool, those city lights and the ocean beyond. Yet there's always a chance to escape one another, whether it be to work in the designated study, make a start on dinner in the updated kitchen or catch a quick nap in a main bedroom wing with walk-in-robe, marble-smothered ensuite and private deck. Jarrah floors add a touch of warmth and texture to this solar-powered home with a mid-century-inspired low-slung roofline, raked ceilings and a secret wine room with racks for hundreds of bottles. Outside, a carefully curated mix of natives and flat, open spaces frame the heated pool, a covered entertainer's deck, four-car garage and additional off-street parking. What feels worlds away is just 5 minutes from St Peter's Girls' College, 10 from Burnside Village and 20 from the CBD you can see.
