"Mr Johnston was an outstanding businessman with an incredible vision, unrelenting drive and with an eye for the future." Godfreys CE John Hardy Nov 2018.

This 1990 home exceeds even current top end high spec standards. Commissioned by fastidious client, Godfreys Group original partner John Johnston, who started the Adelaide vacuum cleaner business in 1936. Seeking a haven for his latter years, a secure piece of tranquility, a lock up and secure compact space, he was not limited by budget. Able to build or buy anywhere in the world with a chain of over 200 Godfreys stores, ambience and a sense of immersion with nature, saw Karri St the selected site and the rest is history. Buyers with taste, flair and passion, will see this as a stunning example of vision by Clay Group's renowned Andreas Weiler, designed by Architect Angelo Ali.

Double brick constructed, with bold, white render, it was a cutting edge design with four octagonal lobes, linked with walls of 8mm sheet glass, forming galleries and unimpeded views to the privacy of the fully planned and irrigated surrounds. All rooms are beautifully proportioned with light flooding in. Vast double doors into a glazed atrium and views beyond, create the first impression with each room adding to the spectacular concept. It's open plan with a place for everything, cabinetry is exceptional with the sheer number and innovative solutions crafted to provide a seamless minimal look, banks of cupboards need to be seen to be believed. Now you can downsize and have a place for everything.

The northern, rear orientation provides an internal courtyard with soaring, octagonal feature ceiling, banks of heat reducing membrane along with open air panels, incorporating screens, allowing wonderful privacy, incredible insect free, liveability for leisurely breakfasts or entertaining on a large scale amidst established maple trees and a low maintenance garden.

The gourmet, polished granite kitchen with living, dining & casual meals zones radiating off, creates space as individual as its designer, free form and elegant. Mellow golden bamboo flooring throughout the living zones gives comfort, knowing it's ecologically sustainable and provides underfoot silkiness, a clever investment to showcase collections of rugs and gives flexibility to spaces & decor styles, it's enduring stylish and easy maintenance.

The ground floor main bedroom with ensuite and dressing room is a perfect retreat. The fourth bedroom / office with private entry for a work from home business gives commercial options.
