Ray White Port Adelaide sales agents Teagan Earl and Alex Nilsen have launched two brand new, exceptional properties in the sought-after West Lakes suburb of Adelaide. No. 12 and 12A of Sir John Marks Drive have just hit the market but have already garnered plenty of attention from buyers looking for something high calibre and ready to move into.

The two four bedroom lakeside homes, built by luxury home builders SV Built, have been listed through an expressions of interest campaign closing January 31.

SV Built director and construction manager Emile Ellens said the team has been developing for 13 years and building their own developments for a decade now, along with also building custom designed homes and doing high end renovations for clients.

SV Built specialise in high end developments in the western coastal suburbs of Adelaide, with all within 100m to 600m of the beach. The development company has won multiple awards for their builds and developments, which includes taking out the Housing Industry Association (HIA) Speculative Build of the Year 2018 and HIA Custom Built Home of the Year ($1 million to $2 million) 2022.

“We are proud to say all our developments have been snapped up within weeks and most fetched record prices in the areas at the time,” Mr Ellens said.

Both lakeside properties were built with a focus on great presence and street appeal, and are located on one of the most exclusive streets in West Lakes. Mr Ellens said the brief was to design a very practical house which can adapt to most lifestyles and demographics.

“Offering large rooms and living, master bedrooms on the ground floor and a level of finish that exudes luxury and quality, we were also able to maximise the tapered block and levelled the land to produce a house that has no split levels as a lot in this area do have,” he said.

“We then finished off the exterior of these houses with platinum white exposed concrete, solid rendered retaining walls, floating honed concrete steps and established gardens.

“These houses are filled with natural travertine stone, American White Oak flooring and joinery and Western Red Cedar cladding on the exterior.

“These houses will suit a wide demographic, from busy professionals, retirees, families who want to live in the area, and anyone who loves living by the sea and right next to the lake.

“Someone who is seeking a quality built house that will stand the test of time.”

Lead agent Teagan Earl of Ray White Port Adelaide said the property has already garnered significant interest from a diverse range of potential buyers, including downsizers, upsizers, families, and professional couples.

“Its thoughtfully designed layout and floorplan feature a master bedroom with a walk-in robe and ensuite on the ground floor, which strongly appeals to the downsizer demographic,” she said.

“Additionally, the high-quality finishes and functional aspects of the home resonate with families, who appreciate the value and practicality inherent in the design.

“Careful consideration of how the home would suit those who like to entertain has also widened the buyer pool to those seeking a lifestyle of grandeur and convenience such as a professional couple.

“Many buyers have said this level of craftsmanship is either unprecedented or rarely seen in recent years.

“Specific features that have resonated strongly include the ducted vacuum system, gas fireplace, butler’s pantry, herringbone floorboards, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, and the unique convenience of direct laneway access to the lake from just across the road.”
