Glenelg North home’s X-rated bathroom feature stuns buyers

A Glenelg North home with a unique – some might say ‘adults-only’ – feature is capturing buyer’s attention, with its selling agent saying he has never sold another home with anything like it.

The home at 39 Adelphi Crescent, Glenelg North, which is on the market with a price guide of $5.3m to $5.5m after its expressions of interest campaign ended on Tuesday, has a raft of amazing features to dazzle house hunters, including a spectacular indoor pool and outdoor kitchen.

By far the most unique feature – the most uncommon one in Adelaide’s conservative market – is the floor-to-ceiling bathroom mural depicting a nude male and woman.

Well, the guy’s in the nick. The woman is wearing a pair of black gloves as she attempts to cover her breasts.

Selling agent Josh Morrison of Magain Real Estate said it was certainly a talking point.

“I’ve never sold a place with something like this before – it’s pretty unique,” he said.

“It’s definitely different, and I like it.

“It’s really classy – it’s been really well done. I love it!”

Mr Morrison said the mural had been a hit with everyone he had shown through, and it was unlikely to deter buyers for whom it wasn’t their cup of tea, as if they can afford to buy at that price bracket, then they could also afford to change it if they so wished.

“It’s more about it being the right property for them, if they like the home they’ll take it and then just change an aspect of it that isn’t really them,” he said.

Created for its former owners and original builders Chris and Joanne Rose, the couple custom designed the SICIS Hedonism piece and had it imported.

“We had it made in China to fit the wall – a 3m x 2.4m space – and shipped it in sight unseen,” Mr Rose said at the time.

“I remember unboxing it on the lawn and it was exactly what we wanted, right down to the colour shades.

“We were initially going to do our own, either in a mosaic or a dot-matrix style feature on the wall, but the benefit of the mosaic is it has a lot of texture in the tile and it has a lot of contour to it.”

Mr Morrison said inquiry in the 2016-built home – which overlooks the Patawalonga River and has five bedrooms and huge light-filled living spaces – had been enormous.

“It’s gone off the charts for inquiry – it’s been really strong,” Mr Morrison said.

“We had a lot of family buyers and a lot of interstate interest.
