A former lottery prize house in Adelaide has hit the market, offering buyers a rare chance to own a designer masterpiece without the luck of the draw.
A lucky Adelaide couple won the $4.6 million house at 24b Church Terrace, Walkerville through the Hospital Research Home Lottery last year.
The couple moved into the fully furnished, four-bedroom home last October, but decided to list the property for sale so they could downsize and move closer to the coast.
Ray White Marion director Samuel Paton is selling the property via expressions of interest, with a price guide of about $4.6 million to $4.7 million.
“This is a rare opportunity to bypass the lottery odds and move straight into a home that was curated by the best designers in the state,” Mr Paton said.
“It’s perfectly suited for a family that values high-end entertainment and architectural excellence.”

At the front of the home is an elegant lounge room featuring built-in library shelving, expansive windows and a limestone gas fireplace.
Towards the back of the home is a spacious open plan living and dining area, featuring a statement stone fireplace, custom joinery, integrated speakers and expansive sliding doors to the outdoor living space.
The designer kitchen has sleek cabinetry, a large stone island bench, integrated European appliances, and a concealed butler's pantry complete with a second sink and dishwasher.

Heading outside, the elevated alfresco area overlooks a rear lawn and heated swimming pool surrounded by established landscaping.
The outdoor entertaining area comes with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen featuring a Beef Eater BBQ and sink, as well as skylights, heaters and integrated speakers.
Mr Paton said the home was proving popular due to the quality of the finishes.

“We've had our first viewing and we've had an overwhelming response from the market so far,” he said.
“I think we're approaching 50 inquiries at the moment, so we had a solid first Inspection.
"The quality of the finish stands out, there's been no stone left unturned with this home. It's one of the highest quality homes I've seen.”

He said the near new home was standing out compared to older renovated homes in the neighbourhood.
“One reason we're getting so much interest is because there are a lot of similar homes in the area that are older and have been renovated,” he said.
“I think the market is suggesting that it's refreshing to see a near new, modern home hit the market with all the quality finishes.

“It’s probably the main point of difference between this one and some others that have been available.”
The home is finished with European oak herringbone flooring, high ceilings, and heated flooring in the ensuite and main bathroom.
It also comes with a temperature-controlled wine display room with storage for approximately 500 bottles, a remote entry double garage, and a 13kW solar system with LG battery.

The 823 square metre property is in Walkerville, less than 6 kilometres from the Adelaide CBD, and is surrounded by some of the area's most desirable amenities.
It is zoned for Adelaide Botanic High School, Adelaide High School and Walkerville Primary School, and is within walking distance to Wilderness School and St Andrews School.
The home is near popular shopping and dining precincts along Walkerville Terrace, Melbourne Street and O'Connell Street, as well as Walkerville Oval, Memorial Gardens and other recreational areas.
The median house price in Walkerville rose 6.8% to $1.9325 million during the year to March, according to PropTrack.
