Total Transformation: Torrens Park House Renovated from Derelict to Modern Home in Adelaide’s South East

We renovated the facade of the home, living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry, kitchen & the outdoor entertaining area.

In late 2018, the renovation experts received a call to quote for a new kitchen in a Torrens Park property. Upon arrival, they were astonished by the state of the house, which was nothing more than four walls and a roof.

The previous builder had gone bankrupt in the early stages of renovation, leaving the owner with a bare shell and in total disarray. After a conversation with the owner, the renovation experts suggested taking on the whole renovation project, and they were able to deliver the owner’s dream home within four months.

The team transformed the mid-70s cream brick house into a modern 2020s style home. They moved the kitchen to the rear of the house and added an extra bedroom and separate laundry within the existing structure.

The renovation involved a range of tradespeople, including carpenters, electricians, plumbers, tilers, pest control, painters, plasterers, renderers, steam cleaners, bricklayers, glaziers, window installers, quick cut and wall removal team, and cabinetry specialists. The team coordinated and oversaw the whole project, completing the renovation on time and within the owner’s budget.

Although the pictures do not fully convey the extent of the disarray the team began with, they showcase the significant transformation that took place. The owner was delighted with the result and even invited the team to the housewarming party.

If you are planning a major renovation but are not sure where to start, the experts suggest that they can provide a quote for more than just fantastic kitchens and cabinetry. They can offer the whole house renovation and coordinate it for you.

Renovating vs building new

When it comes to improving your living space, the decision to renovate or build a new home in Adelaide can be a tough one. While both options have their pros and cons, there are several benefits to renovating your home that may make it a more appealing choice.

Firstly, renovating your home can be more cost-effective than building a new one. Renovations allow you to work with your existing space and make necessary improvements without the added expense of starting from scratch. Additionally, renovating your home can increase its value, making it a smart investment in the long run.

Secondly, renovating your home allows you to maintain the character and charm of your existing space. Building a new home may mean sacrificing the unique features and history of your current home, which can be a loss for many homeowners.

Thirdly, renovating your home allows you to customise your living space to your specific needs and preferences. Whether you want to create a more open floor plan, add more natural light, or update your kitchen with new cabinetry and countertops, renovating your home can provide you with the opportunity to tailor your space to your lifestyle.

Finally, renovating your home can be a more sustainable option than building a new one. By reusing and repurposing existing materials, you can reduce waste and minimise your environmental impact.

In summary, while building a new home in Adelaide may seem like an attractive option, renovating your existing space can offer several benefits, including cost-effectiveness, the ability to maintain character, customisation, and sustainability. If you’re considering renovating your home, Alluring Kitchens can help you design and build a space that meets your unique needs and style.

After numerous visits to kitchen makers I ended up attending Alluring Kitchens at Henley Beach. I first met with Jasmine with my plans for a kitchen make over. I then spoke to Steve, the owner and decided to go with them for my kitchen. Jasmin was exceptional and professional and soon had my plans costed and ready to order. I met Steve the owner and Daniel one of his staff. The pricing was good and as I required the installation quickly and I was assisted in every way and the makeover was installed in about 2 weeks. The installers were very professional and left the kitchen area totally clean upon completion. I would like to thank and recommend Steve, Jasmin and the staff at Alluring Kitchens for anyone looking for a new kitchen or makeover. The whole process was made easy from start to completion. I always like to support local businesses but anyone in the state looking for a kitchen please call Steve and his friendly and professional staff and you will be totally satisfied. A great team and business. SUPPORT THEM

Steve came up with the solution as to where my dishwasher could be installed & quickly measured up for the kitchen alterations & prepared the quote which I promptly accepted. Whilst waiting for the delivery of the dishwasher, Washington made all of the new cupboards & drawers & did a first class job. Upon delivery of the dishwasher, Washington then came & installed all of the new cabinetry & positioned the dishwasher for connection. It was all done in less than a day. The following morning, before 8am, the Electrician arrived & connected the dishwasher in about half an hour. Shortly after, the plumber arrived & did his connection in about the same amount of time. Overall it was a seamless, very efficient process & I would highly recommend Alluring Kitchens for their expertise & professionalism.

What a fantastic experience from beginning to end!!! All we wanted was to remove our existing raised breakfast bar, laminate bench top to make way for our stone top and altering cupboards to fit our new stove. Big kitchen companies tried to convince us that it is better to put a whole new kitchen in than to do a modification (you do not throw out a beautiful cream 2pac kitchen). One smaller company was prepared to do what we wanted but they said we would have to remove two cupboards that sat on our benchtop and then replace them again at a cost. On top of all of that, they said we would have to replace all the tiles as there probably be some damage occurring. Still not satisfied and after a google search, we found Steve on the internet. Steve took the time to listen to what we wanted and then came to see our kitchen at no call out fee. He re-assured us that they would take care in removing the bench tops without removing cupboards or damaging tiles. He said we would be without a kitchen for 2 weeks only and that is exactly what we got ( oh .. and not a single broken tile and didn't even remove the cupboards....amazing!) Steve, we would love to thank you and your wonderful team of trades from the kitchen installers, to the stonemason. His craftmanship was beyond exceptional and the Caesarstone looks brilliant. They all took the utmost care when in our kitchen and cleaned up when finished. Cost wise, Steve came in as very cost effective. Steve was wonderful to work with from the beginning to the end and delivered on what he promised at a very high standard. We would highly recommend Alluring Kitchens for a remodel as they listen , they care and they deliver! Thank you again. October 2023: A year later and we got our bar area in our kitchen designed and installed by Alluring Kitchens. Again, it has been a pleasure to work with such a professional company. Congratulations to Steve and his fantastic team!

How to start and where to begin... Firstly, I think Alluring Kitchens deserve a 10 stars out of 5. Yes, that's exactly how amazing they are. If you read the reviews carefully, you will know that everyone who actually worked or has been working with them gives 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 It's a daunting task to renovate, especially with the kitchen and wet area. Steve and his team made everything so easy and doable. At the same time, it is very practical and helpful. The first time we contacted Steve, he is so friendly, kind, and accommodating. In comparing other people, we've been contacted (a dozen kitchen reno places), they either choose "bigger job" with bigger budget, or, "too busy" that not able to follow up with us. Steve is genuinely interested in assisting us to achieve what we want. For example, we came up with an idea to do a two-tone kitchen, Steve and his team are excited and helping us to finalise the concept into a product. Their "always achievable" attitude is so inspiring. They are honest, trustworthy, positive, and professional. Along the whole process, from quotation, material selection, renovation, and after completion, Steve and his team are absolutely fantastic and responsible. We have no word to describe how amazing and wonderful they are. Keep it short and simple, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. we love our kitchen and laundry very much. If you want a trouble-free renovation, we highly recommend Alluring Kitchens.

When we first starting looking at upgrading our kitchen the companies we first approached looked at replacing the kitchen on a like for like layout. We then contacted Alluring Kitchens were very impressed with Steve when he first visited our home as took his time and listened to what we thought and then he suggested a totally new redesign which would make the layout more workable and opened up the entire area. To Steve, team and the contractors involved we would love to thank you. They all took the utmost care while working in our home and cleaned up every day before leaving. They were also very professional and approachable. We are very happy with the final outcome.
