Sitting proudly behind its tidy fence line on a generous 774sqm (approx.) allotment, this double-brick original has stood the test of time - and now hands the keys to someone ready to decide what comes next. Built c.1930, this solar-powered home works just as well for the nostalgic purist as it does for the visionary.
You could polish the details and savour its character. You could extend and modernise to meet the moment. Or you could take advantage of that enviably wide frontage and start from scratch - perhaps even twice over (STPC).
Inside, the bones are brilliant. A wide hallway anchors three large bedrooms and dual living zones that still feel warm and alive. The lounge wraps you in timber and texture; the kitchen brings back tiled splashbacks, gas cooking and honest simplicity. It’s retro, but real.
Out the back, a huge undercover entertaining area stretches wide for barbecues, family nights and garden hangs. The yard runs deep, dotted with fruit trees and backed by a powered workshop, garage and carport - ideal for the hobbyist, the collector or the planner.
And that land - flat, wide and ready for reinvention. In an evolving pocket just minutes from the city, Queen Street, Plant 4 Bowden and every café worth knowing, West Croydon’s next chapter is already being written. This block just happens to be the headline.
Whichever path you choose, you’ll be building on solid foundations in one of Adelaide’s most rapidly emerging inner-west pockets.
