A superb opportunity in one of Adelaide's most tightly held and high-demand pockets for investors, families and first-home buyers alike.
Set on a generous 743sqm allotment (approx), this solid 1962 double brick home combines refreshed interiors, light filled living and exceptional convenience just moments from Flinders University and Flinders Medical Centre. With strong rental appeal driven by proximity to major education and medical precincts, it offers outstanding long-term potential for investors while also serving as a comfortable and practical home for families or first-home buyers wanting room to grow.
Inside, the home has been freshly painted and updated with new floating floors and new carpet to all bedrooms. A welcoming front entrance hall leads to the bedroom wing, where the master includes built in robes, a ceiling fan and a peaceful front garden outlook. Bedroom two also features built in robes and rear garden views, while bedroom three offers versatility as a guest room, nursery or study. The main bathroom provides a modern vanity, glass shower, distinctive original pink bathtub and checkerboard terrazzo flooring, with a separate toilet located adjacent for everyday practicality.
The large front living room, positioned to capture natural light through its corner windows, includes a split system and ceiling fan for year round comfort. This space flows through to the open plan dining area, where modern downlights and a glass door framed by windows open directly to the rear garden. The adjoining kitchen also features downlights, a gas cooktop with extraction, double sink, puratap, overhead and under-bench cabinetry and a well-sized fridge cavity. A separate laundry with trough, built-in storage and external access completes the internal layout.
Outdoors, the home offers an appealing balance of shade, greenery and usable space. The paved and covered alfresco area includes lighting, power, taps and a TV point, and overlooks the lawn and freshly tidied rear gardens. Several flower beds add colour and charm, while the fully fenced rear yard comfortably caters for pets or young children. A large shed or workshop positioned at the rear provides significant storage or hobby space and is ideal for trades, tools or equipment.
Parking is another standout, with a long driveway offering off-street capacity for multiple vehicles and ample space for a caravan, trailer or boat.
The location is a genuine highlight. Walk to Flinders University and Flinders Medical Centre, enjoy quick access to public transport including buses and the nearby Tonsley rail connection, and convenient travel links to the CBD via Goodwood Road or the Southern Expressway. Westfield Marion is an eight-minute drive, Brighton Beach around ten minutes away, and McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Peninsula are easily reached for weekend escapes. Local reserves, schools and everyday shops round out the appeal.
Set on a sizeable allotment with a 17.98 metre frontage (approx), the property may also offer redevelopment potential in the future (STCC).
With its combination of location, land size, refreshed interiors and strong rental demand, this is an exceptional opportunity in a suburb that has seen significant value growth in recent years.
