Set on the thriving southern fringe of Adelaide's blue-ribbon corridor, this near-original character home is ready for its next exciting chapter. Perfectly positioned as Melrose Park continues its rapid rise, this charming property rubs shoulders with the elite leafy borders of Colonel Light Gardens and Cumberland Park - delivering the perfect canvas for dreamers, doers, and renovators chasing endless potential.
Resting on a generous 681sqm corner parcel with private access via Morgan Avenue, this Art Deco gem invites imagination at every turn. Inside, solid timber floors and a wide-set frontage tell a story of timeless craftsmanship, while the 3-bedroom layout flows from a formal lounge into a cosy kitchen and casual dining, perfectly poised for an open-plan transformation.
Step outside and you'll find the beginnings of backyard brilliance: lush lawns for kids and pets to play, a lined rumpus with AC ideal for a home office, studio, or teen retreat, and a sparkling swimming pool promising sun-soaked weekends of endless family fun.
Move in and enjoy the character charm as you plan your extension masterpiece, rent it out while you design your vision, or dive straight into a full-scale renovation (subject to planning consent) - the choice (and the reward) is yours. In a postcode where growth and gentrification are the names of the game, this is one of those rare opportunities where lifestyle, location, and limitless potential all align.
A heartbeat away from Edwardstown Primary and zoned for the highly reputable Unley High, as well as a bevy of private schools in all directions, plus local favourite foodie destinations dotted along Winston Avenue, Castle Plaza around the corner, Westfield Marion in a hot minute, and the never-ending stretch of soft sandy beaches an underrated 15-minutes door-to-door… don't let this treasure trove of convenience slip through your fingers.
