168 Ridley Road, Elizabeth Grove SA 5112

With acres of open space across the road used by golfers to refine their game and set merely metres away from the local tennis club and Adelaide United's training ground, this home overlooks the North's premier sporting corridor that extends from Elizabeth Oval to your own front door and beyond making this a very special location and one sports fans will highly covet.

This home poses as a remarkable alternative for first home buyers and investors who have almost given up on buying a house and have surrendered to spending their weekends walking through semi detached homes and units but who really want to not endure a high density lifestyle.

Here you have the best of both worlds. A classic circa 1960's residence but without the hard to manage backyard.

Having been subdivided many years ago, this house remains as it has stood for nearly 6 decades, whilst the back yard was redeveloped to accommodate a more modern residence leaving this home with an uninterrupted view of acres of manicured lawn area yet with a lovely easy to maintain undercover private courtyard at the rear.

This means that first home buyers will not be competing with investors to make this a home of their own and can enjoy the wonderful lifestyle this property now provides.

Inside, original elements meld with contemporary touches to establish a timeless decor you are sure to adore.

The north facing apertures ensure an abundance of natural light all year round whilst roller shutters protect you from the worst of the elements whilst insulating you and keeping you ensconced from the noise outside, encouraging a restful sleep without disturbances from the outside world.

Lovely neutral tones meld with the warmth and texture of the polished timber floors to create a homely feeling that is immediately endearing and instantly attractive.

The high cellings are a feature of post war era construction and creates a sense of size that belies the tape measure and emphasising the sense of space that is encouraged by the expansive views afforded by every north facing window of the acres of open space adjacent.

The renovated bathroom is a pleasant surprise and looks great now and is sure to for many years to come whilst the kitchen is resplendent in modern style to make you smile, stainless wall oven and halogen cooktops making it a place you will enjoy sharing with those you love the most.

The rear veranda is extensive and spans the full southern elevation linking with the carport to create a huge linear under cover space that can easily accommodate two cars under cover whilst also offering an extensive outdoor entertaining area. This rear courtyard is private, secure and a great space to relax and enjoy on the weekend whilst a lawned yard to the side of the home offers a place for pets to play and small kids to kick balls.

But, with acres of lawn across the road, there is always room for older kids to play under your watchful eye.

For sports lovers, this location is simply without peer with golf, cricket, softball, baseball, football, soccer and tennis almost at your doorstep making this a uniquely disposed residence.

Live in, rent out. Nest or invest. Maybe live in now and rent out later? The choice is yours. This home has served our vendor well as a stepping stone into the property market. A wonderful first home in a lovely location and then as a solid investment property netting generous returns but the time has come to pass on the baton.

**PRICING**
For the most part of the last 26 years I have been releasing properties to the market without a price. I do so just for the first open inspection and then we set a price with the Vendor/s in consideration of the feedback derived from the first open. I understand that may frustrate some buyers but the frustration will be rewarded with a price range set that is an accurate reflection of market value balanced by the Vendor/s expectation. It is also frustrating for a vendor to be on the market for weeks longer than necessary because they have over priced their property. Or if they choose to price the home in excess of feedback levels they can do so knowingly and factor that into their timeframe. I will release a price by way of SMS to all buyers who attend the first open and upload a price as soon as practicably thereafter. Thank you and should you have any further questions about my rationale in marketing properties successful in this manner for over 1600 sales please feel free to call me directly anytime.
