Set upon an allotment of approx. 880m2 lies this 1925 bungalow with an approx. 18.29m frontage.

If you have been searching for the ideal location in one of Adelaide's most picturesque and prominent suburbs, then this is it. Positioned approx. 11 minutes drive from Adelaide's CBD on one of the most picturesque tree lined streets known to man is this renovators delight. Make no mistake, this home encompasses the old saying "buy the worst house in the best street".

This home is in need of much tender love and care with all the hallmarks of yesteryear still prominent and in need of attention. Simply renovate or detonate (STCC) and reap the rewards. This home and street are simply irresistible and is surrounded by million-dollar homes. Medindie Gardens is only 3 streets wide hence the value is only set to rise because of its prominent positioning.

Perched behind a high fence lavished with an abundance of ivy covering its facade, giving way to this chapter of a gone by era. A wide concrete driveway runs the entire length of the property leading to a large brick garage and double carport nestled at the rear.

Upon entry, you are greeted by a wide hallway lavished with the elegance of a time forgotten when attention to detail was paramount. The extra wide hallway boasts high ceilings that flow throughout, decorative ceilings, high skirtings and is in an "L" shaped configuration.

The master bedroom also features a parents retreat and also features old fashioned built-in cupboards. Bedroom 2 is also large in nature and boasts timber flooring that again would continue throughout the original home plus built-ins enhanced by timeless wallpaper. The 3rd bedroom again is sizeable plus built-ins and a skylight. This also has an opening that leads to the enclosed front verandah that was utilized as the 4th bedroom and at one section in its life it was the waiting room for a doctors surgery.

The large front lounge also boasts decorative ceiling with 2 ornate sash windows allowing ample light to filter to all facets of the living area. An open fireplace is a welcomed addition.

The gas kitchen and bathroom are at the heart of this bungalow but would definitely need a makeover, but both are sizeable in design and with some imagination and planning could transform this area. Put your engineer to use and design the perfect open plan living quarters that would transform this bungalow into the sought after living area buyers expect today in this modern lifestyle.

The dine is adjacent the kitchen plus a family room and laundry, a 2nd toilet adorns the rear of the home with glass sliding door exiting to the rear garden.

The rear garden has massive walls creating a private and secure landscape for all. A large approx. 12x5m tiled swimming pool is the focal feature in the rear garden and is very deep but again it too would need to be brought up to code.

There are so many ways you could view this property as previously stated but either way this home would respond well if returned to its former glory with a modern twist. Bring your shovel & pail and roll up your sleeves to embark on this journey of a lifetime.

The worst house on the best street is alive and waiting your next move so to start your new life call Andy White today on 0413 949 493.
