Sited on a 800m2 corner allotment with a combined street frontage of over 50m, this classic solid brick, sandstone fronted home is located only 6km from the Adelaide CBD and within easy reach of schools, shopping, public transport and recreational reserves.
Constructed in 1955 by the current family owners, the home is in original condition and now ready to move toward its next evolutionary phase. Developers and Investors are going to love this unique corner location and rectangular allotment with a slightly elevated aspect, the perfect starting point for an urban renewal project (STCC), while keen renovators may want to patch up the cracks, plan an addition and redo the landscaping.
The home offers 6 main rooms in a unique open plan design, so very rare for the era. Scattered art deco features appear throughout including remnants of the original kitchen, bathroom and laundry. 3 double size bedrooms and a study offer spacious personal zones with bedrooms 1 & 2 both providing built-in robes.
A central family room has the kitchen overlooking, original cabinetry and wall paper offer a glimpse of life in the 1960's. Axminster carpet from the era combines with frosted glass doors, art deco cornices, visually startling wall paper and ceiling roses in an authentic interior design.
Dual driveways provide an indication of just how wide the street frontage is, perfect for redevelopment of two or more new homes (STCC). A garage, carport, sleep-out, storage areas, rainwater tank, wrap around verandah and generous garden areas complete a desirable offering where the value of the land will ultimately dictate the price.
