3 Francis Street, Balaklava SA 5461

Not politically correct but perfectly practical this post war beauty is ready for a facelift and is ready for the new owner to lavish love and attention upon it.

Have you been fantasising about escaping the suburbs? Perhaps you are downsizing of acreage and could never imagine going to too small of an allotment?

Well located a lazy stroll from the centre of Balaklava is this generous town block of 1658m2 boasting this 1950's built solid brick residence in very original condition and order.

With very little by way of major improvements over the years, this home has been well maintained retaining many of the original features.

The kitchen is so old that it's back in fashion again with a lovely patina the laminex benchtops have been dutifully preserved by successive occupants.

Originally 2 bedrooms a third was built on the back so creating an additional room that would suit a multitude of purposes.

Storage is assured thanks to the extensive garaging and undercover area with high clearance making this a perfectly practical improvement that will be of great value for many years to come.

Some fresh paint here and some new flooring there would transform this home. With an update in the bathroom and improvements to the amenities, you would have a home that will serve you well whether you a seeking to live in or rent out.

Demand for rental properties in the area is at a historical high thanks to an abundance of local work opportunities and a lack of local home building over recent years.

Still under an hour from the city, this location is proving popular with owner occupiers and investors alike thanks to it strategically straddling the Clare Valley and Yorke Peninsulas spheres of activity.

A chance to perhaps fix up and profit or move in and make a home of your own, this property offers options aplenty on a large allotment with plenty of potential.
