Take a drone's-eye look at this property and be captivated by its enviable location, and inspired by its potential.
Directly opposite the front garden is a vast expanse of green - a woodland of mature trees enclosing a reserve perfect for a kick of footy or walking the dog. And just down the street is another spacious reserve, with playgrounds for the kids.
Apart from the advantages bestowed by Mother Nature, the property is within easy reach of shops, supermarkets and other amenities, and has Flinders University and Flinders Medical Centre on its doorstep. Multiple early-learning centres and primary and secondary schools are within easy reach. No wonder this area is growing in popularity and being rejuvenated block by block.
Situated on a tree-studded allotment of approximately 720 square metres with a frontage of almost 18 metres, the home dates from the early to mid-1960s, with a style typical of the era - cream brick and tiled-roof exterior, with lots of bare brick, exposed beams and stained timber inside.
More than half a century after construction, some scars of time are showing, with cracking in most rooms, although a liberal dose of TLC by a renovator who loves a challenge could work wonders. Alternatively, and subject to council consent in each case, you could either start from scratch and build your dream home, or subdivide for an alluring redevelopment opportunity.
In either case, the superb location provides the ideal starting point.
For the renovator, it's clear this home basks in decades of happy memories; of gatherings in the double living areas, with the timber-panelled family room/retreat, added in the 1970s, continuing the mid-century theme.
The original living area is to the left as you enter the house, and opens to the dining area and kitchen, a prime example of its vintage, with solid timber cabinets complementing the electric stove and wall oven, plus dishwasher.
Two bedrooms at the front - one with built-in robes - share a bathroom with full-size tub and shower, and cute blush-pink wall tiles. There's a second toilet adjoining the good-sized laundry.
Stained timber features prominently in the study, and in the exposed beams of the second, spacious living area beyond, as well as in the small third bedroom at the rear. The living area features exposed cream-brick walls, and natural light streams in through a high glass-brick window and skylight, as well as through the sliding glass door to the slate-paved patio and back garden.
A wall-mounted air-conditioner and space heater ensure year-round comfort, and there's another similar heater in the front kitchen/dining area.
The large rear garden is well established with trees, shrubs and lawn, and there's lots of scope for green fingers to get creative with a veggie patch and flower beds. Installing an in-ground pool is another enticing option.
