Willow proudly presents 12 Somerfield Avenue, Reynella. This is a property bought for what it makes possible. A 1966 solid brick home under a terracotta-tiled roof sits on a 710 square metre allotment within the Housing Diversity Neighbourhood Zone, with potential to create three allotments (STCA). The home itself gives a renovator a sound starting point: original timber floorboards through the living areas and bedrooms, decorative cornices, high ceilings and a brick construction rated in very good condition on the valuation record. Whether the plan is to renovate and hold, retain the home and develop the rear, or clear the site for three new dwellings (STCA), the fundamentals are already in place. Renewal is visible in the surrounding streets, and holdings of this size in an established southern suburb are increasingly hard to secure.
The existing layout is simple, practical and easy to work with. A central hallway separates the lounge from three bedrooms, the bathroom and a separate WC, with the kitchen and dining area at the rear overlooking the back garden. The laundry opens directly onto a full-width rear verandah, and the single garage connects through to the yard. For a renovator, the floorplan offers a clear canvas to open the kitchen and dining to the garden, update the wet areas and restore the original floors. For a developer, the generous rear yard and wide footprint present a straightforward site to plan around.
