Set on a generous 757sqm (approx.) allotment in the ever-convenient suburb of South Plympton, this charming 1946-built home is bursting with potential. Whether you're a renovator looking to restore its original character, an investor seeking strong long-term growth, or someone ready to build your dream home (STCC), this property is a standout opportunity. With a solid foundation, a functional floorplan, and an expansive rear yard, this classic residence is ripe for transformation and packed with possibilities.
Stepping inside, you're welcomed by a wide entry hall that sets the tone for the home's spacious proportions. The formal lounge at the front of the home features decorative ceiling details, large picture windows, and a gas heater, making it a comfortable and light-filled space to relax. A separate dining room flows through to the retro-style kitchen and meals area, which remains in excellent condition and offers ample cabinetry and bench space-perfectly functional while also offering scope for a modern renovation.
The home consists of three well-sized bedrooms, all with tall ceilings, large windows, and two include built-in robes for convenience. All have easy access to the centrally located bathroom, which features a separate bath and shower and retains its mid-century charm. A handy room off the rear hallway adds flexibility as a home office or study nook. The separate laundry and toilet are positioned for convenience and complete the interior layout.
Step outside and discover what truly sets this property apart. The deep backyard is lined with mature trees and flowering plants, offering a peaceful and private retreat. There's a full-length rear verandah providing covered outdoor space, a spacious paved entertaining area, two garden sheds for storage, and space for a built-in BBQ area ready for summer gatherings. The long driveway leads to a lock-up garage under the main roof, while the wide frontage and ample off-street parking make this home practical for family living.
Located in a highly desirable and family-friendly pocket, 148 Raglan Avenue offers fantastic access to a host of lifestyle amenities. You'll find Castle Plaza and Kurralta Central just minutes away for all your shopping needs, while the stunning beaches of Glenelg and the cafes of Jetty Road are just a short drive. Families will appreciate nearby schooling options including Forbes Primary, Plympton International College, and Emmaus Christian College.
