Jessica Earle and Ray White St Peters are proud to present this substantial stone fronted home at 178 Torrens Road. Sitting on an impressive 735sqm allotment with a wide 15m frontage, this 1945 character build offers a solid foundation for families and investors alike. It is rare to find such a significant land holding so close to the CBD, providing immediate comfort with considerable long-term potential for those looking to landbank or explore future possibilities.
The home has been beautifully updated throughout, featuring a clean neutral colour palette and hard flooring that makes for low-maintenance living. Original character elements are balanced by modern improvements, including a refreshed kitchen equipped with gas cooking and plenty of storage. The main living area provides a comfortable space to unwind, fitted with a classic fireplace and a split system air conditioner to ensure year round comfort.
One of the standout features of this property is the massive 38sqm external retreat. Fully air conditioned and tiled, this versatile space works perfectly as a games room, home office, or a teenage escape separate from the main residence. Outside, the large backyard is perfect for families, with an expansive lawn area, established lemon and fruit trees, and a verandah that provides a shaded spot for outdoor dining and entertaining.
