Stucco-coated, steeped in charm, and backed by South Brighton's lifestyle credentials, this flexible 1950s home - held by just three owners over its 80-year lifespan - has an exciting future pending.
For the investor, there's scope to land bank its 806m2 block in a coveted coastal pocket, lease the home long-term, and launch your next move later.
For the project owner or developer, the equation is simple: a sweeping 20.7m frontage, prized Brighton Secondary School zoning, and an envied beach side of Brighton Road position - in a suburb where new homes usually command all the attention.
This one is bound to jump the queue.
You'll sense the home's vintage vibe from the doorbell. Inside, it's the leading lounge room with a feature gas fireplace, while the 1990s additions bring natural light and/or dual garden aspects.
The functional kitchen promises no one is confined to the sink. Its open plan flow, with an island cooktop and stainless wall oven, overlooks the family room and skirts the dedicated dining room.
To the rear, the family room brings personality with a retro bar and built-in wine storage, all overlooking the immaculate backyard. Step outside and the all-weather patio becomes the all-in entertainer, framed by a tranquil pond and brick BBQ. Beyond the lawn, a powered workshop adds a nostalgic nod to the home's 1950s roots.
Facing the lush front garden for a spa soak is the latest update: the sparkling bathroom. Meanwhile, the two-bedroom wing features a study/studio with separate carport access, ideal as a work from home office base.
It's like following the rainbow for a pot of gold. Beyond Devon, is a short walk to Brighton Road buses, the citybound train, a rich village hub of amenity, proximity to Westfield Marion, Flinders University, and a blushing Brighton beach sunset.
Demolish, re-design, or hold and plan - Devon's future is golden.
