Built in 1947 and held by the same hands since 1993, this solid sandstone bungalow is ready for someone with the vision to bring it into its next chapter.
Behind the arched sandstone porch is a floorplan that renovators know well and pay a premium for once it is done. Two large front rooms sit either side of the entry, both with fireplaces, both catching good light through wide front windows. One is carpeted and currently used as a lounge, the other opens through to the rear of the home on a sliding door. Pull up the carpet and there is a fair chance you find the same pine boards already polished and on show in the rear bedroom, where afternoon sun runs across the floor.
The kitchen is original. Cream cabinetry, pink laminate a freestanding gas cooker and a window over the sink looking into the yard. It works, and it will keep working while you plan. The laundry and bathroom sit at the rear in the traditional arrangement, tiled to waist height, with the toilet separate.
The land is where the real value sits. 644m2 with a 15.24 metre frontage, and a backyard that is genuinely usable rather than a strip behind a fence. Lawn, a Hills hoist, raised garden beds, established trees for shade, and a long concrete drive running the full depth of the block to a brick garage and workshop. Room for a trailer, a boat, a project car, or all three. Room, too, for whatever comes after the renovation.
Black Forest Primary is 800 metres away and the property sits in the Plympton International College zone. Cross Road and South Road put the city 6.5km one way and the coast twenty minutes the other, with Castle Plaza and Kurralta Park close for the everyday shop.
This is not a home you move into and change nothing. It is a chance to buy sandstone on a wide block in Glandore, where three bedroom houses have been selling at a median around $1.22 million, and put your own money and taste into it rather than someone else's. Bring a builder, bring a plan, and bring some vision.
