While you might be tempted to move straight on into 5 Hank Street and start enjoying its excellent proximity to Linear Park, the true potential of this stone-clad home lies in a renovation of its mostly original interior and possibly even a rear extension (STCC) to better capitalise on a substantial 780 sqm (approx.) block in one of Adelaide's most popular westside suburbs.
As is, there's 150 sqm of living space on offer - the main house sporting solar panels and comprising 3 bedrooms, adjoining lounge and dining rooms, a kitchen/meals hub, bathroom (shower and tub), and a laundry. The kitchen/bathroom décor has a distinctly retro feel, but everything's functional, and character features include recessed ceilings, ornate plasterwork, etched glass, and timber architraves.
Out back, a 10m-long verandah has an additional WC and shower at one end, extending onto another verandah that frames a combined second living area and shed space, tiled and with high ceilings. The living section has a kitchenette, making it a top space for older kids to hang out independently.
Landscaping-wise, the front yard is lawned with gardens and a fountain, the back largely underutilised, although plotted for fruit/veggie crops. You could focus solely on upgrading the kitchen and bathroom in the main house, along with replacing flooring and lighting, or explore a redesign/rear extension that perhaps adds an extra bathroom and elevates alfresco entertaining facilities (STCC).
Whatever you do, you're set for success in this sweet location - strolling distance to scenic Linear Park trails and city/sea-bound buses running along Henley Beach Road, and a super-cruisy drive to a handful of vibrant shopping hubs, Kooyonga Golf Club, and Adelaide Airport.
