Occupying a super-sized allotment of 902sqm (approx.) in leafy Evandale's tranquil surrounds, 7 Edward Street is residential property royalty - a c1900 double-brick villa brimming with character features and offering scope to value-add by extending into what is a largely vacant backyard, crying out for a dreamy outdoor entertaining hub (STCC).
Perfectly positioned on the block, the street setback substantial and a single gravelled driveway running down the side, the villa has already undergone extensive refurbishments. Its sandstone-façade is stunning, and the front porch is neatly trimmed with white-washed timber; inside, behind a stained-glass entry and where ceilings soar to 3m, the front half has been tastefully painted and split-system AC units, as well as fans, added.
The layout is classic, with the central passage branching into 4 rooms, each with an ornamental open fireplace. A spectacularly large lounge (just shy of 30 sqm) sits street-side, with the dining room flowing into a modest but functional kitchen. Vinyl, timber-looking floors span the lounge and dining, while the 2 bedrooms opposite are currently carpeted. There's a third bedroom at the rear, across from a self-contained bathroom.
Covered verandahs run between the villa and a separate brick building, housing laundry facilities and a second WC. It's out here, under the shade and with your celebratory 'we have the keys' bubbles in hand, that you'll start planning the next chapter in this timeless home's story! The backyard is vast, level, and more than capable of accommodating a substantial extension (STCC); there could even be a pool down the track, and the existing big tree might work as a landscaping focal point.
What you can be assured of is that any investment made here will reap impressive future returns because living just 4 km from town in Adelaide's coveted east, where the best private schools, boutique dining/retail precincts (The Parade and Burnside Village), and parklands are on your doorstep, will never go out of fashion!
