Set on an impressive 2,074m² allotment in a quiet, family-friendly pocket of a growing regional hub, 7 McAuley Street, Port Augusta is a standout opportunity that ticks the boxes for investors and owner-occupiers alike.
This solid brick home offers a highly versatile layout with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 kitchens, making it ideal for shared living or dual-occupancy style arrangements. Its proximity to the Port Augusta Hospital positions it perfectly to attract reliable, long-term tenants such as health professionals, a prolific rental demographic in the region (now more than ever with the addition of the new RFDS Health, Research and Education Centre).
The home is cleverly divided into two distinct living zones. The main residence features a spacious, light-filled formal lounge room, finished with the comfort of carpet and kept cool through the warmer months with a wall-mounted air conditioner. The generously sized kitchen is bright, functional and features easy-to-maintain lino flooring, its own wall-mounted air conditioner, and is thoughtfully positioned separate from the rest of the home, giving the chef of the house a sanctuary to cook and bake while keeping any mess out of sight. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, where lino flooring continues and double doors open to outside, creating an ideal setting for entertaining.
The bathroom is roomy and well appointed, offering a separate bath and shower, while the toilet is separate, a must-have for busy households. All three bedrooms in the main house are of good size and carpeted, with one featuring its own wall-mounted air conditioner and another fitted with built-in cupboards. Additional built-in storage in the passage provides practical space to keep household equipment neatly out of sight. A good-sized laundry, adjoining the kitchen, keeps all the work areas in one zone and provides direct access to the backyard.
The second living area is a true bonus. Separated from the main house by a wall and accessed via the secure carport, this space feels like its own private retreat. It is light-filled and features a renovated open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with modern finishes and appliances, easy-to-maintain lino flooring, and a wall-mounted air conditioner. The bedroom is well sized yet cosy, complete with recently laid carpet and fresh paint, and is serviced by its own bathroom, with shower, toilet and basin, making it perfect for visitors, house sharing, or maximising rental return.
Outside, the property continues to impress. The backyard is packed with entertaining potential, featuring a large undercover and paved area attached to the house, as well as plenty of additional open space for further improvements or landscaping (subject to council consent). Two small sheds provide secure storage for outdoor equipment, while the front yard is also generous in size. The entire allotment is fully fenced, adding to both privacy and security.
The lifestyle on offer is equally compelling, with a beach just around the corner, as well as a scenic walking trail leading all the way into the heart of the CBD.
Alternatively, for those with vision, the solid construction, spacious interior, generous land size and excellent location make this property a dream home renovation opportunity. With strong bones and an already commanding street presence, it wouldn't take much to transform this home into a true head-turner.
Versatile, well-located and full of potential 7 McAuley Street is an opportunity not to be missed!
