We love a property with potential and this substantial 715sqm (approx.) block, home to a semi-updated 4-bedroom dwelling and extensive shed storage, is bursting with avenues to capitalise on a top location close to vibrant Port Adelaide and only a short drive to Semaphore's beaches.
Built in 1940, the house blends a sprinkle of yesteryear charm with contemporary comfort. Within the current air-conditioned layout, original timber flooring provides a warm contrast against white-washed walls in a combined kitchen/living/meals area with a fancy combustion heater, and all the beds. Elsewhere, there's a light-filled sunroom overlooking the front garden, a multi-purpose room that could function as a study or WIP, and a full bathroom plus a combined laundry/second bathroom.
If you want to add value (subject to planning consent), remodelling the kitchen and bathrooms, both functional but underutilised areas right now, would be logical starting points. Recessed off the skylit dining area, the kitchen is a large space that would look amazing simply with new cabinetry and appliances. With a little smart design thinking, the bathrooms could be reconfigured to better leverage the available real estate.
From the lounge, a slider extends onto a huge covered alfresco entertaining pergola with leafy vines winding up its support beams and views over a lawned yard. Along the back fence runs an 84sqm (approx.) interconnected network of sheds and storage, one room renovated with split-system AC and well on its way to being a studio/teen retreat.
The good news here is you can secure this sweetie and move straight in yourself or rent out for a healthy return. Bigger dreamers will see the untapped potential of this winning location walking distance to city-bound buses, plus popular school zoning and Port Adelaide's dynamic shopping and dining scene at your doorstep!
