Nestled behind a big shady tree on a super-sized 842 sqm (approx.) allotment, barely a 10-minute meander down the street to a leafy reserve bordering the Torrens River/Linear Park, 53 River Drive is a 4-bedroom home tailored to larger families, offering formal and casual social zones, a modern kitchen, and the option to value-add down the track.
Built in the late '80s, the property bears many of the era's finest features including stunning slate flooring, big glass-panelled picture windows across its dark brick façade, and crazy paving on the double driveway and a lovely big rear verandah. It's also undergone renovations, now boasting ducted AC throughout, an elegant master ensuite, and a swish kitchen with a full suite of stainless appliances, stone benchtops and reams of white cabinetry.
The culinary hub is the heart of this home, overlooking a slate floored combined family room/casual meals area and extending into a carpeted dining room that steps down into a large, light-filled lounge. On the accommodation front, the spacious master has bay window views to the front garden as well as a WIR and full-height tiled ensuite. There's a second bedroom beside it that could also work as an office, and a private sleeping wing off the family room with 2 beds, a bathroom and the laundry.
If you wanted, you could explore options to refit or even remodel the family bathroom and laundry (subject to planning consent). Both offer ample real estate to play with, the bathroom currently set-up with an open vanity outside a washing room (corner spa bath and shower), and a private WC. Likewise, the landscaping would flourish with a little extra love; there's already established plantings front and back, and regular watering would bring the expansive lawns back to their lush best.
So close to Linear Park, and equally well-serviced by everyday essential services like shopping hubs, quality schooling, and public transport, investing in this pretty pocket of Adelaide would be a smart move and the beginning of a memorable new chapter in your family's story.
