Corner 558m2 Leafy Allotment | Est. 1950s | Loved for 50+ years
(Buyers Note - Adjoining Home for Sale also -see notes below)
Some houses are built. This one was raised - by the same family, for over half a century, one clever addition and one loving fix-up at a time. You can feel it the moment you step onto the timber decking: this isn't a renovator's blank canvas. It's a home with a personality, built by people who actually lived in it, tinkered with it, and never stopped improving it.
If you've been searching for character that can't be manufactured - the kind that only comes from decades of Sunday projects and family dinners - Welcome Home!!
The Bones (And the Quirks)
• Flexible up to 4 bedrooms - bedrooms 1 and 2 both come with built-in robes, bedroom 3 is currently a study but would make a gorgeous kids' room or nursery, and the current utility room can easily become bedroom 4 with a simple partition wall
• Two living areas - one for movie nights and telly, the other a sun-drenched spot made for morning coffee and a good book
• Striking timber features and accents throughout - the kind of craftsmanship you don't get from a display home
• Eclectic, retro kitchen - genuine era charm, not a reproduction - with green laminate benchtops, timber-lined ceilings, a gas cooker, and a bonus fridge thrown in, because why would you take it with you when it belongs here?
• Dining room with built-in buffet and bench seat - proper old-school joinery, made to last
• Split system air conditioning plus a wood combustion heater for the nights you want to be properly toasty
• Timber decking front and rear - front for your morning coffee, rear for watching the garden do its thing
• Solar system installed to help keep those energy bills in check
• Shed storage galore, plus a bonus chicken coop for the feathered members of the family
Room to Breathe
Set on a leafy 558m² corner block, the outlook is all native trees and greenery - that classic, established Magill feel that new estates or homes simply can't fake.
The Twist: Two Homes, One Extraordinary Opportunity
Here's what makes this one genuinely rare. Next door, fronting Eton Avenue, sits a purpose-built 3-bedroom courtyard home, subdivided and constructed in 2012 for family to live close by. Both properties sit on separate Torrens title allotments and can be sold together or separately.
For multi-generational families, this is close to unicorn territory: your own home, your parents or adult kids just metres away, everyone with their own front door and their own space - no compromise required.
Location
Tucked into one of the eastern suburbs' most sought-after pockets, you're close to a choice of quality schools, the Magill campus of the University of South Australia, and Daly Street Oval - perfect for running the dogs before settling in for a coffee and a catch-up with the locals.
