Offered to the market for the first time in 90 years and held by the same family for generations, 20 Da Costa Avenue presents a rare opportunity to shape the next chapter of a much-loved character home.
Rich in period detail and ready for a considered transformation, the property occupies a corner allotment of approximately 502 sqm in Prospect. It offers several possible paths: renovate within the existing footprint, retain the character shell and extend, or explore redevelopment for a new residence—all subject to the necessary consents.
Inside, a central hallway introduces generous proportions and ceilings reaching approximately 3.2 metres. Ornate ceiling details, decorative cornices and original timber floorboards provide an evocative foundation for restoration. Four bedrooms offer flexibility for family accommodation or a reimagined floorplan.
Capturing the character of another era, the existing kitchen features a freestanding stove and timber cabinetry, ready for transformation. Throughout, the interiors would benefit from thoughtful updating, creating scope to preserve meaningful period details while introducing contemporary comfort, functionality and style.
To the rear, expansive windows frame the established garden, offering an inviting backdrop for a considered extension, while the corner allotment opens further possibilities for a thoughtful redesign.
Surrounded by character residences—many thoughtfully extended to create some of Prospect's finest homes—the property sits within a streetscape that demonstrates how period architecture and contemporary living can work beautifully together.
The location adds another layer of appeal, with Prospect Road's vibrant lifestyle precinct nearby. Enjoy convenient access to Schinella's Your Local Market, dining, cafés, shopping, cultural attractions and cinemas. Northpark Shopping Centre, Sefton Plaza and the Adelaide CBD are also within close reach.
After generations with one family, this is a project for those prepared to think boldly-whether rejuvenating the existing residence, combining old and new, or pursuing an entirely fresh architectural vision.
