Last Listing description (June 2021)
This is a home that offers so much, but also gives you numerous options. It's certainly seen better days, but it doesn't take much imagination to see what could be. Call in the architects, consult with your builder, or strap on your tool belt and take matters into your own hands, this is a truly once in a lifetime opportunity to renovate from close to bare bones and be the artist that brings this home into the 21st century.
Owned in the one family for close to 50 years, this original solid brick and stone bungalow, set on a generous corner allotment of approximately 730m2 provides an outstanding opportunity for you to create the home you've always dreamed of.
Situated less than 6kms from the Adelaide CBD and less than 15 minutes from Adelaide's gorgeous beaches, with public transport options at your fingertips, including the tram, train and buses, you can see why Black Forest is a sensational location. When you can stroll just 50 metres to catch the train and arrive at the Southern end of Adelaide Oval, why would you live anywhere else?
At over 700sqm, parcels of land of this size, particularly in this enviable location, are becoming rarer and rarer to come by, especially where you can still walk to catch the tram to your favourite pub at the Goody, race days at Morphetville or lazy Sunday afternoons at Glenelg. As we're all discovering land and houses are simply harder to come by and an opportunity like this might only come around once every half century, so don't miss out.
Built in the 20's, featuring the genuine stone exteriors that so many modern builds try to emulate today, with multiple fire places, timber floors, feature ceilings, and other classic features throughout, including high skirtings, sash windows and timber hallway fretwork; this home has so many redeeming features to help drive those renovation plans.
Inside you'll find three bedrooms and an eat in kitchen, as well as a large living room situated at the front of the home, attached to a separate sunroom. There's also a separate bathroom with handy extra toilet attached to the laundry.
The expansive yard around the home also features a spacious workshop, with handy racking providing storage for all of your renovation materials, as well as space inside to store your tools and get cracking on building those custom features to return this bungalow to her former grandeur. If you still have an itch for classic restoration once you're finished on the house, the mechanic's pit allows you to spin spanners on that HQ Monaro or 55 Chevy you've always wanted.
Immerse yourself in the neighbourhood, stroll to Goodwood Saints Oval, Princess Margaret Playground or enjoy your morning coffee at Sublime Caf and Patio Coffee Roasters. With outstanding education options in Clarence Park Community Kindergarten, Black Forest Primary School, Cabra Dominican College and Tabor Christian College all close by, the kids can stay active with walking distance options available for pre-school, all the way through to tertiary education.
What a privilege it is to bring this family home to market. In one family for almost 50 years it's time for its next chapter: your chapter. We can't wait to show you through and please call Simon Tanner with any questions: 0402 29 27 25
