Nestled in the heart of Athol Park, this much-loved family home presents an exciting opportunity for renovators, investors, or those looking to create their dream residence (STPC). Built in 1959 and held by the same family since before its construction, this charming property retains much of its original character, offering a rare chance to restore, extend, or start fresh with a brand-new vision.
Set on a generous 810sqm (approx.) allotment, the possibilities here are endless. Whether you choose to renovate and extend, subdivide, or build your dream home from the ground up, this expansive block provides the flexibility to suit your plans (STPC).
Inside, the home features a spacious eat-in kitchen, waiting for a modern makeover to bring it to life. A separate lounge room with original built-in cabinetry adds to the home's nostalgic charm, while three generously sized bedrooms offer a solid foundation for a stylish transformation.
Stepping outside, the back verandah overlooks a beautifully maintained garden, where established trees, lush lawns, and vibrant shrubs create a tranquil setting year-round. Once home to thriving veggie gardens and fruit trees, the space is perfect for anyone looking to cultivate their own produce.
For those who love to tinker or need extra storage, two large sheds/workshops provide ample space for hobbies, tools, or a home workshop setup. A single-car garage with remote-controlled access adds further convenience.
Positioned between the city and the sea, Athol Park offers easy access to both the Adelaide CBD and Semaphore Beach, ensuring the perfect balance between urban convenience and coastal relaxation.
Athol Park was part of the Westwood Urban Renewal Project, a transformation that has revitalised the area, enhancing lifestyle and community appeal. A new renewal project on Hanson Road, Woodville Place, is now underway, further cementing Athol Park as a desirable and evolving neighbourhood.
Families will appreciate the proximity to quality schools, including Woodville High School, one of South Australia's renowned Special Interest Music Centres. Younger children can walk to Woodville Gardens Primary School, while excellent public transport options, just a minute's walk away, make commuting effortless.
A short stroll to Fawk Reserve offers access to sports facilities, a playground, a community garden, and local gathering spaces, perfect for picnics and outdoor activities. Meanwhile, Arndale Shopping Centre is just minutes away for all your retail needs.
