Time may have wearied this c1900 return verandah villa, but that's purely fuel for the project-minded to breath new life into its basic bones and lucrative landholding deep in the leafy and envied east…
In one family's hands for decades, little has changed for the 3-bedroom home with generous room sizes, retro decor, and soaring ceilings – we daresay its latest addition is the vast undercover rear verandah – yet there are a few salvageable items, such as its decorative fireplaces, leadlight, and vintage kitchen stove.
Unfamiliar with Evandale? Skirting Stepney and St. Peters, it's a few strides to the Payneham Road bus, a mere 4kms from the CBD, in line for Prince Alfred and St. Peters Colleges, a clutch of premier private schools, The Avenues Shopping Centre, and cosmopolitan Norwood Parade.
For now, the roller shutters and blinds are drawn, but its prospects can only look up.
Who wouldn't want to give the go-ahead to a villa like this?
