From the moment you arrive at Alfred Street, you can feel (but can't hear) the bubbling energy of Glen Osmond Road and the CBD; after all, Parkside is your exclusive ticket to both.
But the best ticket of all is the home at number 13. The one that can be anything and everything you imagined.
More than just a blank canvas, this much-loved 1960s solid brick home is a simple cosmetic makeover away from bursting back to life on its deceptively large 546 square metre block.
You already have a flexible floor plan with a combination of casual and formal living areas, two bathrooms, huge kitchen with solid timber cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, and a separate rear yard retreat with a kitchenette and third bedroom.
But you can have so much more from the moment you let the pristine pine floors come out from underneath the carpets, or give the decorative ceilings a fresh lick of paint and a neutral colour scheme.
And with a little more effort you could add more value than you first thought...
Why not transform that cream brick façade with a sleek coat of render, or install some double doors (or a wall) to the large opening that dissects the formal rooms to suddenly turn a three-bedroom home into four or five (if you include that rear yard retreat).
Or you could go all out with that brand new open-plan extension you always wanted. And if you are feeling really adventurous, why not knock down the retreat and start digging that pool.
Whatever you decide...you can't lose in Parkside.
