Take a symmetrical villa, the spirit of an era past with modern day touches and add a vibrant, evolving location some 15 minutes from the CBD.
Couples, first-time buyers with the city in sight and families in mind - tighten your foothold, right here.
With so much period perfection to love embellished by a tasteful restoration, the priming, sanding and polishing is done, your task is simply to buy into the character and the lifestyle.
Let the storybook bluestone facade and picket fence start the story, and allow decorative fireplaces, polished Baltic boards and copper-finished bathroom upgrade (with clawfoot bath), and a rear open plan addition continue its character-filled chapter.
We know a new build won't buy you big rooms like this - the enchanting original front rooms (all with fireplaces) flaunt star-gazing high ceilings and assert themselves as a master, second and third bedroom each with built-ins, while midway settles in comfortably as the spacious living room.
A central hallway in true villa style gravitates to the open plan kitchen, dining and living parading leadlight and a token archway.
Cook's dream of kitchenhands and in this layout, there's no excuse... ample benchtops, a U-shape formation and a breakfast bar allows orders to and from the stove to dinner table.
And outdoors - French doors lend themselves to entertaining alfresco. 10 metres of elevated timber decking, standing watch over a level playing field gearing up for a stampede of little feet with energy to burn.
Or just a quiet spot to soak in the landscaped surrounds and shade from your neighbouring established trees.
Queen and Elizabeth Street Croydon cafes tease from gluttonous goodies to green tea less than 500 metres from your door.
High-octane pursuits lead to the entertainment arenas of Hindmarsh Stadium and the Entertainment Centre, or slow the pace at Plant4 Bowden's fashion, food and nutrition fix not far further east.
St. Josephs' School is but a stroll, so too the Croydon train station to the Port precinct or the city.
West Hindmarsh - a closely guarded secret or the west's next best suburb?
