5 Ferris Avenue, Somerton Park, SA 5044

A renovator's delight! Lovingly owned by the same family, for over 80 years. Packed with character, this 1920s brick bungalow, named 'Esmeralda' is nestled in a quiet location in Somerton Park, a short stroll from the beach and fabulous sea views at the end of the street! Perfectly situated for those dreaming of a beachside lifestyle, this is an exciting opportunity on a 806m2 block with a wide, 21.34 metre frontage. Either restore and update, creating a beautiful character family home, or demolish and start from scratch to build your dream!

Solidly built but needing TLC, this three bedroom home offers all the hallmarks from the era in which it was built and evokes memories of the lifestyle of yesteryear. Apart from some 1970s additions, this home is largely untouched and is brimming with original period features including 11 foot ceilings, all original doors and windows, ornate period ceilings, picture rails, fireplaces and door arches.

A spacious entry with a magnificent domed ceiling greets you as you enter the home, with double doors opening to the formal lounge featuring an adjoining sunroom. More original double doors lead into the light-filled and spacious formal dining room, also with stunning decorative ceilings and a large fireplace for cozy winter dining. At the centre of the home, the large dine-in kitchen is the hub of family life and leads to the laundry and utility spaces with a toilet at the rear of the property. Outside, the back yard space provides plenty of flexibility to create the outdoor living spaces to suit your lifestyle. In the garden there's a pergola, water tank and excellent storage options with an original shed, a tool and a garden shed as well as another covered storage area. The undercover carport offers space for two cars with room at the side of the property for another three off street parks.

Character renovators or those wishing to start from scratch, take note! Opportunities like this don't come along often - and this one won't last.
