5 Gowrie Avenue, Glengowrie, SA 5044

This neat-as-a-pin fifties home has been lovingly maintained by its original owners for over sixty years. With the end of an era comes a fantastic opportunity to step up and create a masterpiece in this ever popular, family-friendly neighbourhood.

It's a great area offering breezy tram travel between the city and sea, Jetty Road's food and fashion scene and walking proximity to popular schools including Our Lady of Grace and Glenelg Primary.

The solid brick home, which visitors describe as having a 'lovely vibe', is warm, inviting and flooded with natural light, with generous rooms providing the perfect springboard for renos and additions (STCC) either now or further down the track.

Open up windows and doors to let fresh ocean breezes work their magic in spacious formal areas overlooking the deep front garden - a sea of muted purples and greens evocative of nearby dunes - and a large family room with views across the lawned backyard, where kids and pets will love to play.

These same views may be enjoyed from a similarly spacious eat-in kitchen offering an extravagance of stylish linen-weave cabinets. Premium built-in storage is again a highlight of one of the two double bedrooms serviced by a modern bathroom boasting spa luxury. With all this, you can move in and live comfortably while you formulate plans to take this home from wonderful to perfect.

The extensive north-facing backyard is an opportunity in itself, with more than enough space for that dream extension (STCC), a pool and even a veggie patch. (There's already a good little fruit orchard down the back.)

There are also a number of good sheds including an auto double garage and a caravan carport that could work a few different ways, depending on what's needed.

Whether you decide to roll up your sleeves and renovate or maintain it as an investment, this cherished property is waiting to begin a fresh and exciting chapter with a new owner. Will that someone be you?
