27 Fourth Avenue, Cheltenham, SA 5014 - More Details
$995,000 | Auction
Pairing enduring 1925 bones and period detail with considered updates and a freeing 813sqm approx. parcel, this eminently loveable Cheltenham bungalow already works beautifully as it stands, yet leaves so much land behind it that a rear architectural addition feels less a question of if than when.
Move straight into a character-rich two-bedroom footprint with generous living spaces and an enormous all-weather entertaining zone, then take your time deciding how boldly the next chapter should use a backyard with genuine depth, substantial shedding and room for a bigger residential idea.
The original house carries its age well, from polished timber boards, tall ceilings and broad proportions to decorative hallway detailing and a handsome fireplace giving the main family room its period centrepiece.
Two large bedrooms sit forward of the living spaces, while the existing kitchen and dining room remain simple, functional and refreshingly unpretentious, providing an easy base for immediate occupation or renovation without prematurely dictating what comes next.
The bathroom has already undergone a more expressive renovation, pairing wall-to-wall subway tiling with patterned flooring, a freestanding bath, glass shower and ornate vanity in a room that happily pushes against the home's otherwise restrained palette.
Then the footprint opens dramatically at the rear, where a broad veranda effectively becomes another living zone, complete with its own toilet and enough scale for long-table lunches, parties, lounging and year-round use while keeping the backyard firmly in view.
Beyond it sits the real opportunity, where lawn, hardstand and a serious 60sqm insulated shed with car hoist give the rear of the property far more purpose than its modest bungalow frontage initially lets on.
The land itself still has genuine depth, leaving room to contemplate a substantial extension, studio, pool or broader architectural reworking of the site while retaining the kind of workshop and storage capacity increasingly difficult to replicate.
And some of the less glamorous work has already been handled too, with the hot water system replaced late last year and a new roof completed earlier this year, adding useful substance beneath the home's obvious character.
Cheltenham only strengthens the proposition, sitting in an increasingly interesting western pocket where the changes of recent years are becoming hard to miss, from two walkable local cafes and the refreshed restaurant above Alberton Oval to a popular nearby gym, with Port Adelaide, St Clair, Semaphore, West Lakes and the CBD extending the lifestyle considerably further.
