A rare and compelling opportunity on one of West Lakes Shore's most enviable streets. Positioned on an expansive 690 square metre allotment directly opposite the iconic neighbourhood reserve, with a path cutting through to both the reserve and the world-famous West Lakes, this is a lifestyle address that is almost impossible to replicate.
West Lakes Shore is one of Adelaide's most tightly held and loved lakeside suburbs. Quiet, established and community-minded, it delivers a standard of everyday living that consistently draws buyers back. The combination of waterfront access, green open space, excellent schooling and arterial connectivity to the CBD, the beach and the northern suburbs make it a suburb that fundamentally holds its value, and its appeal.
What makes 36 Manly Circuit stand apart begins outside the front door. Manly Circuit carries virtually no through traffic, a configuration that makes the street feel almost private. Step directly opposite and a network of paths unfolds in every direction - trailing past Trust Reserve, running beneath Bartley Terrace and connecting to cycling and walking trails that reach the city, the beach and the full length of the lake line.
For those who run, cycle, walk or simply value the luxury of stepping out the door and being on the water in a matter of seconds, this property is extraordinary. Few addresses anywhere in Adelaide's west can offer this level of immediate, natural connectivity.
The home itself is practical, comfortable and full of genuine upgrades. The 118 square metre internal layout delivers three bedrooms, a dedicated lounge room, a study, and two bathrooms - the second of which was added in 2023. The carport accommodates two vehicles and features a remote-controlled electric roller door, also updated in 2023.
A 7.48 kilowatt solar system with a 13.3 kilowatt-hour battery, installed in September 2023, keeps energy costs minimal, and a security alarm with cameras provides peace of mind. A large quality timber deck extends the living space outdoors, perfectly positioned for entertaining against the backdrop of an enormous and private rear garden, complete with a garden shed and space that genuinely leaves room for your imagination.
And it is that rear space that opens a conversation all its own. Positioned within a waterfront neighbourhood precinct, the allotment size and location may support the demolition of the existing dwelling and the construction of up to three homes, subject to planning approval. For developers, investors and forward-thinking buyers who recognise the land value embedded in this address, the opportunity is obvious. For owner-occupiers who simply want the space, the privacy and the lifestyle, it is equally compelling.
Built in 1976, the home has been thoughtfully maintained and improved, and it presents today as a genuine opportunity: to move in and enjoy one of Adelaide's finest lifestyle addresses as it stands, to upgrade and improve over time, or to unlock the development potential that a site of this quality and location quietly demands.

- 690 square metre allotment (approx)
