73 Lewis Street, South Brighton, SA 5048 - More Details
$1,275,000 - $1,400,000
Set in an attractive streetscape in popular South Brighton, this appealing cream brick home offers much more than first meets the eye. With three bedrooms, multiple living areas, a swimming pool and extensive outdoor entertaining facilities, it's a property that has evolved over the years to provide comfortable, practical family living.
The home itself is comfortable and unpretentious, with a traditional formal lounge at the front, three bedrooms, two with built-in robes, an upgraded bathroom, separate toilet and separate laundry.
The updated kitchen is centrally positioned alongside the dining area, providing a practical hub for everyday family life. From here, step down into the extended rear living room, complete with an open fireplace that adds warmth and character. Doors open directly to the covered outdoor entertaining area, creating a terrific connection between indoor and outdoor living.
And it's outside where this property really comes into its own!
The substantial inground swimming pool, reportedly around 10 feet deep at its deepest point, is the centrepiece of a backyard designed for family fun and entertaining. Covered entertaining areas, a character-filled timber bar and a collection of practical outbuildings give the whole setting a relaxed, almost holiday-like atmosphere.
There's even an additional outdoor toilet, particularly handy when everyone is enjoying the pool, along with shaded pergolas, established garden areas and still enough lawn for children and pets to enjoy.
Car accommodation is another bonus, with undercover parking for three vehicles and room for a further two vehicles securely positioned behind the automatic front gate. A 20-panel solar array adds further appeal, helping reduce electricity costs and making everyday living more economical. The substantial landholding is another compelling feature.
With approximately 763 square metres, a generous 17.83 metre frontage, a depth of approximately 42.80 metres and General Neighbourhood zoning, the property presents an attractive opportunity for those considering future redevelopment.
The dimensions lend themselves to the potential construction of two new homes, either side by side or in a front-and-rear configuration, with nearby development precedents providing further encouragement. Any redevelopment would, of course, be subject to the necessary planning consents and approvals (STCC).
For developers, there's an opportunity to investigate redevelopment now. For families and investors, there's the equally attractive prospect of enjoying or leasing the existing home while retaining a substantial landholding with exciting possibilities for the future.
Conveniently located close to schools, parks, shopping and public transport, with Brighton's beautiful coastline within easy reach, this is an opportunity to secure a generously proportioned property in a highly desirable coastal suburb without paying a premium for unnecessary bells and whistles.
A comfortable family home, a terrific entertainer and a substantial landholding with genuine future possibilities - there's plenty to like about 73 Lewis Street.
Whether you're looking for a family home to enjoy today, an investment with longer-term prospects or a potential redevelopment opportunity, this is a property that deserves your inspection.
