84 Henry Street, West Croydon, SA 5008 - More Details
Auction
There are houses you buy because they are turnkey. And then there are properties you buy because they brim with raw potential.
Set behind a broad front lawn on just under 700sqm, 84 Henry Street is the latter - a beautifully proportioned red brick and stone-fronted character residence with the kind of original presence that is increasingly difficult to find, and a backyard big enough to make your imagination run wild.
The façade begins the story. Symmetrical red brickwork, handsome stone detailing and a gorgeous tiled, pillared verandah create an immediate sense of grandeur, softened by established citrus and olive trees, and a generous sweep of lawn.
Inside, the proportions of the four main rooms continue to impress, with high ceilings, ornate cornicing and three genuinely generous bedrooms.
The expansive central living room is equally generous, with a handsome timber fireplace surround and mantle creating a natural focal point.
At the rear, the updated eat-in kitchen is practical and surprisingly substantial, with abundant storage, a freestanding stainless-steel oven, gas cooktop and rangehood, plus plenty of room for a family dining table.
Beyond it, the original bathroom remains wonderfully intact, complete with full-sized bathtub.
And then there is the backyard. Oh, the backyard. Stretching deep behind the home, it offers an extraordinary amount of space to work with, whether your vision is a spectacular family garden among existing fruiting trees, a substantial extension, a new outdoor entertaining zone, or something much more ambitious.
Established plantings, a large rear verandah and extensive shedding are great to work with for now, while the sheer scale of the allotment opens up possibilities limited largely by imagination and planning approval.
A substantial double carport, further off-street parking, rear shed and store add the practical side of the equation, while an external laundry and outdoor toilet remain as reminders of the home's earlier life.
Untouched, honest and classically grand, this is the kind of property where a clever architect, an owner-builder with a long-term family vision, or a buyer with a serious renovation itch could create something truly remarkable.
West Croydon delivers the best of the inner west, with Queen Street's cafe scene close by, Croydon and West Croydon stations making the city commute easy.
84 Henry Street is a rare proposition: a character home with the land, scale and original beauty destined for a considered restoration - or a completely new interpretation of the way modern family life happens.
Bring the vision. The house awaits.
