1 Reedie Street, Henley Beach, SA, 5022, Australia

Auction Saturday the 09/11/2024 at 10am (Unless Sold Prior)

The original owner was well known in the area as a Builder. He was also the Mayor, an Alderman & Councillor for the Henley & Grange Council for many years.

The most recent owner (the daughter of the original owner) moved into this home when she was just 9 years old. She met her husband at a dance at Henley Square, and they were married at Henley Beach. They had their Reception on the seafront at Henley Beach and continued to live at Henley Beach for the rest of their lives, where they brought up their family.

The most recent owners were members of many volunteer groups over the years, including the SA Sea Rescue Squadron. In fact, the last Squadron Boat was named the Allen Phillips, after him, and recognising his 50 years of service.

It is evident that this has been a much loved family home. At different times, this home has housed multi generations of the same family, with internal modifications such as a separate mini-apartment offering convenience in the past, and possibilities for the future.

Inside the home, one feels a grand sense of occasion once inside, with the double entrance doors leading to a formal parlour/sitting room, with its feature fireplace (these days just for decorative purposes), and other luxurious touches including wooden plate rack shelving and Jarrah floorboards. The original glass doors still form a partition between the two formal rooms. The ceilings have ornamental features, showing once again how proud the owners were of their home.

The master bedroom enjoys views to the front garden, and is of pleasing proportions, along with another room ideal as another living area or bedroom, a spacious light filled kitchen, and another bedroom, all of which are serviced by a spacious and predominantly original bathroom. There is a separate laundry and long sunroom space, designed to engulf the morning sun. A nearly self contained apartment (just sharing the second bathroom), offers a good sized bedroom and a second room and kitchenette, and with a bit of updating, could be ideal for multi generational living.

As summer draws closer, a leisurely walk just across the other side of Military Road will see you at the "private, secret beach" (due to the fact that it's a no through road).

So much opportunity, so many possibilities, at this family haven in beautiful Henley Beach.

More to adore:
-Secured garaging with roller door from Military Road
-Plenty of shedding/workshop opportunities for the Man Cave or She Shed
-Plethora of options ranging from owner occupier, or Developer/Investor (stcc)
-Perfect proximity to Henley Beach, and just a few minutes' walk to Henley Square
-The original Hills Hoist in the backyard, another throwback to a bygone era
