About this Property
In the early 1950's when Playford and Ramsay were planning the new city north of Adelaide that would become Elizabeth, they understood that employment was the key to the new towns success and so the very first part of Elizabeth to be constructed was that closest to what would be for decades the areas largest employer, the Holden factory.
They correctly believed that the area would be more attractive to migrants and locals alike if men could walk to work, women to the local shops and children to the schools and a train could take anyone to the city in less than 25 minutes. Making life convenient for working people would attract more recent arrivals from overseas who may not yet have cars.
The first homes built in Elizabeth South, which are the oldest in Elizabeth, were built to best demonstrate the promise of this new satellite city and so became show homes for the area. As such many of these early homes are built to a very high quality compared to those built elsewhere in Elizabeth in the years to come.
The plot land between Glue Pot Road (now Phillip Highway) and the railway line was the first to be made into housing using Goodman Road (formerly Gawler Road) as the Main Street extending between the Holdens Factory and the proposed Elizabeth City Centre.
This historical reference is important because for all the reasons this area was so convenient and liveable mid last century it is even more so today.
This home is amongst the first to be built in the area and as such demonstrates the care and attention the builders lavished on these early examples.
Solid brick construction is not always favoured due to the area's reactive soil and yet this home has barely moved in nearly 70 years. With terra cotta tiled roof, this property was unique compared to those built after with high quality materials in use during construction keeping it in good stead all these years later.
Held by the one family for decades, this residence has been well loved and served them well as their home and in later years as an investment property.
Many of the original features remain whilst thoughtful improvements abound.
Disposed on a very generous corner allotment, this home boasts 3 traditionally proportioned bedrooms and offers the potential of an external rumpus room for the growing family. This room needs work in order to bring it back to its best but the flexibility and utility that such a room can deliver will be valued by those with growing families or those perhaps work from home.
With side access to the rear yard to the garage the modern young family have plenty of parking opportunities off street and under cover.
Although ready to move into and enjoy from day one, this home offers potential aplenty to make it a home of your own by applying your personal touches over time.
With scope to renovate the kitchen and bathroom during your tenure, this property is ripe for refurbishment in some areas and so there is a great chance for the astute home improver to add even further value in the years to come.
Naturally, those satisfied with the original features can save money and enjoy this home with little expense so making this affordable for those on a budget.
Live in or rent out, Nest or invest- the choice is yours and with the opportunity of being situated on a generous corner allotment, the possibilities are evident.
It has come time to pass on the baton after decades within the same family and so this almost once in a lifetime opportunity to secure this residence now presents.
