The West is changing, and with it, Allenby Gardens – a quiet, leafy pocket that nuzzles the city fringes while nurturing connections with the fashionable beach burbs of Grange and Henley Beach. Where location offers so much, a courtyard home would seem the way to go.

Surrounded by similarly concise cuties, this three-bedroom model of easy living tiptoes onto the market after a 20-year love affair with just one owner. And it shows!

Front to rear, fresh finishes add to the villa vernacular, creating breeze-in options for downsizers, starters and investors looking for contemporary contentment in crisp whites, practical timber-look vinyl flooring and the versatility of two separate living spaces plus an outdoor entertaining area.

First, a bay-window lounge refuses to be sidelined by a separate entrance hall, creating ample space to spread outside the (carpeted) square.

Three bedrooms ensue, each favoured with clutter-confining built-ins and the sharable delights of a three-way bathroom, additional powder room and laundry.

Timber trim tracks each gleaming white surface, warming the contours of windows, doorways and, finally, a kitchen blessed with gas cooking and easy conversation. Let it flow to adjacent family and dining areas while mess stays hidden out of view.

Giant glass sliders reveal a readiness to spill outside to clear-roofed terrace dining – pitching perfect alfresco entertaining alongside manicured turf and a living wall of greenery. So private!

Grab and go with Grange Road shops and fast food outlets, and enjoy a wider, more leisurely experience at walk-to Welland Plaza. As for schools, your quality local line-up includes Allenby Gardens and St Michael’s primaries. A walk in the park? You can have that too!

Courtyard convenience, fresh updates and a prime pocket of the West By George, it’s good!
