With a deep north-facing backyard, this solid brick three-bedroom 1920′s bungalow on 815m2, presents an exciting opportunity to add value in a number of ways.

“There’s oodles of room to add on, or a swimming pool, or anything” says the seller. The home deserves a loving new owner, having been beautifully maintained over the years and with most of its original character intact. Gorgeous fireplaces, triple casement windows, a fretwork hall divide and jarrah floors, yet to be revealed, are all here for the enjoyment of future generations.

Rooms are pleasingly spacious and stay cool at the height of summer with ducted evaporative cooling and ceiling fans. The bedrooms are all doubles and there is a lovely formal lounge, updated bathroom and a large, friendly eat-in kitchen with an impressive range of modern units. It is bordered by a walk-in pantry, laundry and sizeable entertaining pergola with a shade house looking towards deep lawns and picturesque garden beds where peaches will soon be ripe for the picking.

“Mum used to have lots of parties here. You’ve got all this area to have a big barbecue and you can fill the laundry trough up with ice to keep the beer and bubbly chilled.”

Across the back fence is Black Forest Primary School.

“When I was young, we used to go down the backyard, through the fence and we were in school,” Pat says. “Mum and Dad got married during the war and then they bought this house in 1947, and my grandparents lived next door. We had a really good childhood and it used to be open house for all the kids in the street.”

A carport and garage are also provided, while the home is also handily located for shopping and public transport.

“You can catch a bus on South Road; it’s five minutes to the tram – we’re virtually half way between the city and Glenelg – and there’s Clarence Park railway station at the end of Addison Road.”

“I’m going to be sad to see it (the house) go, but hopefully some other young family can enjoy it like we did and, if they have children, they can arrange to have a gate put in the back fence too, so their kids can go to Black Forest like me and my father before me.”

62 Addison represents a great opportunity to acquire a genuine character home on a large and valuable piece of land with sought-after northerly aspect, in a tightly-held location.
