Located just south of Aldinga Beach Road in a quiet residential precinct and now adjoining the new ‘Latitude’ development, the opportunity exists to retain this substantial residence known as Polkinghorne House and refurbish it if desired. Alternatively redevelop the property and subdivide 3 terrace allotments (STCC) with the sale of the 3 terrace allotments making your acquisition an extremely affordable opportunity to acquire a very special place to call home while still leaving 1700 sqm land.
