28 Bray Avenue Semaphore Park, SA 5019

Currently home to a 3-bedroom stone-fronted bungalow that needs work but has good bones, it's the substantial 956sqm (approx.) size of this block and its walking distance proximity to the beach that will ultimately secure the interest of renovators looking for a relic to reimagine and buyers scouting for sites with scope to accommodate an all-new build (STCC).

Tucked in off Bower Road, which connects the property with Semaphore South Beach and vibrant Port Adelaide to the east, 28 Bray Avenue sits alongside a mix of other character homes and exciting modern residences. The block is deep, with no significant trees listed, opening the door to a possible modern rear extension and improved outdoor entertaining facilities (STCC); there's also capacity for a single driveway to run down the side of the house and meet future secure garaging.

As is, the bungalow's list of charming historic features includes a gable-roofed front verandah, timber floorboards/architraves, and high ceilings. Two beds and a compact bathroom (shower-over-tub) branch off an entry passage that extends into a lounge with a servery into a separate dining room -all these spaces crying out for attention. Out back is a 3rd bed and a refurbished kitchen opening onto a covered verandah with the WC at one end.

Renovators will likely rejig the floor plan to retain the villa's look and main front rooms, while adding a thoughtful extension to bring in larger bedrooms, extra bathrooms, light-filled internal living spaces, and alfresco entertaining areas (STCC). Of course, if your heart is set on something altogether modern, there's certainly room across this big block to entertain all sorts of creative designs (STCC).

What is locked in place is this super location, just a 15-minute walk to cooling beach dips, and even closer to a playground, sporting facilities and the train station to get into town. If you crave the seaside life, this is where you could create a home that's all you ever dreamed of!
