Overview
Where the lake life begins
This property presents a rare and compelling opportunity in one of West Lakes Shore's most desirable streets. Situated on a generous 690 square metre allotment directly opposite a prominent neighbourhood reserve, it offers direct access via a path to both the reserve and the renowned West Lakes, creating a lifestyle address that is truly unique and difficult to replicate.
West Lakes Shore is recognized as one of Adelaide's most cherished lakeside suburbs, known for its quiet, established, and community-focused environment. It offers a high standard of everyday living that consistently attracts buyers. The suburb's appeal is enhanced by its waterfront access, expansive green spaces, excellent schooling options, and convenient arterial connections to the CBD, beaches, and northern suburbs, ensuring strong long-term value retention.
The property's standout feature begins outside the front door. Manly Circuit experiences virtually no through traffic, giving the street a near-private feel. Directly opposite the home, a network of paths extends in multiple directions, passing Trust Reserve, running beneath Bartley Terrace, and connecting to extensive cycling and walking trails that reach the city, beach, and the entire length of the lake line.
This connectivity is ideal for those who enjoy running, cycling, walking, or simply appreciate the luxury of stepping outside and being on the water within seconds. Few locations in Adelaide's western region offer such immediate and natural access to these amenities.
The residence itself is practical and comfortable, featuring genuine upgrades. The internal living space of 118 square metres includes three bedrooms, a dedicated lounge room, a study, and two bathrooms, with the second bathroom added in 2023. The carport accommodates two vehicles and includes a remote-controlled electric roller door, also updated in 2023.
Energy efficiency is enhanced by a 7.48 kilowatt solar system paired with a 13.3 kilowatt-hour battery installed in September 2023, helping to minimize energy costs. Security is addressed with an alarm system and cameras for peace of mind. A large, quality timber deck extends the living area outdoors, perfectly suited for entertaining and overlooking a spacious and private rear garden complete with a garden shed and ample space for various uses.
The expansive rear garden opens further possibilities. Located within a waterfront neighbourhood precinct, the allotment size and location may allow for demolition of the existing dwelling and development of up to three homes, subject to planning approval. This presents a clear opportunity for developers, investors, and forward-thinking buyers who recognize the embedded land value. For owner-occupiers seeking space, privacy, and lifestyle, the property is equally attractive.
Built in 1976, the home has been thoughtfully maintained and improved over time. It offers a genuine opportunity to move in and enjoy one of Adelaide's premier lifestyle addresses as it currently stands, to upgrade and enhance over time, or to unlock significant development potential inherent in this quality site and location.
