Sweeping 60's Rostrevor haven: Original charm, loads of functionality & huge scope to transform

Spilling with mid-century nostalgia and a hugely versatile footprint set on a sweeping 828m2 parcel strolling distance to Rostrevor College, Morialta Secondary and the scenic Morialta Conservation Park 8 Jenkins Avenue reveals understated function and form for those eager to get into this blue-ribbon pocket, while leaving options aplenty for what to do next.

From renovating and updating a free-flowing interior, and transforming the 3-bedroom floorplan together with the wonderfully spacious, self-contained granny flat/rumpus outside, elevating this address into a family-friendly wonder of exceptional lifestyle balance should hardly need convincing.

With a bright and airy living, open-plan dining and kitchen primed to keep the resident cook in good company, along with a beautiful outdoor entertaining alfresco extending below a sprawling all-weather pergola and lush established greenery there's an incredible base to build from here.

Much-loved and in immaculate condition thanks to its 62-years of single-family ownership, claiming such a prized block promises truly enticing long-term value.

No reminder needed either to enjoy picturesque surrounds, morning or weekend walks, and endless adventure with the little ones, while easy access to schools keeps the morning rush stress-free, and striking distance to some of the east's most bustling shopping hubs Firle Plaza & Kmart, Newton Village, and Newton Central & Target all at arm's reach maintain a lifestyle of social and shopping bliss.
