42 River Drive, Athelstone, SA 5076

One for the nature lovers with this "House on the Park"! 42 River Drive is a versatile 5-bedroom brick lowset boasting a mix of formal and casual internal living areas, gorgeous gardens of its own, and a prize location directly opposite Linear Park atop a substantial 770sqm (approx.) elevated block.

A smart layout makes the most of the sensational skyline of soaring gum trees across the road, with all the living areas ? the kitchen too ? taking in this tranquil leafy aspect through big picture windows; there's also a sweeping front verandah for enjoying shady morning cuppas or evening cocktails to a birdsong soundtrack.

While bill-busting additions like solar panels have been introduced over this beauty's lifespan, much of the interior d?cor is original '90s. If you wanted to, making your own ultra-modern mark here could be as easy as refitting the kitchen, family bathroom and master ensuite ? all generous and perfectly functional spaces as they are ? simply update to reflect your taste and needs (STCC).

A moment for the gardens because they are a treat, with stone and shrub-filled, tiered landscaping out the front and a big veggie patch, fruit trees and play-friendly open-air paved spaces out the back ? and not an inch of lawn to be mowed!

Securing this incredible holding along River Drive is your ticket to sharing relaxing waterside strolls with the kids, birds and native wildlife, and, if you're up for it, 45-minute bike rides into town. Every other amenity is also nearby, with easy runs by car to Athelstone Primary, St Ignatius and Charles Campbell Colleges, along with vibrant local shopping hubs.
