8 Palomino Road, Auldana, SA 5072

Privately perched on the crest of a huge 1,560sqm (approx.) block, just off the top of The Parade and boasting breath-taking views across Adelaide's cityscape to the blue sea, 8 Palomino Road is a solar-powered double-storey surprise package with a versatile floorplan that, with some extensive interior renos (STCC) and smart styling, lends itself to contemporary dual living for buyers wanting to accommodate live-in in-laws or give growing teenagers a little independence.

Behind an arch-windowed brick façade lies 2 levels of living - each needing a thorough overhaul - but the spaces are amply proportioned, the bones solid, and views priceless! The block itself needs love; super-sized for suburbia and gently sloping to meet the street below, it awaits a visionary who sees beyond the rambling garden and what was once a tennis court and can picture the sanctuary that could be created to capitalise on this sky-high position.

The home's upper floor comprises a 3-bedroom sleeping wing and interconnected living areas, either side of a central entry foyer. All original, the large kitchen sits between formal and casual dining areas, the former connecting to a spacious lounge and the latter extending onto an open-air timber balcony. There's a main bathroom with shower and tub, while the master has an ensuite, WIR, and south-facing views. Everything's showing its age and awaiting a modern refurb, but the layout works.

The same goes for the lower level which, with refurnishing and maybe remodelling too (STCC) - could comfortably accommodate extended or immediate family members - and guests. As is, this floor is essentially split into sections stemming off another central entry. There's one bedroom between a basic bathroom and a combined living/dining area with the foundations of a kitchenette, and a second accessed via a storage room from the double garage. Elsewhere is a huge games room with a brick built-in servery/bar and a big laundry.

If renos are your passion or you have the means and mojo to engage pro trades to help you realise this home's full potential, any investment made in this blue-chip location on the edge of the Adelaide Hills will be money well spent (STCC). 8 Palomino Road is a stone's throw from Penfold Park, buses to The Parade/city and an easy drive to prestige private schools and vibrant shopping hubs. Seize this chance for a slice of the sweet east-side life!
