As robust as the day it was built, bigger than even its imposing first impression lets on and set over two levels to reveal a self-contained home within a home; the modern family will thrive in this 4-5-bedroom abode, just a pause from the Linear Park trail.

With strong double brick bones and a bevy of living zones on its upper-level alone, this is a whole lot of home with a whole lot of potential, ready to come to life with not much more than a cosmetic reboot of its comfy, light-filled interior and perhaps a paint or render of its vast facade.

Have a teen craving some independence? Want the oldest generation of the family living as close as possible? Looking to supplement your income? That self-contained lower floor - with its own bathroom, bedroom, living zone, kitchenette and external access via the garage - says, “Yes you can”.

Dust off the pushbikes, round up the kids and follow that Torrens trail toward the CBD and metro coast beyond to truly understand why Highbury is a suburb with leisure in mind and a bright future all mapped out.
