45 Rita Ave, Rostrevor SA 5073, Australia
Lovingly built by the original owners in 1967 and now offered for the very first time, this beautifully maintained double brick residence is far more than a house – it’s a home filled with warmth, care and connection. Nestled in a quiet, tightly held cul-de-sac on a flat 774sqm (approx.) allotment, this is the kind of property that rarely comes to market and leaves a lasting impression on all who visit.
From the moment you arrive, the home’s secluded courtyard entrance offers a sense of privacy and calm. Framed by established greenery, this peaceful entry point separates the home from the street and creates an immediate sense of retreat – a wonderful space to unwind and enjoy the quiet ambience this location offers.
Inside, the sense of welcome is undeniable. This is a home that has been truly cherished – thoughtfully maintained and beautifully preserved over the decades. Featuring four generously sized bedrooms, all with ceiling fans, a central family bathroom, and high 2.7m ceilings, the layout is both spacious and functional. Original timber floorboards – a mix of Blackwood and pine – add timeless character and warmth.
Comfort is assured year-round with ducted evaporative air conditioning and the original oil heater, still working brilliantly and adding a nostalgic charm. The heart of the home is a spacious lounge and dining area that looks out to the rear garden, making everyday family living and entertaining feel seamless.
The outdoor spaces are just as special – a large undercover verandah is perfect for weekend gatherings and milestone celebrations, while the surrounding gardens are a labour of love. Mature trees and an abundant array of fruit trees – apple, fig, lemon, peach, passionfruit, and grapes – reflect the care and enjoyment this home has given over the years.
There’s ample parking with accommodation for up to five vehicles, including a garage workshop with a pit, plus an adjacent workshop – ideal for trades, tinkerers, or those who simply value extra space. A separate laundry, two large water tanks, and a 3kW solar panel system add further practicality.
Positioned within the highly desirable Stradbroke Primary School and Morialta Secondary College zones, and close to some of Adelaide’s leading private schools including Rostrevor College and St Ignatius’ College. Families will love the lifestyle on offer – a choice of quiet parks and playgrounds are nearby, while the vibrant shopping and café culture of The Parade, Norwood is just minutes away.
Rarely does a home with such soul, space and sentimental value become available. Whether you’re looking to settle in and enjoy as is, or gently update over time, this is a property where you can truly feel the love – and begin a new chapter of your own.
