All eyes are on renovated Adelaide character homes ahead of a busy auction weekend across the country.

The city dominated on realestate.com.au’s national list of most viewed properties going under the hammer this weekend, with Adelaide residences taking out the top three spots.

A 1930s-built Prospect cottage, which has been transformed into a coastal-inspired family home, recorded the highest number of views in the past week.

Ray White Salisbury agent Jake Flavel, who is selling the property at 6 Castle Ave with Annika Talbot, said it was attracting a range of prospective buyers – as well as some people who just wanted to take a look inside.

The Prospect property at 6 Castle Ave is the most viewed residential property on realestate.com.au going to auction across the country this weekend.


The 1930s cottage has been renovated over the past few years.


It’s impressive both inside and out.


“Most people just want to come and have a look at the property because it’s so stunning,” he said.

“Throughout the campaign we’ve had 90 groups through and we’ve got a few opens this weekend as well.

“We’ve had a bit of a mix (of interest), a lot of families are coming through, being so close to a lot of school zones.”

Mr Flavel said the vendors had owned the four-bedroom home for seven years and renovated it meticulously throughout that time.

It has four bedrooms and three bathrooms.


One of the home’s bathrooms was redesigned by The Block 2013 winners Alisa and Lysandra.


The new owners will never run out of wardrobe space.


While modern inside, Mr Flavel said they retained the home’s character charm, which was a major part of its appeal.

Its second level and one of the bathrooms, which were redesigned by The Block 2013 winners Alisa and Lysandra, are among its standout features.

Mr Flavel was expecting a big crowd at auction, which is scheduled for noon on Sunday.

A refurbished West Lakes Shore house and an updated 1960s coastal home at Seaview Downs were also proving popular among househunters as the second and third most viewed properties consecutively on realestate.com.au going to auction at the weekend.

The West Lakes Shore home at 81 Sansom Rd was the second most viewed around the country.


It has been renovated, giving it a much more modern interior.


The Seaview Downs house at 50 Eyre St has also been attracting a lot of attention.


The 1960s coastal home on a large 1200sqm block has a house, small apartment and studio.


The four-bedroom house at 81 Sansom Rd, West Lakes Shore, which is being sold by Kate Smith and Allan Edmonds of Kate Smith Property, will go under the hammer on Saturday at 11am.
