First time to the market in over 40 years, this sturdy brick and tile home, built in 1977, has been well loved and impeccably maintained. Brimming with original mid-century character and charm, from exposed brick accents to timber panelling and expansive windows framing picturesque views of Mount Coot-tha and the lush garden, this spacious family abode offers a sprawling layout across two levels, providing ample space for a growing family with multiple living areas, a covered alfresco, four large bedrooms, and a study. Excitingly, this home is in great condition, making it move-in-ready yet presenting a fantastic opportunity for renovation to tailor it to your unique style.
Outside, the property's whopping 1,237 sqm block goes to good use with plenty of flat grassed areas perfect for multiple ball games, a covered back patio for a morning coffee or an evening wine, and enough fruit trees and veggie patches to have you cooking with fresh produce all year round.
And the location could not possibly be better-despite the quiet serenity of the surrounds, the home is less than 10 minutes on foot from THREE local schools, including catchment Kenmore State and Kenmore High, as well as all the shops, restaurants, and library at Kenmore Village Shopping Centre just down the road!
Family homes of this size and in this location do not often come to market and definitely do not stick around long. I implore you to hurry in quick!
