Charming, Single Level Griffin & Knowlman Right by Kenmore South!
Built in the 1970s by renowned architects / builders Griffin & Knowlman, this home has all the hallmarks of a golden era in mid-century design. Solid, brick and tile construction ensures the home will continue to stand the test of time for years to come, while high, raked ceilings and original timber-framed glass doors add so much character - and all in a very low maintenance, single level package, perfect for families young, old, or in between. Meanwhile the modern kitchen and recent hardwood floors added to the central family area take all the hassle out of updating the interior, leaving you free to adapt the rest as much or as little as you like while continuing to live in it!
Outside, the home could not be more ideally positioned, enjoying a northerly aspect to its covered entertaining patio that promises winter warmth and summer shade, and protected from the street by a fence and a tall hedge for privacy. And, for those not in the know, Roxburgh Street is not only one of Kenmore's most serene streets, privy to leafy views and minimal local traffic, but it is also just two minutes on foot from the back entrance of high performing catchment primary Kenmore South as well as a short walk from the nearby bus stop and corner shop.
A home like this in such a family friendly location is guaranteed to be hotly contested on auction day - that is, if it doesn't sell before. Don't delay to view!
