Designed in 1961 by architect John Hitch, this beautifully preserved mid-century home is a confident and enduring example of architecture shaped by proportion, orientation and everyday living. Built for, and lovingly held by, the one family since new, it reflects a level of care that is immediately felt. Original brickwork, timber floors, wall panelling, feature lighting and a fireplace remain integral to the home, creating a cohesion and authenticity that still feels entirely relevant today.
The main living level is warm, open and light-filled, with high ceilings and expansive windows and sliding glass doors that draw the outdoors in. Living and dining spaces flow to the eastern deck and front veranda, where leafy privacy, cooling breezes and elevated views across Brisbane - particularly special as the evening lights appear - become part of daily life. Three bedrooms and two previously renovated bathrooms are positioned to enjoy garden vistas and natural ventilation, complemented by an updated, highly functional kitchen that allows you to move straight in and enjoy the home exactly as it is. At the same time, with exceptional bones, generous proportions and such a strong mid-century framework, the home represents a fantastic opportunity for a thoughtful renovation - one that could elevate what is already great into something truly amazing, by enhancing and celebrating its original design.
Set on a quiet slip road between Kenmore Plaza and Kenmore Village, the location delivers the perfect balance of peace and convenience. Shops, cafés, schools and public transport are all within easy walking distance, while the elevated position, established gardens and minimal passing traffic create a sense of privacy rarely found so close to the heart of Kenmore. This is a home for buyers who value architecture, originality and longevity - and who recognise the rare chance to enhance something genuinely special in one of Kenmore's most tightly held pockets.
This is a truly unique opportunity and certainly one that will not last long. Get in quick to view!
