If a house could be a time capsule, this would be the one! And regardless of whether the mid-century was your era, or your parents', or even your grandparents', the classic style of this 1973 Griffin & Knowlman single-level home is guaranteed to spark the warm fuzzies of nostalgia the moment you step through the front door.
But if nostalgia isn't quite enough, let me also point out that with its solid brick and tile construction, this property has well and truly stood the test of time-and done it in style. I'm talking exposed brick feature walls and timber panelling, which make for a clean, striking look when paired with the high vaulted ceilings and original light fixtures. Some say that mid-century is coming back into fashion, but when I look at a timeless home like this it truly feels like it never left in the first place. The multiple living spaces, convenient double carport with extra lock-up storage, and meticulously maintained bathroom with original fixtures and fittings are just a few examples of how well loved and maintained this home has been, while being complimented by sleek new hybrid floors and modern appliances to the kitchen installed within the last 2 years. Positioned in a quiet street with minimal through traffic, this 574sqm block features a flat, fully fenced backyard ideal for kids' games or the green thumbed, as well as a charming, paved terrace perfect for entertaining.
Perfect for first-time buyers, downsizers, savvy investors, and those who appreciate the unparalleled warmth and character of a genuine mid-century dwelling or the opportunity for an easy cosmetic upgrade, this property is a true gem. Add to that its central Kenmore location, just a stone's throw away from shops, public transport, and a mere 200m walk from the high-performing Kenmore South State School, and you have the cherry on top of an already stunning property.
With the home going to auction on Sunday the 7th of September it's the perfect chance to buy Dad a slice of the good old days for Father's Day - if the property doesn't sell beforehand! Don't delay to view!
