Architecturally Designed Family Home in Leafy Location
When it comes to quintessential Kenmore living, I think of a home exactly like this - spacious, stylish, exuding mid-century warmth, and just steps from the lush parklands that make our leafy corner of Brisbane so desirable!
Built by master architect John Dalton in 1974, this home perfectly encapsulates the simple elegance of mid-century design with soaring raked ceilings, original hardwood floors and timeless timber accents. The expansive living / dining flows seamlessly out onto the screened back deck through stunning glass stacker doors, while the separate family, palatial master suite and three downstairs bedrooms guarantee ample space and flexibility for the entire family. Outside, the generous 918sqm block promises all the essentials in outdoor living, with lawn space for the kids, a covered patio for further entertaining and enough garden beds for you to cultivate a veggie garden the size of a small farm if you so desire!
And while the home is already the epitome of comfort and liveability, with all this space comes plenty of opportunity to reconfigure it to suit your needs as well. Just a few easy tweaks to the downstairs layout will go a very long way with this one! Meanwhile the one thing you can never change about a property, the location, just so happens to be absolutely ideal, with a northerly aspect to the rear and elevated, leafy views offering glimpses of Mt Coot-Tha and the very nearby Akuna Street Parklands, only a few minutes' walk away!
Guaranteed to sell at auction on the 6th of December if not before, so if you're planning to view, don't put it off with the Christmas shopping!
