Sometimes you buy a house for the house itself, sometimes you buy a house for the location - and in the case of this spacious, stylish home directly across from the sprawling Akuna Street Parklands, you will be buying for both at once!
Every inch of this home says lifestyle with a capital 'L', from the three distinct living areas inside to the expansive covered decks to both the front and rear, promising endless flexibility for entertaining and relaxing as well as plenty of space to fit the whole family! The upstairs living and split-level family enjoy raked ceilings and beautiful hardwood floors exuding timeless warmth and character which continues throughout the four bedrooms, while the recent kitchen with its stone countertops and high-quality appliances ensures the home is as easy living as you could ever ask for. Barbeque on the back deck, take in the parkland views to the front over your morning coffee or get warm by the fireplace while the cool evenings still last - there are no wrong choices with a home like this!
As for the location - Akuna Street is one of the most desirable streets in Kenmore for more than a few reasons. You have those lush, leafy parkland views and not a single neighbour opposite to spoil the outlook, not to mention walking access to sports fields, playgrounds and even bike paths to the city - but that is truly just the beginning. With a smorgasbord of shops, restaurants, cafes, amenities, and bus stops located on both Wongabel and Marshall Lane plus Kenmore Plaza also within an easy ten-minute walk, you would be hard-pressed to find a more cosmopolitan lifestyle on offer. Add to that the proximity to catchment primary Kenmore South, just a little further on foot in the opposite direction, and you have a home that really does tick all the boxes!
