With entry-level opportunities in the ‘Hills District’ at an all-time low, this original 1971 built residence is perfect for those that value a superb position but aren’t afraid of a little hard work.
Situated on a large 620m2 allotment that backs onto leafy bushland and in head a little further past it, the Kedron Brook Creek and then the Keperra Country Club Golf Course.
There’s no question that this is a ‘renovator’s dream’ but with such an incredible layout and thoughtful design, the finished product could be truly breath-taking if you sink your teeth into it!
To find 91 Kylie Avenue, head along Dawson Parade until you turn into Patricks Road at the K-Mart Plaza shopping centre, follow it along until you turn left into Ferny Way at the lights and then take your first left into Dinterra Avenue.
You’ll head along Dinterra until the very end where you’ll turn right into Kylie Avenue and follow it along as you curve around to the right and eventually, Number 91 is on your left.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice that the current owner has just cleared out the front so you landscape this area to your own style…a true ‘blank canvass’ if you will!
The incredible architectural design actually comprises four split levels when you analyse it carefully…and the home was constructed by a builder as his own home…back in the day!
You’ll enter the abode on what is almost the middle level of the home where the first room you’ll discover is the voluminous open plan lounge and dining area enormous 14-foot vaulted ceilings – absolutely stunning!
This area adjoins the spacious built-in kitchen with an electric cook top and oven as well as plenty of bench and cupboard space…just imagine opening up this area and creating what could one of the most inspiring cosmopolitan open plan areas on the entire region.
As you might have now realised, one of the best things about a home of this era is the solid construction type – it’s all hardwood and steel framed and hardwood floored…a common occurrence in 1971 but a rarity today.
You’ll head up a split staircase (with ample storage underneath) to discover each of the three sizeable bedrooms that all provide built-in robes and ceiling fans (the main bedroom offers a sensational leafy aspect through the large window).
Up here, you’ll also find the main bathroom with a shower, bath and separate vanity whilst there’s also a separate toilet and a handy linen cupboard right nearby.
Head downstairs to the lowest living area and you’ll be blown away by the fantastic family room that features a toasty combustion heater in the centre of the space – you could really incorporate this into your modern design.
This area also provides a fabulous bricked-in bar area with a built-in indoor BBQ (yes that’s right), a separate office and a separate toilet – this architect was certainly way ahead of his time!
Head down one more split flight of stairs and you’ll find the garage level that provides a remote double door with extra length (tandem accommodation on one side) and workshop area as well.
The laundry is also on this level for easy convenience to the outside.
You might have noticed that there’s also an easy side access down the driveway that provides another space for boats, caravans or extra vehicles just beyond the garage.
Additionally, the tiled roof contains an old solar system and there’s also an electric hot water system too.
How you renovate this home is limited only by your own imagination but can you imagine keeping a retro 1970’s theme but combining it with a modern influence – the finished product could be truly breath-taking!
Apart from the Keperra Golf Course, you’re close to plenty of local schools that include the Ferny Hills State School, Ferny Grove State High School, St Williams Primary, St Andrews Catholic School, Mt Maria Mitchelton, Northside Christian College and Prince of Peace Lutheran College.
There’s a myriad of shopping options available such as Ferny Grove Shopping Village, Arana Hills Plaza, the Great Western Super Centre, Ferny Fair Convenience and Brookside Shopping Centre.
You’re close to a ton of local restaurants, cafes and pubs that include the Ferny Grove Tavern, the Arana Hills Leagues Club or the Finnigan Chin’s Pub in Keperra.
Additionally, there’s plenty of parks, sporting clubs and public transport options including the Ferny Grove Train Station with a ‘park and ride’ option where you can get to the CBD in less than 30 minutes.
