There's a particular kind of luxury in a home that gives you everything you need without asking too much of you in return. Enough space, enough garden and enough style to make being there a pleasure - but with everything on one level, a largely flat block and none of the renovation projects or endless maintenance that can so easily start owning your weekends.
19 Lochiel Street strikes that balance beautifully. It feels wonderfully calm and uncomplicated, with generous spaces to come together, another to escape to when you'd rather not, and lovely connections to the outdoors at both ends of the home. Morning coffee in the front courtyard, dinner on the rear deck, doors open to the garden on a beautiful Brisbane afternoon - there are plenty of ways to enjoy being at home here.
Inside, the mood is warm, light and relaxed. The kitchen sits naturally at the heart of the main living and dining space, making this somewhere that lends itself just as easily to a quiet night at home as it does to having family and friends around. And when everyone needs a little more room, the second living space opens straight onto the deck and backyard - or close the doors and use it as a fourth bedroom, home office or somewhere entirely your own. Better still, with fresh paint, modern kitchen and bathrooms, established gardens and a home that has clearly been well cared for, there's very little standing between you and simply moving in and enjoying it.
And then there's the rather lovely contradiction of Lochiel Street itself. Tucked right near the top of a tiny cul-de-sac with no through traffic, it feels remarkably removed from everything. You could live in Kenmore for years and never have reason to drive up here - yet Kenmore South State School and the bus are only a couple of minutes away on foot, while Kenmore Village and Kenmore Plaza are just an easy drive away.
Single-level homes with this combination of presentation, position and ease of living are always in strong demand, and we expect 19 Lochiel Street to be no exception. Going to auction if not sold prior, this is one to see sooner rather than later.
