There's something rather special about a home that celebrates the best of its past while embracing everything we want from the present. And here at 247 Kenmore Road, the combination is quite exceptional. Soaring raked ceilings, warm blonde brickwork and walls of glass are all wonderful reminders of its mid-century origins. But with an extraordinary top-to-bottom renovation, this is a home that offers all the character of yesterday with the style, comfort and convenience of today.
Set across a single level on a beautifully landscaped 1,002sqm block, the interconnected living spaces are wonderfully inviting, with an original brick fireplace, a stunning new kitchen and extensive glazing that draws the gardens and surrounding landscape into the home. Everything has been considered, from the beautiful new bathrooms and flooring to the soft, neutral finishes that complement rather than compete with the original architecture. The result is a home that feels both wonderfully familiar and refreshingly new.
And then there's the view. Quite possibly the biggest surprise of all. From the rear terrace, kitchen, living spaces and master bedroom, the landscape opens up across the treetops towards the distant ranges in a panorama you simply wouldn't expect. Outside, the transformation is equally impressive, with beautifully restored crazy paving, thoughtfully landscaped gardens, established trees and generous lawns creating a wonderful setting for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying the outdoors. It's an exceptional combination of architectural character, contemporary refinement and a truly remarkable outlook.
Perfectly suited to families, downsizers and buyers of all ages and stages, this is a home where the hard work has been done and the pleasures of living can begin immediately. Add the convenience of excellent schools, shopping and public transport close at hand, and the appeal is complete. 247 Kenmore Road is set to sell at auction on Saturday 14 November, if not before. We invite you to come and discover it for yourself.
