Loved and enjoyed by the same family for over 60 years, this is a home that is easy to move into today, yet clearly offers something more for those thinking ahead.
The layout reflects its era, but the space is there where it matters. A well-separated bedroom wing, offering generously sized rooms, sits alongside multiple living areas, including a formal lounge and dining, a huge rear rumpus that opens the home right up, and a covered front patio that captures an elevated outlook to the North-East. The kitchen remains a proper eat-in space with room for a six-seater table, and the master bedroom includes its own ensuite. Timber floors sit beneath the carpet, already uncovered in one bedroom - and it's easy to see how much they could lift the home.
What makes this one compelling is the position it puts you in. You're not starting from scratch - you're working with a home that is entirely liveable, but with obvious scope to improve and add value over time. Whether that's a gradual renovation or something more substantial, including lifting and building in underneath (STCA), there's a clear and very workable path forward. The block only strengthens that opportunity; relatively flat and north-east facing, it's easy to use and equally easy to plan around - whether that's creating a proper backyard for kids, introducing a pool at the front or rear, or considering a completely new home down the track.
In a quiet and low-traffic position, yet only moments from Akuna Parklands, Kenmore Plaza and within the catchment for Kenmore South State School, this location continues to be one of the area's most reliable performers.
Homes that offer this balance - liveable now, with genuine upside - are becoming increasingly hard to find. Whether you're looking to settle in, renovate over time or start again, this is an opportunity that will reward the right buyer - and one that is guaranteed to sell at auction if not before.
