Elevated Family Living Overflowing with Mid-Century Charm
If sweeping leafy views, warm mid-century design and a super, family-friendly location are top of your house-hunting list then you are already looking in the right area - and this home in particular delivers all three in spades!
As a local myself I can tell you that there is something so uniquely "Kenmore" about this home that you will feel the moment you cross the threshold. Built in 1970-71 like many classic homes in the area and boasting original hardwood floors, silky oak framed sliding doors and high vaulted ceilings, this property just breathes character and style the likes of which you will be hard pressed to find in a recent build. The sense of space created by the high ceilings and large windows is no illusion, with two generous living areas and three bedrooms upstairs plus a very private master suite and dedicated office downstairs offering all the flexibility you could ask for to suit any shape and size of family. And above all the home's elevated position means you are in for cool breezes and breathtaking views all year round, from stunning sunsets to spring vistas of the jacarandas in bloom to spectacular storm-watching in the summer!
Meanwhile the lifestyle and location of this home are equally unmatched. Families who love to entertain can host to their hearts content with three distinct outdoor areas from the front balcony to the back patio to the side courtyard, or otherwise relax and take in the privacy of the lush backyard enveloped in a natural screen of dense greenery and home to plenty of local bird life. And speaking of families - not only is the home just two minutes' walk from the back entrance of catchment primary Kenmore South making it ideal for those with young children, but Akuna Street parklands is not far either and will be a hit with the kids and the dog alike while also offering bike paths to the city!
Family homes with this much character in this very desirable pocket of Kenmore do not often come to market, so hurry in quick as you will not be the only one looking!
