Location Features:
Probably the best feature of this house is the wonderful location straight across the road from Kelvin Grove's favourite park - Bancroft Park. Bancroft Park is well known amongst local residents as we all like to go there with our dogs to make use of the large dog park, and children can play safely at the playground, there is also a BBQ area for family get togethers. Another great feature of this parkland is that it doesn't end at Bancroft Park, the walkway can take you all the way out to The Gap (with many parks to stop at along the way) or right into the City via Herston... use it for bike rides, runs or walks... great for children riding their bikes and scooters safely.
Suburb Features:
In the growth suburb of Kelvin Grove, situated near the Royal Brisbane & Women's Hospital (RBWH) and the Kelvin Grove Village, this house is in the perfect location. The Kelvin Grove Village offers great shopping including many Restaurants and Cafes, a local Supermarket, Butcher, Dentist, Doctors and a Beauty Parlour. All this within a walk of your new home. The Village is quickly becoming something special with the Saturday Farmers Markets and many Creative Events on the calendar every year.
You are also an easy distance to the Newmarket Shops, and also the fabulous Paddington Shopping precinct... so many dining and shopping options to choose from. On Sundays you can take the Parkland bikeway straight to the Northey St Organic Farmers markets.
Bancroft St is walking distance to the RBWH, one of Queensland's largest hospitals and one of the largest teaching hospitals in the Southern Hemisphere. Your new house is also incredibly close to the CBD for work and is surrounded by many great primary and secondary Schools.
You will love being a resident of such a great community.
