Stunning Design Accents & a Relaxed Indoor/Outdoor Lifestyle
Open For Inspection Saturday 12:30 - 1pm
The leafy elegance of popular Kenmore, just 10kms south-west of the CBD, provides a delightful, tranquil setting for this attractive, light-filled, split-level home.
A warm interior ambience turns this well presented house into an inviting & very attractive home that showcases a creative mix of ‘60s retro design accents, tasteful contemporary highlights, soaring ceilings & the rich natural tones of polished timber in the flooring & built-in bookcases.
A commitment to a relaxed indoor/outdoor lifestyle has resulted in a seamless, light-filled link from the open-plan living area & kitchen to a large & very dramatic dining atrium that extends directly outside to a sensational entertaining terrace. It is a design that brings the lush, sub-tropical landscape deep indoors, both front & back.
The stunning terracotta-tiled dining room is a wonderful environment for entertaining guests on any scale & its conservatory style windows of glass & timber are a visual focal point for all who enter this special home.
The quintessential Brisbane sub-tropical lifestyle experience is further enhanced at the front of the home by a large, covered entertaining deck that is beautifully enveloped by mature palms & a large flowering shade tree.
This is a home that immediately creates a sense of tranquil privacy with the impression you are living in a secluded rainforest retreat rather than in one of Brisbane’s most convenient suburban locations.
Climate friendly features include reverse-cycle air-conditioning, ceiling fans & a natural breezeway created by the impressive amount of sliding glass & louvre feature windows. For the cooler months, there is a cozy “Osburn” gas fireplace with feature brick surround.
Contemporary trapeze lighting, quality stainless steel Blanco cooking appliances & a Miele dishwasher are features of the beautifully refurbished kitchen. The brilliance of white cabinetry & tile splashbacks are tastefully contrasted with black tile tissettos & black granite-look benchtops. A roll-top appliance centre is a thoughtful addition & also serves to streamline the kitchen’s sleekness.
Each of the three generously sized bedrooms features polished timber flooring, reverse cycle air-conditioning & built-in wardrobes. A set of sliding doors open the master bedroom to a magnificent private deck – the perfect spot for a leisurely breakfast or to indulge the luxury of simply lazing away the day. It is an absolute delight to step out & find yourself among the trees elevated above the surrounding area.
The family bathroom, like the kitchen, is tastefully decorated in a black & white theme with attractive, easy-care terrazzo flooring.
A combined entry/study/sunroom is a perfect work-from-home-environment with large sets of windows to admit the light & of course, the view to the lush surrounding landscape.
There is room for one vehicle & storage beneath the home.
