Last Listing description (August 2024)

If you have been house hunting in the Kenmore area then I'm sure you will have seen no shortage of classic homes boasting beautiful original character features - but this home is certainly one of the best!

"Breathtaking" almost feels like an understatement, but it truly is the best word to describe the feeling that you get when you step through the French doors at the front and are met with soaring raked ceilings, full-height windows filling the home with natural light and sweeping leafy views off the back deck just beyond. Original hardwood floors throughout the upstairs / entry level (matching the timber decks to the front and back) not only create a seamless flow from indoors to outdoors but also give the home that sense of warmth that mid-century design is so well known for.

And it's not just charm that this home has to offer - it's also offers an ideal separation of spaces for the whole family. Take a few steps downstairs and you will find yourself in a palatial tiled family room (seriously - it has 2.6m ceilings and is 7.8m x 7.1m!) just waiting to become the centre of the kids' chill-out zone while you enjoy the serenity upstairs all to yourself. Our sellers assure us the best spot for this is out on the covered back deck, where you can soak in a stunning winter sunset from its north-westerly aspect or take advantage of the elevated position for a breeze in the summer while you keep an eye on the kids in the pool below.

Tucked away in a pocket of Kenmore that is peaceful and private while still being within a few minutes' walk of parks, bus stops, and catchment Kenmore High as well as an equally short drive from everything else you might need, the location could not possibly be better and will undoubtedly make this home very sought after. Be very speedy to view.
