38 Rowena Street

Kenmore QLD 4069

Not far behind, priority number 2 has certainly been about family sized proportions! Don't be fooled by the very pretty single level appearance from the street, this very generously proportioned home is set over 3 levels and offers a very clever layout that will work perfectly for so many growing families now and into the future. Need something to suit blended families, multiple generations, grown up children or home-based businesses? This truly is the epitome of the forever home to suit the ever-evolving family needs.

And clearly priority number 3 was all about build quality and architectural style. No great surprise when the architect was also the owner! Built in 1971, this home is full of mid-century style materials and features such as the timber raked ceilings and the 2-way fireplace. Our seller not only project managed the build but has been the same person who has loved and maintained it since and has clearly been meticulous on both counts. I defy anyone to tell me different.

First time to the market ever, this Kenmore home is one to which there is absolutely no comparison and must be viewed in person to be fully appreciated.
