Last Listing description (August 2023)
OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED
Don't be deceived by the sweet but simple exterior, this one packs more punches than you would expect. Starting with a clever single level layout that offers generous proportions and is mostly oriented to enjoy the back yard and the expansive views at the rear with the living, master suite and sitting room / bed 4 all opening out onto the large, covered patio. The flat back yard is perfect for kids' games and if not quite enough space, the Kenmore State School oval literally is a hop, skip and a jump beyond the kids will never complain that they don't have enough room!
Full of original mid-century features including the brick fireplace and very funky bath in the ensuite (amazingly it barely looks like it's ever been used!), this home is 100% character and charm absolutely smothered in double cream! Meanwhile it offers that happy mix of move-in-ready condition with plenty of opportunity to renovate to your own taste over time.
And if you need to grab some pudding to go with the double cream, the shops are literally within walking distance. In fact, almost every convenience that Kenmore has to offers is within walking distance shops, restaurants, not 1 but 3 schools, public transport, doctors, library you name it and it will probably take you all of 5 minutes to walk there!
And there is a lot more to love about this one but I recommend you see it in person. Between the house and the location, this one will be super popular, so I highly recommend viewing without delay.

THE LOCATION
Positioned on a quiet street with minimal through traffic and backing onto the Kenmore State School oval, this property offers a lovely aspect from the rear and the patio and great additional space for the kids to play;
Located in a small and little-known pocket behind Kenmore State School, the convenience and access to Kenmore's central business, transport and shopping district is second to none - including Kenmore Coles, Mitre 10, medical centres, gyms, restaurants and the council library;
High ranking Kenmore High School is an easy 10 minute walk while Kenmore State School and OLR primary school are a literal hop, skip and a jump away;
An abundance of excellent private schools are within a 10-20 minute drive including BBC, St Peters, Brigidine, St Aidan's and Ambrose Treacy College. Many school buses depart from Kenmore Village;
A mere 400m walk to bus stops servicing multiple bus routes to Indooroopilly Shopping Centre and the CBD.
