1 Gem Road, Kenmore QLD 4069

Study the pictures, analyse the floorplan, come and survey the land but whatever you do bring your imagination! Grandma has moved out and her cherished home is now set for renovation! A near blank canvas built in the 1960's by renowned local architects Griffin & Knowlman, this mid-century home offers the quality of build we know and love coupled with an entirely unique layout that works as well today as it did 50 years ago. Features of note include hard timber floors (untouched beneath the carpet), fireplace, corner block with dual street access and all on a flat, 713 sqm block. Anyone seeking the right Kenmore property at the right address must inspect. Terms negotiable to assist the buyer - auction day will be sale day.
