18 Tarbet Street, Kenmore QLD 4069

I don't know if it's the weatherboard exterior, the hand-made patchwork quilts on the beds or the amazing climbing tree in the backyard but there is a warmth and quirkiness about this house that summons up the best of a time before everyone became engrossed in screens … kid's parties with fairy bread in the rumpus room, games of tiggy in the back yard, family dinners at the dining table followed by homemade apple pie and fresh cream. Maybe its just me but this is definitely a house worthy of calling home and clearly one worth a visit.

Built in 1960 and first time ever to the market, this much-loved 3 bed family home is full of original character features, includes a fantastic back yard perfect for kids and pets, offers loads of opportunity to easily update or expand over time to accommodate your growing family needs and all in a very desirable part of Kenmore on a quiet street within walking distance of Kenmore State School. Let me elaborate -

CHARACTER FEATURES - This home has been both well-loved and well-maintained meaning that all of these features are in great conditions -
• Timber floors (just tear up the carpet to expose the timber floors);
• Timber panelling & built in cupboards & shelves;
• Timber casement windows;
• Timber framed French doors;
• Raked ceilings;
• Weatherboard exterior.

OUTSIDE SPACE -
• 718sqm block;
• House set to the front of the block means that the back yard is huge. Add a pool and still have plenty of grassed yard for the kids to run around;
• Not fully fenced but mostly fenced. Certainly won't take much to make the back yard perfect for the new family puppy!;
• Water tank;
• Private, fully fenced courtyard with raised garden beds makes for the perfect spot for your morning coffee;
• Elevated balcony to the rear overlooking the garden makes for the perfect spot to watch the children play while enjoying your evening aperitif;
• Arguably the best climbing tree in Kenmore!

OPPORTUNITY -
• This home is in very liveable condition but a simple refresh with paint, flooring, lighting etc would go a long way in this home OR …
• Let your imagination go wild! Just for starters the downstairs utility area is 2.75m high and offers a fantastic opportunity for new living space, bedroom etc. But there is just such a tremendous range of opportunities to add to and expand this home over the years to add value and allow for a growing family;
• And while it would break my heart, the opportunity to knock down and rebuild a new home in such a tranquil yet convenient location is also something to seriously consider.

LOCATION -
• Tarbet Street is interrupted by minimal through traffic or noise yet is virtually in the heart of Kenmore;
• Literally 950m walk from the back entrance of catchment primary Kenmore State School and also within walkable range of catchment Kenmore High which is 1.8km away;
• An abundance of excellent private schools are also within a 10-20 minute drive including BBC, St Peters, Brigidine and Ambrose Treacy College;
• The Gilruth Road bus stop servicing buses to Indooroopilly Shopping Centre and CBD is a short 250m walk;
• And at the end of Marshall Lane only a 4-minute drive away is Kenmore Plaza complete with Woolworths, Aldi, specialty shops and restaurants plus the very popular Kenmore Tavern while in the opposite direction is Kenmore Village including Coles, Mitre 10, BCC library, medical centre and many, many other services and shops.

Don't make me have to be so cliché as to implore you to be quick to view! Just do it!
