This absolutely charming Kelvin Grove family residence is big in every way; set on grounds of 860sqm allowing you a private home set back from street with a large front and back yard. The home itself is also not only idyllic in nature but also enormous in size, with five bedrooms (or four plus a library), multiple living spaces, a study and three bathrooms, this residence can fit the largest of families.
For the investors and developers out there, the home was built post-war therefore potentially allowing removal of the house and redevelopment of the large site (subject to council approval) if you so wished. The block is approximately 20metres wide and just over 43metres deep with a gradual slope and current terracing beyond the main house.
