21 Gem Road, Kenmore QLD 4069

Beautiful, mesmerising, breathtaking, special, peaceful … pick a word, any word and they are all very apt embellishments for what is decidedly one of the loveliest homes to hit the Kenmore market for quite some time.

You don't even have to trust me on that-the pictures speak for themselves! Just one step beyond the quaint front door (complete with a downright darling stained-glass window) and you will find yourself in a stylish and fully renovated family home that is light, bright, and quite literally breathtaking with its sweeping views over Kenmore and out to Mt Coot-tha. Enjoy a cosy morning coffee on the back deck in the winter or throw open the bi-fold glass doors to let the breeze through in the summer-this home is to be enjoyed inside and out all year round!

And though the heart of the home is undoubtedly the massive open plan living / kitchen / dining space, boasting air conditioning, original timber floors that continue down the hallway to the 4 bedrooms, and a designer kitchen with an island bench that almost needs its own postcode and a butler's pantry-that's not all this home has to offer. Downstairs is a fully standalone granny flat, complete with its own living, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen with stovetop, oven and dishwasher to boot!* Whether it be for multiple generations of the family under one roof, a teenager experiencing growing pains, or as a sublet opportunity to help pay off the mortgage, this space is a fantastic bonus to an already stunning family home.

Speaking of the family-let the kids and pets charge about in the fully-fenced, flat grassed front yard and enjoy alfresco family dinners on the covered deck at the rear. Better still, high-performing Kenmore South State School is located within walking distance, while Kenmore's main shops and amenities are just minutes away by car.

Demand is high for spacious and beautifully finished family homes such as this and I promise you the auction for this home will be one to remember-provided it doesn't sell before then! Get in quick!
