If there is one piece of advice I can give to first home buyers it is to always keep an eye out for "location, location, location" - and in the case of this charming, recently refreshed home that location is quite literally second to none!
I am not exaggerating when I say that you have everything you could possibly need within just a few minutes' walk here. Literally one minute on foot to acres of leafy parkland at the end of the street, two minutes to fantastic cafes and restaurants on Wongabel Street, and less than 5 minutes to Kenmore Plaza just on the other side of Moggill Road complete with supermarkets, Kenmore Tavern, bottle shops, amenities, yet more restaurants, regular bus routes to the city, UQ and Indooroopilly Shopping Centre and so much more than I realistically have the space to tell you about but all spell capital C for convenience with a laid back lifestyle to boot!
And that is before even mentioning the home itself! Very recently refreshed with new carpet throughout but still loaded with original character such as the high vaulted ceilings and statement timber panelling, this home seamlessly blends the classic with the modern into one super liveable single-level package. Meanwhile you have plenty of options for outdoor living, with covered decks to the front and the side as well as a massive flat back yard that could easily allow for a future extension to the house or the addition of a pool!
The market for entry level and first home buyers in Kenmore has been particularly competitive in recent months and coupled with the highly desirable location this property offers I expect it will not last long on the market! Hurry in while you can!
