74 Gilruth Road, Kenmore QLD 4069

Epic house, epic block, epic location … its all quite simply EPIC especially the extraordinarily expansive view which takes in Mount Coot-tha right across to the CBD! Clearly, I am more than a little excited but let me use a few more glowing adjectives to explain why …

Sleek and sophisticated but with just the right amount of quirk and character, even from the street you know that this is going to be something more than just your ordinary family home. Architecturally designed with a clear leaning towards mid-century style and with a plentiful use of quality materials throughout from hardwood timbers floors to statement timber panelled ceilings. Internally, the generous proportions and layout are perfect for growing or even multi-generational families while the striking but simple exterior to the front ensures privacy from the street but is beautifully counterbalanced by a very clever and extensive use of glass to the rear dramatically amplifying the effect of the view from almost every room.

A large 873sqm corner block with wide frontage to both Gilruth Road and Belsize Street*, the fully fenced rear yard offers loads of space for kids to run around and play. Add a very substantial inground pool, a covered deck leading from the house and a second shaded deck next to the pool and you have a property that is very much all about enjoying the best outdoor lifestyle that Queensland has to offer.

But there is a lot more to this property than meets the eye. Whilst in very much in move-in condition, this property also offers a tremendous opportunity to those looking to renovate to create a prestige property either for profit or as the family home. Clever modifications such as enclosing the carport, building in under the house or making some simple tweaks to the existing layout could result in a significant return on investment either now or into the future. What's more, with the house positioned to the front of this large block, further development of the block to the rear may also be worth investigating. **

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this house will excite strong buyer interest and will be sold quickly. Be very speedy to view.
