79 Gilruth Road, Kenmore, Qld 4069

If you didn't read the title closely, it was a deliberate play on words. (As in the house is not just mid-century modern but mid-century AND modern!). And it is genuinely the best and only way to describe this generously proportioned and conveniently located family home. This is an original but recently renovated mid-century era home which has been cleverly paired with a very dramatic architecturally designed and significant extension. From the outside, positioned on a mostly flat, low maintenance block, the home makes a very striking style statement whilst inside the flow from old to new is virtually seamless. If you want to keep with the mid century "vibe", you could say the transition from old to new is smoother than a well-tuned vinyl record!

As it would be fair to expect, there is a lot of interior space here. The original portion of the home hosts open plan living and dining spaces complete with polished timber floors. The modern and fresh kitchen boasts plenty of storage and bench space. Further expansive living space to the front of the home is surrounded on 2 sides with plenty of louvres making is light, bright and airy. This level is completed with 3 bedrooms, one of which was the original master suite which enjoys its own walk-through robe and ensuite bathroom. 

The stylish extension offers an extremely large master bedroom with city and Mount Cootha views, ensuite bathroom, walk in robe and study plus a double carport with automatic roller door and all complete with the penultimate home appliance perfect particularly for older or mobile impaired family … a lift!!! Yes, you read that right, this home comes complete with an internal lift … I would suggest you need to visit this home just to see this in action!

There is undoubtedly plenty of house here making it perfect for so many family types and family members. Located in the heart of Kenmore close to Kenmore South State School, public transport, a huge range of shops, services, restaurants and parkland, is also sure to keep all of them delighted too. 

This one has to be seen to be believed AND fully appreciated. Make this an absolute priority to view ASAP.
