Sprawling Single-Level Family Home Chock Full of Character

One step past the darling white picket fence and a stroll under the front arbour will already give you a sense of the idyllic lifestyle that awaits you in this home - and it only gets better past the front door!

Built in 1971 by master builders Griffin & Knowlman out of sturdy brick and tile, the home has not only stood the test of time but also offers charm and character in veritable spades, from timber framed windows to original sliding doors framed in gorgeous silky oak. Meanwhile the original design has been enhanced over the years, with the addition of a seriously massive family room which flows seamlessly on from the kitchen and the open plan living / dining offering so much flexibility for a family of any size. And on the topic of upgrades: you will not be missing a single creature comfort with ducted air conditioning, new hard-wearing timber look floors and solar power plus a battery to keep the lights on while off grid, to name a few!

The bonuses don't even end there - because tucked away behind the carport and workshop you have a fully self-contained 1-bedroom unit complete with its own living, kitchen, bathroom (both powder room AND ensuite), laundry and sunroom! Keep the grandparents close without living in each other's pockets or otherwise sublet the space to help pay off the mortgage - the choice is yours! 

Finally, it would be remiss of me not to mention the outdoor lifestyle on offer here. Fully fenced with grassed lawns to front and back, enchanting cottage gardens throughout both yards plus a private grassed courtyard to the unit and plenty of covered entertaining space under the front patio, this property is the epitome of a lush, private Kenmore haven and enjoys views out over Pullenvale to the rear.

Single-level family homes of this size and finish are extremely rare and undoubtedly this will be in high demand in the current market - so get in quick!
