8 Wallawa Street, Kenmore QLD 4069

Spacious Family Home with Tranquil Parkland Views and Endless Possibilities

Say goodbye to looking out the front door and straight into the neighbours' living room - this home positioned in a quiet no-through road faces nothing but a long stretch of lush green parkland, promising a leafy aspect and plenty of outdoor activities right on your doorstep!

And that's before you even cross the threshold! Solid brick and tile construction, original hardwood floors and timber framed windows meet a veritable laundry list of practical touches in the 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, multiple living spaces, and modern kitchen, giving you the freedom to either move right on in or reconfigure the home to suit a myriad of family needs and configurations. Not to mention the tiled downstairs (with 2.4m "legal height" ceilings) which is in equal parts perfect as a granny flat for a multi-generational family or as a sublet opportunity to help pay off the mortgage!

Outside you have yet more flexibility for a variety of lifestyles. Barbeque on the timber deck by the poolside in the summer, take advantage of the home's northerly aspect and morning sunshine for a coffee on the upstairs balcony in the winter, and green those thumbs in the charming cottage garden while the kids race around on the grassed lawn to the back all year round. And don't be fooled by the peaceful surroundings - the home is very conveniently located just a hop, skip and a jump from catchment primary Kenmore South, sports fields, and bike paths to the city, with shops, amenities, restaurants and more just a few minutes' drive up the road!

Family homes offering this much lifestyle in such an excellent location are few and far between at present so you are guaranteed it will be quickly snapped up. Be very quick to view!
