Leafy Single Level Retreat in the Heart of Kenmore

Rainforest getaway meets low-maintenance dream with so much outdoor space for the kids - and just minutes from the shops, the park, and all the best Kenmore has to offer!

Tucked away amongst expansive, lush gardens at the end of a very quiet cul de sac, this home is so exceptionally private and serene that 'tranquil retreat' feels like an understatement. Adventurous kids will love delving through their very own tropical rainforest in the sprawling, flat back yard while you sit back and relax under the cabana by the pool and let the plants manage themselves without you having to lift a finger - unless your thumbs are green in which case the yard is your canvas! And though it's hard to believe from the peaceful surrounds, all this is just a short walk or even shorter drive to Kenmore Plaza, Akuna Street Parklands and public transport making it super convenient to boot!

Meanwhile the home is the perfect blend of classic and modern, tied up in a very easy living, single level package. Brick and tile construction promises great bones while original, mid-century character features including a stove-style fireplace and brick hearth bring so much warmth to the space. Add to this the sleek, modern kitchen, floating bamboo floors and the all-important air conditioning in all three bedrooms plus the living / dining, and you are not only set for the summer but set for a low effort high enjoyment lifestyle all year round!

The market for homes like this is already extremely competitive and coupled with the degree of privacy and convenience you are getting I expect you will not be the only one looking! Get in quick!
