In fact, dare I say, the best entry level buying in Kenmore for first home buyers, investors and new home builders, and that's just for starters. In a nutshell, this entry level property has something for everyone. Let me break it down for you …
If you are looking for a new home, especially as a first-time buyer, the house itself offers more than a little space with an open plan living / dining upstairs plus 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, you are already getting far more bang for your buck than most houses in the lower price bracket in Kenmore. But wait, there is of course more … downstairs offers further space with a bathroom and external access which would be perfect for those that want to work from home, get a lodger to help pay the bills or a media room. And as for the potential … anything from a tin of paint to adding an upstairs deck with expansive views at the rear would all add remarkable value to this property.
With the house well positioned on the block, there is a substantial, mostly flat and fully fenced back yard which our current sellers have clearly enjoyed as a kids' paradise with plenty of room for trampoline, cubby house and ball games but would equally be a fantastic blank canvas for gardeners or caravan storage. What's more, our sellers have invested a cool $30k in new driveway and parking bays to allow for loads of off-street parking.
All of the above, paired with its super convenient location close to shops, Kenmore State School and public transport, of course makes it a fantastic investment opportunity as well. Rental appraisal available on request.
But if it's that new home vibe you are chasing, then this property is definitely worth a look. In my opinion, make the most of that $30k driveway and position the new house in the current back yard and create your garden in the front.
No matter what your property plans, this one needs to be viewed in person to understand the possibilities.
