Yes, you read that number in the title correctly - this block is absolutely MASSIVE even by Kenmore's generous standards! Set in what is by far one of the biggest yards I have ever seen in all my years as a Kenmore agent, this stunning 5 bed / 3 bath home enjoys a sense of space and privacy not often found in homes in such a convenient yet quiet location. And as you would reasonably expect, a block this size offers a golden opportunity for subdivision for either the savvy developer or the homeowner looking to have their cake and eat it too … which in this instance means subdivide, sell one portion for profit and retain the beautiful home on the other!
But it's not just about the amount of land you will have - it's also about the lifestyle you'll be enjoying once you set foot into the sprawling home at the heart of the property. From the open-plan living / dining complete with a wood-burning fireplace to keep things cosy in the cooler months ahead to the adjacent office and plumbed wet bar to the spacious chef's kitchen complete with oodles of stainless steel bench top and yet more living space throughout, this home is perfect both for the avid entertainer and the growing family alike!
Outside, the enormous yard is not only grassed and fully fenced to the back and side for the kids and the dog but ALSO features an in-ground swimming pool, cabana, established planting and covered patio at the back of the home to boot. Add to that the quiet cul de sac location is just a few minutes from all the best of Kenmore including shops, restaurants, amenities, schools and acres of parkland.
Although this is set to go to auction, our sellers are very open to offers and selling sooner so do not delay your inspection.
