| TUCKED away in an elite enclave of the Kenmore Hills is a beautiful former prize home near the Old Friary that has just hit the market. Ray White Indooroopilly elite agent Michelle McLeod said you could live like a king or queen there as the different wings of this immense home allowed you to spread out and enjoy. “Settling for second best when your family means so much to you is not what you have to do here at number 5 Friary Fields,” she said of 5/157 Brookfield Road, Kenmore Hills. “This is the exquisite and very generous home that once was the prize home for the Endeavour Foundation which is set over two levels of designer living. “You need to discover Friary Fields - with hectares of private parklands in a secure neighbourhood that is so welcoming with tree lined streets and such peace and serenity. The Old Friary has been owned and run by the Anglican Church in Brisbane since 1932 and while itis not a parish, it’s a special centre of the Anglican Church. The land was originally released in only eight units and homes were constructed surrounded by acres of private, exclusive parkland. The current owner Rod Wakefield said he fell in love with the house instantly but he said the time was right to let another family move in. “We knew the day we drove into this gated community that it was us,” he said. "The community spirit is demonstrated in so many ways through a great love of this special environment with planting trees, Christmas parties and so on. “When we entered the home at Lot 5 for the first time we were excited by the fabulous kitchen and the huge spaces, especially the bedrooms. “We had many celebratory events in this beautiful home - birthday parties and engagement parties. “It is so hard to leave but the children have grown up, married and have begun growing their own families and I have moved to the Sunshine Coast. “It is time for a new family to enjoy the very best that Friary Fields has to offer.” Expressions of Interest closes August 30 at 5pm. |
