Mid-20th Century Magic - 1,012m2!
An architect's own home often ranks amongst their finest work and this is the case at 16 Gilruth Road, Kenmore. Designed and built in 1961 by award winning architect Cecil F Hargraves, the property is being offered for sale for the first time.
'Hargraves House' is in near original condition and showcases many of the design elements and modernist features that enthusiasts truly love. Importantly, it is positioned beautifully on a flat, 1,012 square metres of north-facing land that has city skyline views. Whether your interest is in the architecture, the residence, or the land it sits on, the potential and possibilities here are simply outstanding.
The home is quite understated from the street, in fact some may not have given it much attention over the years, but don't be mistaken, within you'll find all that you're hoping to discover in a home of this era - wide hallways and gallery, good sized rooms, central atrium, floor-to-ceiling windows and doors, high ceilings, timber panelling, feature walls, pelmet lighting, open fireplace, use of glass and stone, and so much more. The garden has been landscaped to complement the home's overall design and incorporates structures, paving and planting to ensure living indoors or out will be attractive, easy and pleasurable all year round.
16 Gilruth Road is located in the very heart of family-friendly Kenmore where you'll be close to absolutely everything you need. In fact, you won't be far from anywhere here; Brisbane's CBD is less than 12ks from your front door, all the local schools are within walking distance and excellent shopping centres, restaurants, parks, services and amenities are nearby. There is a handy bus-stop a couple of doors down, and The Legacy Way Tunnel is nearby for quick and easy access to Brisbane's Airport.
Whilst many will be enamoured of the home, there will be others with a different vision for the property's future. The site is ideally suited to sub-division (subject to DA approval), or would be an excellent inner-Kenmore spot to build a substantial family home (perhaps dual occupancy). For some, land banking may be a consideration. Without any doubt, there are options aplenty here that'll be of interest to several different types of buyers.
16 Gilruth Road, Kenmore will be auctioned on Saturday, 5 June at 3pm sharp, on-site - if not sold earlier.
Be sure to inspect at your earliest opportunity - this one will impress and is too good to miss.
