19 Holdway Street,
Kenmore 4069, Queensland

In my humble opinion, this is the best renovation of a mid-century home in Kenmore to come to the market in like … ever! There is not a square inch to repair or even a blade of grass to tweak. This is unequivocally the pure definition of a move-in-ready family home that just oozes style in a mid-century fashion but with a very modern twist. Electrics, plumbing, asbestos removal, drainage, all doors and windows, from floor to roof, everything is new or restored to an exceptional standard. Meanwhile the layout has been adapted and very much extended to create a house that literally speaks to the modern, post-Covid family … generous living and bedroom spaces, exceptional outdoor alfresco with built in BBQ station and bar fridges, state of the art modern kitchen, brand new pool, brand new garage and loads of additional room for a home-based business, hobbies, gym or separate granny flat.

I challenge any buyer to fault this property … even the location is great! Quiet with minimal through traffic and expansive views, Holdway Street is literally a short walk to the best that Kenmore has to offer from Kenmore Plaza to Wongabel Street cafes and restaurants and plenty of public transport.

If you think I over-exaggerate, then I can merely recommend in the strongest terms coming to view as quickly as possible and appreciating this home for yourself. As always, this property is going to auction because our sellers are 110% committed to selling which means they are very much open to offers prior.

INSIDE THE HOUSE
• Built in the late 50's by Kenmore's favourite architect's, Griffin and Knowlmann, this home has retained many of it's original mid-century features such as the internal atrium above the stairs or been sympathetically added to with new materials of the mid-century era such as terrazzo tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms;
