970 Moggill Road Kenmore, QLD 4069

If you've been waiting for an affordable way into Kenmore, 970 Moggill Road could very well be it.

Yes, it has a main road address, but before you scroll past, there's something you need to know. A slip road takes you safely off Moggill Road to allow easy exit and entry to the property, meaning the house sits well back from the road, tucked behind another home which provides both a surprisingly effective sound barrier, and incredible privacy!

Inside, the difference is remarkable - you simply don't hear the road the way you may have imagined with such a location, nor are you bothered by pedestrian or neighbourhood passers-by.

And that makes what sits behind it all the more interesting.

On 761sqm, this is a genuine choose-your-own-adventure property. The existing 1960s home is perfectly liveable and, importantly, plenty of its original character remains - terrazzo floors, hardwood timbers and walls of full-height, timber-framed glass that bring in an extraordinary amount of light and give the house that unmistakable mid-century feel. For someone with the imagination to work with what's already here, there's the basis for a really interesting renovation.

For first home buyers, that might mean simply moving in and improving it as time and budget allow. For those with bigger plans, there is scope here to exercise your creativity and renovate to make the home truly your own. Or, perhaps the house has done its job and the real prize is the land - remove it and start again with a new home of your own design, or investigate whether the site has further development potential (STCA).

The house itself offers three bedrooms plus a study / 2nd living upstairs, two distinct living areas downstairs, plus a kitchen, separate dining area, internal laundry, covered outdoor entertaining and plenty of storage. The kitchen, carpets and internal paint were updated in 2014, so while there is room for improvement, you don't have to do it all on day one.

First home buyers, renovators, builders and anyone who has watched Kenmore prices climb and wondered when their opportunity might come along - this one deserves a look.
