Overview

Spacious and Sunny with Great Garaging!

Viewing by appointment welcomed anytime **Please note for open home access, Barr Street is under 24/7 one way temporary traffic control, entry to Barr Street is from Kenmure Road or Kaikorai Valley Road** Held in the same ownership since 1989, this much-loved family home is offered to the market for the first time in over 30 years. Set in an elevated and private position, it enjoys excellent sun, peaceful surroundings and lovely valley and rural outlooks. Built in the 1970s with solid concrete block and split-block construction, the home offers a generous floor plan of approximately 280sqm, ideal for family living. Warm timber accents and 1970s charm are standout features, beginning with the practical covered front porch and continuing through to the tiled foyer and striking warm timber staircase that anchors the home and creates an immediate sense of character. Upstairs, the open staircase leads to multiple spacious living areas and three well-proportioned bedrooms. Two large living spaces provide flexibility, open for relaxed family living or close them off to create two distinct areas when needed. The kitchen is open plan with the dining area, which in turn flows seamlessly into the front lounge. From the main lounge, doors open out to a sunny deck, perfect for enjoying the elevation, sunshine and expansive views across the valley and rural landscape. The layout is well suited for families with a modern bathroom with bath and shower, a separate toilet and updated laundry, all recently refreshed. The three bedrooms are accessed off the hallway and include built-in storage. The home benefits from excellent solar gain and is easily heated with two heat pumps, supported by ceiling and floor insulation. Downstairs, the layout continues to impress. From the tiled foyer, the garage is positioned to the right, offering internal access to a generous double garage with two automatic doors. To the left of the foyer is a substantial workshop, storage and utility room, a highly functional space with exceptional storage. This area loops beneath the staircase and connects through to the garage. There is also ample off-street parking for two to three vehicles. The family-sized section is a real highlight, featuring beautiful established native planting, a flat and sunny lawn area ideal for children and pets, and a greenhouse for those with green thumbs. The home includes a modern bathroom, separate toilet and updated laundry, all recently refreshed. The three bedrooms are accessed off the hallway and include built-in storage. Located in the ever-popular suburb of Kenmure, with Balaclava Primary School just metres down the road, this is a home that truly ticks the boxes, space, sun, privacy, solid construction and location. It’s easy to see why the vendors have happily called this home for more than 30 years.
