40 Merlin Terrace

Set back and elevated in one of Kenmore's most walkable pockets, this north-facing family home on 678m² delivers what buyers consistently ask for but rarely find together: genuine separation of living zones, district views toward Mount Coo-tha, and the kind of location where school runs, village cafes, and express city buses are all measured in minutes on foot. The floorplan works across two distinct levels, a layout that answers the brief for multi-generational living, working from home, or simply giving a busy household room to spread out without compromise. Downstairs can also function as its own self-contained zone with separate entry , lounge, two bedrooms with built-in robes, and a modern bathroom complete with bath. Upstairs, the main living level opens to a generous north-facing balcony with treetop outlooks and natural light that floods through to the kitchen, dining, and lounge. The kitchen delivers on the fundamentals with Caesarstone benchtops, 5-burner gas cooktop, dual sinks, and proper pantry storage, while a separate casual TV room gives the family a second retreat. Three bedrooms upstairs all include built-in robes and ceiling fans, with the main offering air conditioning, a walk-in robe, and a contemporary ensuite. Outside, a covered entertaining area overlooks a flat, fully fenced backyard with genuine grass space, side access, and a tool shed, the kind of usable outdoor setup that actually gets lived in.
