Discover your own slice of history with this divine 3-bedroom (c1922) Bungalow nestled on a 557sqm (approx) allotment with a desirable North-facing rear. Wonderfully positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac between Thornton and Bridge Streets, this property offers a serene escape in the heart of historical Kensington Village.
Behind verdant high-fenced privacy, an appealing white facade with its neat landscaping welcomes you to a superbly updated return-verandah bungalow revealing big rooms, deep skirtings, soaring ceilings and an airy palette of white interiors highlighted by black accents. Polished original pine flooring sweeps down a central hallway past the three double bedrooms - two are fitted with built in robes and each feature quality drapes with soft romantic sheers and bold sculptural overhead fans.
The casually elegant central lounge room also steps out to the grassed western side of the home and flows into the sky-lit kitchen/dining zone that shines with its island bench (smoothly portable), extensive white custom cabinetry, sleek prep areas, ripple-tiled splash-back and a suite of Bosch appliances including elevated stainless steel oven, induction cooktop and dishwasher, a walk-in
pantry, and picture window gazing out to lush green lawns.
The fully-tiled bathroom flaunts chic black hardware and large shower with tiled bench seat; while the laundry enjoys generous bench space, storage and outdoor access (complete with pet door).
Unwind and dine on the rear verandah under the extended covered patio where you can relax, protected from the elements, while looking across the broad lawn bordered by quality fencing with tree plantings and established shrubs that ensure an everlasting sense of privacy and tranquillity. This grassy expanse of land offers plenty of space for children to play and also opens up a world of possibilities - e.g. install a swimming pool, trampoline, play equipment, soccer net, etc.
