Classic charm and contemporary flair come together in this unique former shopfront (complete with sidewalk awning) to deliver a remarkable lifestyle of family proportions in one of Kensington’s most revered tree-lined streets.
Cleverly extended and tastefully enhanced, the home’s refined interior showcases three bedrooms (large master with full-width custom robes) complemented by a stylish double-shower ensuite and period-inspired main bathroom with clawfoot tub. Adding to the allure is a central lounge (or dining) flowing through to the light-filled open living/meals area adjoined by a stone-bench kitchen with island breakfast bar, Smeg appliances and butler’s pantry with second sink. Along with ducted heating/refrigerated cooling, high ornate ceilings and polished concrete floors, this period prize also includes a full-size laundry and attic storage space via retractable ladder. Bi-folds from the living reveal a private yard with extensive decking making it ideal for relaxing or entertaining, plus the unique advantage of a remote-control double garage accessed via the rear ROW.
Walking distance to both Kensington and Macaulay train stations (different lines) along with village cafes, Racecourse Road trams, shops and supermarkets, it’s also close to the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail, as well as easy access to Citylink.
