Perched atop one of the highest points in Kensington – and also benefitting from some of the best views that the suburb has to offer, this gorgeous 3 bedroom 1 bathroom art-deco-style home captures the essence of an era renowned for its timeless design, whilst also sitting pretty on a spacious 815sqm (approx.) block in an incredible location.
Soaring high ceilings and charming character features are commonplace throughout, as you step into a world where architectural elegance meets a sweeping uninterrupted vista to savour, for many years to come. Off the entry porch lies a massive master bedroom, opposite a huge second bedroom that has a feature fireplace and double doors for extra peace and quiet.
A second fireplace can be found within the adjacent separate living room, right next to the formal-dining room, a separate casual-meals area and the connecting kitchen. The meals nook in fact enjoys double-door access out to a spacious rear balcony entertaining deck with amazing tree-lined views across to the Perth city skyline and even the famous WACA Ground light towers.
The funky kitchen has been updated over time to include Herringbone-tiled splashbacks, double sinks, a water-filter tap, a stainless-steel Bosch dishwasher, a stainless-steel range hood and free-standing stainless-steel 900mm-wide Ilve gas-cooktop/oven combination.
Brilliant in its simplicity is a practical, yet stylish, bathroom with a rain/hose shower, toilet and vanity. A separate third bedroom opens out to another back terrace/balcony and adds another versatile living option to the residence. A separate storage area is simply an added bonus and works well as a fantastic cellar, if you are that way inclined.
There is heaps of room for a future swimming pool on the property, amidst beautiful gardens, verdant green backyard lawns and plenty of paved courtyard space. Enjoy a game of family cricket comfortably, without worrying about balls clearing your neighbours’ fences.
On a premium block such as this one, all of the hard work has already been done for you, in terms of retaining and levelling. The option of building a second storey and extending the existing house shouldn’t be underestimated either – it’s completely up to you.
Bus stops and lush local parks can be found only metres away from your front doorstep, as can Kensington Primary School. Prestigious private schools in Wesley College and Penrhos College are also nearby, along with the Kensington Montessori School, the ever-popular The Little Banksia café, Kent Street Senior High School, the buzzing Albany Highway food and coffee precinct, multiple shopping centres and the picturesque South Perth foreshore, overlooking our glistening Swan River waters.
This opportunity – and the desirable lifestyle that comes with it – is one you simply do not want to pass on. Something special awaits you, from within these very walls!
