354 Kensington Road,
Erindale 5066, South Australia

A classic c.1925 Kensington Road estate of impeccable condition - testament to incredible foundations, strong footings, and irreplaceable craftsmanship that belie its century-old placement - No. 354 offers a breathtaking blueprint to re-inspire and revitalise with sought-after grandeur and stately character.

Near all-original with only minor sympathetic updates that sees the main bathroom renovated in the 90's in heritage style featuring tessellated tiles, and a seamless second living area embracing verdant backyard views; what remains is a resplendent footprint ready for bright new beginnings. From its grand return-verandah portico and lofty entrance hall with original 11 foot ornate ceilings & cornices, stretching into the formal lounge, sitting room, main bedroom and dining rooms; the timeless appeal of such elegant decadence cannot be overstated.

Providing 4-bedrooms and a central bathroom & seperate laundry, the scope to reconfigure with architectural ambition will entice those in search of the most generous canvas capable of capturing that coveted transition of yesteryear grace with designer feature, function, and form. Supported by a dependable base and engineered extension, the potential to add a sweeping second floor instantly elevates this property well-above its like-minded neighbours (STCC).

A home that harnesses all the ingredients for a splendid if not spectacular transformation, and where lush front and rear gardens, sunbathed private lawns, along with fruit-laden trees will advance the landscaping vision while maintaining a vital sense of residential beauty.

An exclusive opportunity that needs little encouragement, combined with prized positioning in the heart of Adelaide's blue-ribbon east putting you footsteps from scenic parks and reserves, arm's reach to elite public and private schools, as well as local shops at your fingertips or descend upon bustling cosmopolitan bliss at Burnside Village or Parade Norwood… this Erindale enclave has all the makings of something truly magnificent.
