Property details

Discover the Charm of this Cottage Treasure!

Under Instructions from the Executors of the Estate.

Discover the innate charm of this gorgeous attached 2-bedroom cottage located in a coveted pocket of historic Kensington. Surrounded by other character residences, it perfectly suits the requirements of downsizers, couples or singles seeking close proximity to The Parade, as well as an array of the area's best amenities.

Behind a pretty picket fence, the traditional bullnose verandah captures the Northern sun and makes a delightful introduction to this timelessly appealing 1890s gem where the home's interiors have been respectfully updated and extended over the years, so that original aesthetics and contemporary flair combine to deliver an alluring single level sanctuary.

Rustic timber floorboards flow through the original footprint of the house where the arched passage sweeps past the front main and second bedroom (currently presented as a dining room). Both rooms feature charming open fireplaces book-ended by built-in robes/cupboards.

French doors open from the passage into the central kitchen - stylishly updated with classic white cabinetry, stainless steel benchtops, hardware, Westinghouse oven, rangehood and dishwasher. The modern, fully-tiled, sparkling white bathroom/laundry with walk-in shower, w.c. and vanity offers ample storage in the full-width built-in cupboard.

The rear living room extension - a warm and inviting room, is enhanced by sections of exposed stone and a wall of glazing opening to a fully decked backyard. Pocket-sized and featuring a lemon tree, it is low maintenance, private and perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining.

Promising both character and comfort, features include:-
• Split-system air conditioners in second bedroom/dining & rear living room
• Skylights in second bedroom/dining room, kitchen & bathroom
• Original timber flooring in passage & bedrooms
• Slate flooring at rear of home
• Walk-in pantry
• Solar panels x 8 (1.5kW approx)
• Secure auto-doored carport accessed from rear lane

At home amongst other vintage beauties of this historic, tightly-held pocket of Kensington Village, this cottage treasure has it all within a walk. Delight in its rich history and treasured National Trust buildings, including the character-laden Rising Sun Inn (c1845) still trading down the road. The popular Lune Wine Bar, cafes and bus stops are an easy stroll away, together with the vibrant shopping and dining precinct of Norwood Parade, or it's just a few minutes' commute or quick bus trip into the City.

Enjoy the fabulous lifestyle on offer here, with everything you need within easy reach!
