12 Lansdowne Road

Lee Smith & Bourkes are proud to present 12 Lansdowne Road, Kensington. This is a rare opportunity to secure a well-maintained character residence on a generous landholding in one of Kensington's most tightly held and in-demand streets. Positioned in a quiet, semi-cul-de-sac within a leafy, tree-lined streetscape, this home delivers immediate charm, functional family living and exciting future potential, appealing to a wide range of buyers from families to renovators and those seeking a premium landholding. Constructed in 1952 and thoughtfully extended by the current owner, the home showcases a flexible and well-considered layout, offering serious potential and the option of a fourth bedroom or separate front lounge, complete with glazed timber doors, a feature fireplace with tiled hearth, and the perfect setting for a home office or retreat. At its heart, an open-plan living and dining extension with high ceilings connects seamlessly to the outdoors, flowing onto a large covered alfresco and expansive backyard. The kitchen is well-equipped with gas cooktop, dishwasher, built-in cabinetry and wine storage, while the overall home is comfortable as is, with clear scope to further enhance over time. If you're a fan of character homes, you'll appreciate the detail and craftsmanship throughout, from the tuckpointed brickwork, picturesque verandah, and feature hallway frieze, through to the decorative elements that reflect the home's timeless appeal. The outdoor setting is equally impressive, with a magnificent Queensland Box tree as a garden centrepiece, complemented by an established lawn, creating a private and inviting environment for entertaining or relaxing. A true standout is the drive-through double carport and fully paved driveway leading to a substantial rear garage/workshop, complete with a service pit. This one is ideal for car enthusiasts, tradies or those requiring additional storage. With side access, there is also excellent flexibility for boat, caravan or trailer accommodation, a rare offering on the character homes. Set on a 544sqm green title allotment, this is a property where the location and landholding underpin long-term value, while still offering immediate liveability and future upside. Perfectly positioned within the Kensington Primary School catchment, and in close proximity to Wesley College and Penrhos College, you are also just moments from the Angelo Street café precinct, Swan River foreshore, and local favourites such as Little Banksia.
