16 Royal Avenue

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Kennington, this stunningly renovated and extended post-war weatherboard home radiates timeless charm, contemporary style and effortless modern living. The transformation of the builder's own home is the result of a clear vision and a smart design combined with the use of premium materials. Set within a streetscape of similar vintage homes, honouring the home's facade was paramount for the renovation; however, everything beyond the facade has been reimagined and replaced to promote, family-focused living. The home features three spacious bedrooms with two sleek bathrooms both with underfloor heating, a study nook, and a large open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area. Stepping inside, you will be captivated by the natural light-filled interiors, flawless finishes, high ceilings and beautiful, polished Stringybark timber floors throughout the living and traffic areas. The central living area offers ample room for large-scale dining and relaxing. In the extended section of the home, the sense of space lingers with the continuation of the high ceilings and tall, well-placed windows. It includes the two remaining bedrooms (robes/ceiling fans/built-in desks) and a study nook. The main bathroom, a powder room, the storage-rich laundry all with stone benchtops. The kitchen is a showcase of bespoke matte green joinery. Stone benchtops and curved island. Featuring 900mm induction cooktop, oven and integrated dishwasher. Some of the high-end finishes evident throughout the home include charred Shou Sugi Ban cladding on the extension. All of the original weatherboards were replaced with fibre-cement weatherboards, which combined with the charred cladding and brickwork, make for a long lasting low maintenance home. Combining timeless weatherboard charm with an ultra-modern upgrade and exceptional outdoor living, this practically new home delivers space, style and an enviable inner-suburban lifestyle. It's perfect for all lifestyles - from families, professionals or downsizers.
