About this property
Positioned on one of Kensington's most tightly held, tree-lined streets, this classic 1950s residence presents a rare opportunity to secure character, land, and versatility in one compelling offering. Set on a 544sqm green title allotment, the home has been thoughtfully enhanced with full fencing, fresh landscaping, reticulation, and a generous grassed rear yard creating a private and secure environment ideal for families, pets, and future plans. Privately positioned at the rear, a brand-new self-contained granny flat introduces a level of flexibility increasingly sought after. Whether utilised for extended family, guest accommodation, or as an additional income stream to offset the mortgage, it adds both lifestyle appeal and long-term value. The Residence | Warm Character, Everyday Comfort. Inside, the home retains its original soul, with classic features that celebrate its era, timber floorboards, leadlight windows, and high ceilings all contributing to a welcoming sense of warmth and charm. A front lounge has a fireplace that creates an inviting first impression, while the open-plan kitchen and dining area form a practical hub for daily living. The kitchen is well-positioned with gas cooking and offers scope to enhance over time. Two well-proportioned bedrooms are serviced by a central bathroom featuring a clawfoot bath, shower, and vanity, complemented by a second bathroom combined with laundry for added convenience. Additional features include split system air conditioning, ceiling fans, and a versatile sleepout, ideal as a playroom, home office, or creative space. Second Dwelling | Brand-New Granny Flat. Brand new and never occupied, the granny flat by Granny Flats WA showcases a fresh white weatherboard aesthetic, with elegant French doors opening into a fully self-contained living environment. Inside, a second kitchen, dining, and lounge create a seamless and functional layout, while the accommodation is completed by a generously sized bedroom with a walk-in robe and a private ensuite incorporating a laundry with direct outdoor access. The Outdoors | Space, Privacy & Potential. An elevated deck overlooks the expansive backyard, an inviting setting for entertaining or quiet relaxation. The family-sized lawn provides ample space for children and pets, with room to introduce a pool or extend the existing residence (STCA). The block's regular shape further enhances its appeal for future redevelopment or a bespoke new build. Endless Opportunity | Live, Invest or Reimagine. Move straight in and enjoy the home as it stands, lease both dwellings for dual income, or take advantage of the landholding to design and build your dream residence in this premium location while living comfortably in the brand-new granny flat. This is a property that adapts to your vision, whether immediate comfort, income generation, or long-term transformation. Lifestyle & Location | Kensington at Its Best.
