Listing description

About this property

Positioned in one of Kensington's most tightly held pockets, this classic Edwardian residence presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a character-rich home on a substantial allotment with exciting scope to enhance or extend (STCA). Behind its charming façade and established garden setting, the home reveals a generous and flexible floorplan defined by beautiful period detail. Soaring ceilings with ornate roses and decorative cornices, original timber floors, leadlight windows and multiple fireplaces create a warm and inviting sense of heritage throughout. The layout offers two spacious bedrooms complemented by multiple living zones, including a large central living room, separate dining domain and an adjoining kitchen and meals area. Toward the rear, a substantial sunroom provides additional versatility as a second living space, home office or creative zone, seamlessly connecting to the outdoor areas. The kitchen is functional and filled with natural light, while the bathroom and laundry are comfortably appointed, offering immediate livability with clear potential for modern transformation. Outdoors, a covered entertaining area and expansive paved courtyard are accompanied by additional storage and outbuildings, delivering both practicality and future flexibility. The deep allotment further enhances the opportunity to renovate, extend or reimagine entirely. Set within easy reach of Kensington Village, parklands, schools, public transport and the CBD, this is a rare offering combining period integrity, generous proportions and outstanding potential in a blue-chip inner-city location. A compelling Edwardian classic ready to be revived and reimagined for the future.
