Overview
Set in the tranquil streets of inner west Kensington, this elegant Victorian residence offers a harmonious blend of period character and modern convenience. Its serene location, just minutes from the CBD, creates a peaceful environment rarely found so close to the city.
The home's thoughtful renovation introduces a second-storey loft master suite, an expansive retreat featuring vaulted ceilings and large west-facing windows that allow abundant natural light. This upper-level sanctuary boasts both built-in and walk-in robes, alongside a stylish ensuite with a bathtub and frameless shower, designed for comfort and privacy.
Original architectural details such as high ceilings, ceiling roses, and decorative mouldings have been lovingly preserved downstairs, complemented by rich spotted gum flooring that adds warmth throughout. The formal front bedroom benefits from soft northern light filtered through shutters and includes a reproduction fireplace and built-in robes, making it ideal as a guest room or study. The second bedroom, suitable for children, retains original period features, contributing to the home's inviting ambiance.
The kitchen is well-appointed with Caesarstone benchtops, a generous pantry, and space for a double fridge, alongside high-quality Fisher & Paykel appliances including an induction cooktop and dishwasher. Fine fixtures such as Sussex taps and Grohe showerheads underscore the attention to detail.
The living spaces enhance functionality and lifestyle with a vaulted ceiling living room featuring a Heat & Glo gas log fire and built-in speakers, seamlessly extending to a private courtyard and carport. Dining areas are brightened by a lightwell courtyard, creating a harmonious indoor-outdoor flow perfect for entertaining.
Security and comfort are well catered for with an Inception alarm system, remote locking, cameras, ducted heating, and split-system air conditioning. Tandem off-street parking accommodates two vehicles via a sealed laneway, adding to the appeal for professionals or young families seeking low-maintenance luxury and privacy.
