Overview

Located in the quiet and sought-after eastern pocket of Kensington Gardens, this contemporary unit offers a practical and elevated lifestyle appealing to a wide range of buyers including first home buyers, professionals, couples, and downsizers. The street-facing cream brick exterior is distinguished by charming French-style windows that frame the façade elegantly.

The single-level floorplan ensures ease of navigation and low maintenance, with no stairs to negotiate. The bright front lounge welcomes residents and guests, featuring original polished hardwood flooring, a projecting bay window that enhances natural light, and a decorative fireplace that adds character. This space blends visually with the adjacent kitchen and meals area through a well-placed servery, allowing for social interaction while preserving distinct living zones.

The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with profiled shaker cabinetry, dark grey speckled benchtops, and a bevelled gloss white tiled splashback that fosters a fresh and practical environment. Cooking appliances include a gas cooktop and an underbench oven, complemented by a stainless-steel sink with drainer and a concealed rangehood, all arranged efficiently without crowding the meals area. There is also a dedicated refrigerator niche for convenience.

Both bedrooms provide comfort with soft grey carpeting and mirrored built-in robes that maximise storage without disrupting clean design lines. The renovated bathroom offers modern touches such as a frameless curved shower screen, marble-effect full-height shower tiling, gloss white wall tiles, an arched mirror, and chrome fittings. A crisp white vanity with integrated basin and a toilet complete the space with simplicity and style.

Additional comfort is provided through coolair ducted evaporative cooling, a Fujitsu split system air conditioner in the lounge, and ceiling fans in the bedrooms. The elongated carport, secured by an automatic roller door, doubles as an alfresco entertaining area and adds to the property's security. The internal laundry with rear access further enhances functionality.

The property benefits from a concrete driveway allowing off-street parking and established front lawn with mature trees, creating a welcoming green outlook. Its low-fuss nature coupled with local shops, ALDI supermarket, cafes, and transport links in close proximity enhances appeal, particularly for those seeking convenience.
