SUMMARY
1880s Charm in a Coveted Precinct
DESCRIPTION
Auction Location: on site
In real estate, they say it's all about location, location, location, and this house epitomises it perfectly! Nestled in the heart of Kensington, surrounded by charming character homes and prestigious schools, and just a stone's throw from the Parade, this home offers unparalleled convenience and charm.
Dating back to around 1880, this Torrens Title sandstone-fronted symmetrical cottage with north facing rear has been lovingly maintained by its current owners for the past 18 years. Now, it awaits a new family to enjoy all it and the surrounding area has to offer.
On a easily maintained block of approximately 420 sqm, the home retains its original classic layout, featuring a central hallway adorned with ornate ceilings and an archway that leads to four main rooms. A rear extension houses a kitchen equipped with Kleenmaid appliances, an open-plan living and casual dining area, and a two-way bathroom with a corner spa bath and European-style laundry.
Currently configured with three spacious double bedrooms - two with built-in robes and ceiling fans, and the main bedroom with direct access to the bathroom - alongside a separate lounge warmed by a wall heater, the floorplan offers flexibility to suit your personal preferences.
Outside, the rear garden centres around a beautiful deciduous Manchurian Pear tree, providing shade in summer and allowing winter sun into the home. A large entertaining pergola with red brick paving maintains the home's traditional charm, offering a private and ideal space for entertaining, children's play, and pet security. Two garden sheds at the rear provide ample additional storage, while peach, lemon, and lime trees yield fresh fruit.
Additional features include:
- High ceilings (approximately 3.6m) with ornate detailing in the original home
- Baltic pine floorboards in the hallway, lounge, and Bedroom 2
- Carpet in Bedrooms 1 and 3
- Evaporative cooling and ducted gas heating throughout
- Ceiling fans in Bedrooms 1 and 3 and casual dining area
- Solar power (6.29kW Sunpower System - 17 panels)
- Double garage with automatic panel lift door
- Decorative iron bars on all windows for security
- Aluminum powder coated plantation shutters in all bedroom windows
With its captivating warmth and period charm, this stunning home enjoys a coveted location. Zoned for Marryatville Primary and Marryatville High Schools, directly across from Mary MacKillop College, and within walking distance of Pembroke School and Loreto College, it offers exceptional educational opportunities. A wealth of dining options, including the historic Rising Sun Inn and Kensington Hotel, are just a short stroll away, as is the bustling Parade with its myriad attractions. Leaving your car at home is simply the way to go!
Such an opportunity doesn't often present itself in the heart of Kensington. You don't want to miss this one!
