Offered to the market for the very first time, this much-loved circa-1939 family residence represents a remarkably rare opportunity to secure a character-filled home on a substantial 1,034sqm landholding in the heart of Nedlands.
Held within the same family across generations, 16 Kinninmont Avenue is a home with a genuine sense of history. Beautifully preserved and remarkably original, it provides a wonderful glimpse into the craftsmanship of its era, while presenting its next owners with an exciting opportunity to write the next chapter.
Beyond its charming street presence and distinctive curved entrance, the home's period character unfolds through beautiful leadlight glazing, ornate plaster ceilings and decorative cornices, rich timber doors, architraves and joinery, original fireplaces and an array of lovingly preserved details that are increasingly difficult to find.
Generous proportions continue throughout, with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, spacious living and dining areas and a functional kitchen featuring extensive timber cabinetry. A substantial family and meals area is warmed by a combustion fireplace, while additional living spaces provide the flexibility so valuable to family life.
Outside, the scale of the 1,034sqm block really comes into its own. Established lawns and gardens surround the residence, creating an increasingly rare sense of space and privacy, while a separate games room/workshop provides further flexibility for families, hobbies or storage.
Comfortable and well cared for in its current form, the home offers enormous potential for its next chapter. For those with an appreciation for character architecture, this is an outstanding opportunity to sympathetically renovate and extend, celebrating its period character, or alternatively, to create a landmark new family residence on a substantial landholding in one of Nedlands' most tightly held pockets, subject to relevant approvals.
