From the moment you arrive at the front of No. 24 Kenilworth Road, you are sure to be impressed by the charm and character on display.
Set behind a manicured ‘English Style’ hedge covering a low iron fence and pedestrian gate leading to an exciting interior.
Step inside and immerse yourself with the beautiful contemporary décor which is complemented by rich polished Baltic floorboards.
The elegant, light-filled living room at the front of the home provides a decorative cast iron fireplace and feature-painted wall – a great room to chill and watch the ‘locals’ strolling past, through to the convenience of Glen Osmond Road at the end of the road.
Enjoy cooking up a storm in the chic kitchen, which is central to the home and includes a skylight to invite good natural light through. The striking kitchen provides ample storage with a 3-door pantry, appliance cupboard, good bench space, 2-person breakfast bar, charcoal-toned glass mosaic tiled splashbacks, gas stainless steel cooktop, stainless steel electric under-bench oven, stainless steel canopy rangehood, stainless steel bowl sink & a water filter.
The large bedroom also central to the home provides a roof window, fitted with a blind to filter the light & control the airflow. This area provides access to the ceiling space with standing room – the ideal attic storage can be created, simply add a drop-down ladder (subject to necessary approvals). A ‘contemporary-style’ timber-painted/frosted glass door closes the bedroom off from the hallway at the rear.
The ‘gallery style’ passage provides a blank canvas to display your favourite artwork, it is lined with solid bamboo flooring and there are low-voltage down-lights with a dimmer switch.
The groovy bathroom offers a traditional white cast-iron bath (shower over bath), white vanity, toilet & a matching (sliding) ‘contemporary style’ door to that in the bedroom.
A short distance to the kitchen is a light-filled open plan dining area, complete with tall glass sliding doors (+ screen door) opening to the stunning, private rear courtyard garden and entertaining area.
A cleverly designed laundry is tucked away behind 3-panel sliding doors, including 2 rows of shelving for linen/general storage.
You are sure to be excited by the well-designed ‘Kyoto style’ garden. The Owner spent a lot of time in Japan and was inspired to ulitize the space for an ‘outdoor experience’. There is good space to keep a pet or two (subject to approval by the Strata Corporation) - *Note: Most Owners have a small dog or cat.
The beautiful rear garden offers 4 well-placed rainwater tanks, 3 of which are plumbed to the entire home and can revert to mains, when required. There is a calming water feature and magnificent shaped Japanese box hedges. Steps lead from the entertaining area to the rear of the property, which includes a small garden shed (lined with pavers & offering power). There is an area alongside of the shed - ideal to house your rubbish bins. A pedestrian gate on the western boundary opens to a rear access driveway.
