Overview

A 1970s Unit, Quietly Reimagined

One of just seven homes in a quiet Kensington Gardens group, this 1970s revitalised unit sits in a well-regarded eastern suburbs pocket, close to parks, schools and everyday amenities, with the CBD an easy drive away. Behind its classic façade with arched garage entry and Colonial-style bay windows, the home opens into a simple, light-filled north-facing layout with solid timber floors and an easy connection between living, kitchen and outdoor space. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home, finished with stone benchtops, white cabinetry and Bosch appliances - designed for easy everyday living. Living and dining is open plan, with an abundance of natural light from the large bay windows, forming the main shared space of the home. At the rear, a north-facing courtyard opens up under an established passionfruit vine climbing the boundary fence, and paved patio perfect for a quiet morning coffee Two bedrooms sit quietly within the layout, both with built-in storage, making the home a solid fit for downsizers, first-home buyers or investors looking for a low-maintenance base in a sought-after suburb.
