Picture this: A circa 1895-96 residence steeped in history and wrapped in the quiet elegance of a bygone era. Behind its gabled roofline and decorative timber fretwork lies one of Manning Street’s earliest homes. Today, the home stands as a beautifully preserved fragment of Kiama’s story, sitting proudly on a generous garden allotment.
Imagine: Light pouring through original sash windows, catching the curve of bay details added more than a century ago. Polished floorboards, tall ceilings and heritage fireplaces set the tone for slow mornings, thoughtful afternoons and restful evenings. Wander through the garden, hear the ocean on the breeze, and feel the pace shift as you move from vibrant coastal town life into the peace of your own historic home.
Dream of: Living moments from the buzz of Kiama Harbour, cafés, beaches and the Train Station, yet held gently in the privacy of a large, leafy block that feels worlds away from it all. A home with soul, story and significance: a place to renovate, restore or appreciate. A home rich in history, heart and possibility.
We’d love to introduce you.
Features include:
Heritage significance - held by the Kendall family for generations (1895–1933) and steeped in local history, this home (originally known as “Wallaroo”) was initially commissioned by Jane Elizabeth Kendall following the passing of her husband, William Rutter Kendall. Built on land once part of the original Kendall Estate, the property was purchased from her sisters-in-law, who lived next door in the historic Blake House. The Kendall family’s legacy remains woven through Kiama today, most notably in the naming of Kendalls Beach, just moments from the front door!
