Gracefully positioned in one of Kennington's most tightly held and peaceful enclaves, this architect-designed residence captures the timeless beauty and craftsmanship of the Federation era while delivering the comfort and functionality demanded by modern family living.
Set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens on an impressive 1,039m² allotment, this distinguished home is rich in character, showcasing exceptional attention to detail from the moment you arrive. The striking façade, with its steeply pitched Colorbond roof, decorative gables, intricate brickwork and wraparound verandah, creates an unforgettable first impression.
Step inside and discover a home where classic elegance is celebrated at every turn. Soaring ceilings, ornate ceiling roses, deep decorative cornices, pine dado lining boards, double-hung sash windows, bay windows complete with timber fretwork and window seating, together with a stunning operational open fireplace featuring a handcrafted timber mantel and cast-iron grate, combine to create warmth, charm and timeless sophistication.
Designed with family living in mind, the home offers three generous bedrooms. The private main suite features a walk-in robe and beautifully appointed heritage-style ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms, each with built-in robes, occupy their own wing and are serviced by a central bathroom.
A richly detailed formal lounge provides the perfect retreat, while the expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen zone forms the true heart of the home. Filled with natural light and designed for effortless entertaining, this welcoming space flows seamlessly through French doors to the rear verandah and beautifully established gardens.
The country-inspired kitchen will delight the home chef, featuring bespoke timber cabinetry, a generous walk-in pantry, quality gas and electric cooking appliances, dishwasher and abundant bench space.
Outside, multiple alfresco and entertaining areas invite year-round enjoyment, whether hosting family celebrations, entertaining friends or simply relaxing amongst the peaceful gardens.
Practicality is equally impressive with a brick garage/workshop, carport, additional off-street parking, garden shedding and a thoughtfully designed laundry incorporating extensive storage, a study or sewing nook, and direct access to a dedicated drying courtyard.
