Positioned in a quiet, tree-lined pocket of Kensington's inner-city fringe, this 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom residence blends period character with practical single-level living, offering rewarding potential for renovators, first-home buyers, and investors seeking value in a prized location.
Original character shines throughout. The spacious living room showcases decorative cornicing, beautiful stained-glass windows, and an open-arch transition to the kitchen and dining zone. Natural light flows through multiple aspects, while built-in shelving in the hallway and a decorative fireplace in the first bedroom add period authenticity. Split system heating and cooling ensures year-round comfort.
Two well-proportioned bedrooms sit at the front of the home. The second bedroom features a walk-in robe, while both rooms offer generous proportions and natural light. The central bathroom showcases warm timber panelling and vanity with a tiled separate shower, while the large laundry provides generous storage and functionality often missing in comparable properties.
The rear of the property delivers excellent outdoor appeal. A generous paved patio features a built-in BBQ, creating an ideal setting for weekend entertaining or relaxed alfresco dining. The private backyard includes a low-maintenance garden with established plantings, offering a balance of greenery and easy upkeep.
Location delivers genuine city-fringe convenience. Walk to Kensington or Macaulay train stations for direct CBD access, catch trams along Racecourse Road and Flemington Road, or explore Kensington Village cafes, boutiques, and everyday essentials and Racecourse Road cafes and shopping precinct. Moonee Ponds Creek Trail sits nearby for recreation, while CityLink provides swift arterial connections to the broader metropolitan network.
