(* Please be sure to view our video of this property!)
After many years with a well-loved single lady owner, this solid brick period home is now available. Situated in the prime location of Bellair Street, it is only a few steps to all the vibrant amenities of Kensington village.
Once you step inside the property you will immediately feel the warmth and space on offer. As with so many of these classic homes, there is a single hallway running the full length, with a couple of doorways to separate the sleeping from the living quarters.
While she does show her age, you will see that from the low-maintenance front garden through to the private entertainment courtyard there are enough comforts to enjoy her immediately. You could move straight in and start planning your improvements.
The entry hall will easily accommodate coats, hats, umbrellas and shoes. There’s even enough room for your pushbikes!
There are two large bedrooms, one king and one queen with plenty of room for freestanding robes and a dresser. The bathroom is only recently renovated and centrally positioned, with a separate toilet that has the bonus of being inside the house!
The spacious living room includes gas heating that has the potential to be restored to a fully fledged period fireplace. There is also a modern air conditioner mounted on the window. The enormous dining area and sunroom adjoins the country-style kitchen that includes gas cooking facilities and a heap of cupboards. Also adjoining is the full-sized laundry.
The property includes a single lock-up garage that is separate from the house and also on its own title. This provides more ready opportunity and you could potentially on-sell.
With direct access to Kensington Train Station, parks, shops, dining, schools, The Capital City Bike Trail, Citylink … AND within short distance of Melbourne’s celebrated Flemington Racecourse and Showgrounds, this home is only 4kms from the CBD.
Kensington remains a hidden gem and still so underpriced compared to the east.
Inspect now and be sure to bid before she reaches the finish line!
