Sunlit retreat in Kensington’s leafy heart

Relaxing in its disposition, exceptional in its position, and refreshing in its simplicity, this privately titled residence offers comfort backed by sun, space, and practicality between two Melbourne icons in Newmarket and Kensington Village.

Serene and secure behind its privacy fence and perched among the foliage so synonymous with its prestige pocket, the home proves comfortable from the outset. Three robe-lined bedrooms with the added comfort of double-glazed windows upstairs, and a stylish, dual-access bathroom with a bath/shower feature on a scenic second storey, while below, a sun-splashed living area steps through to an open meals space and L-shaped kitchen with stainless-steel appliances. Covered for year-round use, an alfresco deck is superb for a social Sunday, evening cocktail, or quiet coffee watching the rising sun, while other highlights range from valuable attic storage to lush gardens, split-system heating/cooling, a laundry/powder room (second toilet), gated carport, and no shared land or owners corporation whatsoever.

Less than 300m to both local lifestyle hubs, placing brunch spots, diverse cuisine, vibrant nightlife, boutique shopping, and supermarkets within an easy stroll, it’s right by parks and playgrounds, Kensington and Holy Rosary Primary Schools, and trains reaching the city in two stops, along with the new leisure centre, creek trail, and CityLink.
