Kensington VIC 3031

On a substantial high-side block in the heart of Kensington, this double-fronted period home (built in 1887) provides a family environment of immediate function and convenience along with exceptional scope to renovate and extend, capturing elevated city views (STCA). Retaining all the allure of its Victorian origins, the home's flexible floor plan comprises three main bedrooms (larger master) and formal dining room/fourth bedroom.

Add to this an elegant front lounge, kitchen with dishwasher, serviceable bathroom, and separate family/meals area to the rear. Other features include towering ceilings with ornate plasterwork and original Baltic Pine floorboards, together with ducted heating and quality insulation (in-roof and under-floor). Completing the picture is a large north-facing backyard with high fences all-round for exceptional privacy and direct access to the full-length side ROW with potential for off street parking all highlighting the property's perfect proportions and untapped future potential.

A short stroll to Kensington Station (two stops to the CBD), bus route 402, Macaulay Road and Bellair Street cafes and shops, it's also close to primary schools and Racecourse Road trams, as well as Citylink to Tullamarine Airport. There's also easy bicycle access to the Moonee Ponds Creek and Maribyrnong River Trails, enjoyable walks to Royal Park, green spaces, and sporting facilities galore, and close proximity to Melbourne University and the hospitals precinct.
