3/15 Kensington Road

South Yarra VIC 3141

One of only five within a tightly held architectural group on the verge of Como Park, this north-facing townhouse occupies a discreet position within one of the area's most distinguished riverside streets. Conceived with a modernist ethos that draws the outdoors into every aspect, its oversized three-bedroom layout unfolds around a large garden setting of privacy and light, updated with a pared-back, timeless style across two levels.

A terrazzo marble-tiled entry hall leads directly to the ground-floor living and dining areas, enhanced by a wood-burning fireplace and expansive north-facing glass that overlooks the private courtyard. The terrace is broad, partly undercover and edged with low-maintenance greenery, amplifying the sense of outdoor connection that defines its architecture. The adjoining kitchen continues the terrazzo detail underfoot, yet incorporates subtle updates with sleek stone benches, new appliances, and an integrated dishwasher. It is complemented by a servery to the dining room and a full laundry, offering excellent storage that serves as a butler's pantry when entertaining. A brilliant upper level introduces three large bedrooms, each fitted with built-in robes and split system heating/cooling. The vast main bedroom faces north and features a walk-in robe and en-suite, while a second bathroom is equally generous and stylish, with skylights drawing natural light into the hall.

A powder room, a large under-stairs store, alarm system and secure basement parking for two with private internal access complete an impressive proposition, with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Rockley Gardens, Yarra River trails, city-bound transport, and South Yarra's dining and retail hubs all within walking distance.
