A Sensational ‘Kensi’ Lifestyle Awaits!

 

Brilliantly positioned right on the edge of historical Kensington Village, this very cute 1900s two bedroom, single-fronted cottage is perfectly poised for an enviable ‘latte lifestyle’ just metres to The Parade’s vibrant cafes, bars, restaurants and shops.

 

Nestled behind the classic white picket fence on its own low-maintenance allotment, this Sandstone-fronted cottage rich with character and brimming with quirky appeal, is ready to enjoy as is, whilst also dishing up plenty of exciting potential for a makeover in the future.

 

The bullnose verandah with polished timber fascias and posts, iron lacework and original solid timber front door welcome you inside the cottage defined by its soaring ceilings, ornate cornices, ceiling roses, Baltic Pine flooring and deep skirtings. Presented and decorated in Bohemian style with moody, richly painted interiors, the front living room features a beautiful timber-mantled fireplace fitted with a wood combustion heater.

 

The double-archway passage leads past the main bedroom and into the retro-styled eat-in kitchen starring black and white checkered flooring, tiled splashbacks and timber cabinetry. The neat bathroom/laundry has a bath with overhead shower and w.c., and the back lobby steps up to a rear second bedroom.

 

Perfectly private, the paved pergola-covered side courtyard opens into a spacious, full-width rear alfresco dining and entertainment area bathed in gorgeous Autumn sun.

 

This charming cottage with a cool Boho vibe also offers:-

• Split system air conditioner in main bedroom

• Wall shelving in lounge room

• Laundry facilities in bathroom

• Freestanding and Torrens Titled

• Fully-paved front and rear yards

• Garden shed

 

This prized pocket is treasured by the locals for its heritage buildings including the character-laden Rising Sun Inn (c1845) still trading on Bridge Road, the relaxed ambience and access to seriously sensational lifestyle amenities. It is only a 7-minute commute to the City, just steps to The Parade, city-bound buses, the “Kensi” Hotel, the popular Lune Bar and a quick dash to Norwood Swimming Centre. Surrounded by parks, ovals, a vast array of shopping and dining options on Kensington Road and Burnside Village, plus first-class schooling options including Marryatville Primary and High Schools, Pembroke and St Ignatius Colleges.

 

Whether you choose to change things with your own style, be inspired by the high-ceiling proportions and original detail of this period cottage and decide to update the existing property, or are seeking a brilliantly located carefree base for a savvy addition to your growing investment portfolio, with an address like this, you can’t go wrong!
