TWO SIDE BY SIDE- R80 ZONING
A very unique opportunity is here for the astute investor. Buy one, or buy both! These two side by side Kensington character classics are now approved R80 Zoning, offering an incredible opportunity to hold or develop.
Both sites have potential to redevelop up to 4-units per site under R80. Acquiring both sites would give the buyer more scope to dream big with 8-9 grouped dwellings, or bring a new apartment offering to this location (*subject to council & WAPC approval.)
1 Gwenyfred features a beautifully maintained character home with 3 bedrooms, formal lounge or 4th bedroom, 1 family bathroom, large open plan living and meals adjoining a spacious kitchen. Kitchen features a large walk-in pantry room and plenty of bench space. The lush backyard provides a shady green sanctuary with tall trees, an undercover patio, plus a large garden shed. An outdoor laundry and disused tradie toilet add to the vintage feel.
Currently leased to a great tenant on a negotiable term.
3 Gwenyfred is next door and sadly, time hasn’t been as kind to this home. Currently uninhabitable and being offered ‘as-is’, this 2 bedroom property needs some vision to see the charm restored, or it may be time to start again for this site.

Kensington overview
Kensington is a small suburb bound by South Terrace in the south and Canning Highway in the west. Developed in the post-war years, the suburb was named after the former Kensington Park Racecourse, which was most likely named after William Samuel Cox's Kensington Park Racecourse, in Melbourne. It is in a convenient location close to a number of inner-city urban hubs and just a few kilometres from Perth City.
Life in Kensington
A number of parks and reserves dominate the Kensington landscape providing plenty of scenic vistas and open public space for locals to explore. The retail and amenity requirements of residents are largely serviced by establishments in surrounding areas, however there is one supermarket within the suburb. Kensington borders Perth's Technology Park, is close to Curtin University and features one local school, Kensington Primary School.
