1/40 Gwenyfred Road, Kensington WA 6151

I sincerely doubt you will ever see a unique property like this one! If you appreciate Manhattan-style living with a twist of Industrial contemporary thrown in, this is what you've been looking for. Located in the very best area of Kensington with excellent street appeal, this town residence has been an absolute delight to own for over 20 years and the first time offered for sale.

Constructed by City World living in 1998, this incredibly solid concrete tilt home has undergone a complete high-quality renovation over the past few years. With ceilings up to 7m high, the sense of space and volume is astounding. Bathed in natural light, this residence is very private and fully secure.

The Space:
Ground Floor comprises of spacious open plan lounge/dining with charcoal slate flooring which has just been resurfaced and 2-part epoxy sealed (giving it a unique water puddle look, is non-allergenic, warm to walk on and very low maintenance). Leading from the lounge area is the fully equipped semi-open plan kitchen with stone benchtops and high-quality appliances (double under-mount sink, stainless steel gas cooktop & oven, double drawer dishwasher, etc.) A separate laundry (with outdoor access) and powder room complete the ground floor indoor area.

The indoor and outdoor areas flow as one large integrated space - achieved by installing wall-to-wall bi-fold doors that open out to the Jarrah timber decking area (freshly oiled), which is completely covered in a weatherproof dome style roof - perfect for all year entertaining. A natural gas point for the BBQ also provided. In addition to this, there is also a separate undercover decking area that used to house a sauna and spa (since removed), but would make an awesome open area gym, yoga, or relaxation area! Finally, the outside includes a 2 car secured parking area.

On the first floor is the Master Bedroom with ensuite and 2 further generous bedrooms and a main bathroom. The Master Bedroom has vaulted ceilings, an open ensuite bathroom with frameless shower, and a private undercover balcony with views of the Perth city skyline.

Both bathrooms continue the same colour scheme, with 600x300 clean white floor to ceiling tiling and Corten "A" feature wall, both with heated towel rails, frameless showers, and stone benchtops.

On the Second Floor there is a Loft Room which was designed to be a 4th bedroom. However, at the time of building, the stairs to this room were considered too steep by Council and was used as a study/office (however, currently set up as a 4th bedroom).


Freshly painted (July) with new carpets just installed. The ducted evaporative air-conditioning system is a mere 18 months old and LED downlights are installed throughout the entire home. High-quality remote security cameras, Foxtel, and fibre optic internet are installed on the property.

Strata fees are a mere $250 p/q, transport to the City is 11 minutes by bus. The beautiful Swan River is 400m down the end of the road Great schools are also in walking distance (Kent St High School/Kensington Primary). Also in walking distance is the bustling Vic Park and great coffee shots nearby - check out Little Banksia for the best Sunday breakfast in Perth!

Whilst we are leaving our beloved home with a heavy heart, we are embarking on a new adventure - an extended trip around Australia in our truck!
So everything you see in the images is included in the sale (by separate negotiation) if desired, this includes the convertible Mercedes in the driveway, down to the cutlery, knives and forks, bedding, beds, lounge, dining, fridge, washing machine, TV, Hi-Fi, EVERYTHING (including the kitchen sink), and a couple of extra surprises too!

There is literally nothing to do in our home as the property has been kept and maintained to a high standard. You will absolutely love your new lifestyle, my hope is that you will love living here as much as we have!
