Effortless Living For Everybody
Nested towards the cul-de-sac end of the street and very close to the South Perth border, this fantastic 4 bedroom 2 bathroom two-storey family home defines low-maintenance “lock-up-and-leave” living, in the best way possible.
Downstairs, double doors reveal a separate home office that sits opposite a cosy master-bedroom suite – where built-in storage meets an additional walk-in wardrobe, as well as an intimate ensuite bathroom with a shower, toilet and vanity. A separate set of double doors shuts off the spacious theatre room from a central hallway with handy under-stair storage.
The sunken open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is where most of your family’s casual time will be spent – with the functional kitchen itself made up of a double-door storage pantry, tiled splashbacks, double sinks and quality modern stainless-steel range-hood, gas-cooktop, oven and dishwasher appliances.
Upstairs, the second and third bedrooms both have built-in robes, whilst the fourth or “guest” bedroom suite plays host to a walk-in robe – with semi-ensuite access through to a practical main family bathroom, complete with a shower, separate bathtub, a powder vanity and a toilet.
Outdoors and off the main living zone, a fabulous pitched patio off the alfresco deck offers covered alfresco-style entertaining within a private and delightful backyard setting, complemented by a wood-fire pizza oven, a shimmering below-ground swimming pool, space for the kids and pets to run around and a large workshop shed in the corner.
The word “convenient” is an understatement as far as this residence’s desirable location is concerned, with bus stops and a plethora of lush local parklands all situated nearby, along with Kensington Primary School, Collier Primary School and South Perth Primary School. Prestigious private schools in Wesley College and Penrhos College are also within arm’s reach, along with the Kensington Montessori School, the ever-popular The Little Banksia café, Kent Street Senior High School, community sporting facilities, the buzzing Albany Highway food and coffee precinct, multiple shopping centres and the picturesque South Perth foreshore, overlooking our glistening Swan River waters.
This gated haven on Hensman has your name written all over it. An enviable lifestyle well and truly beckons!

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.
