Modernized Character Home
Nic Sauzier from M Residential is proud to present to the Kensington market - 174 Hensman Street. Arguably in one of the most sought after locations in Kensington, known to many as the "golden triangle" this renovated 1940's built home is set out on a 511sqm green title block and it is one you simply cant miss out on!
With an abundance of extras on offer including 3 generous size bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, separate formal and informal living areas, multiple outside entertaining areas and large backyard. The leveled backyard area is usable for multiple uses with the retaining for a granny flat in place (subject to council building approval), the property has a tandem 2 car carport plus additional secured parking available behind electric gate and a single spot off the main road, you wont have to park on the road again.
A combination of modern renovations whilst keeping the traditional character features of the home has been applied with thought and attention to detail by blending the new with the old. As you walk into the home you are greeted with the precision craftsmanship of the solid Jarrah timber floors, look up and appreciate the space from the high ceilings, ornate cornices and ceiling designs. The home incorporates the original fire place which has been converted to a modernized gas fireplace for convenience. LED down lights have been installed throughout insuring sufficient lighting needs are met.
The home offers 7 split system air conditioners, installed in all bedrooms, living areas, the converted study and rear sleep out/living room - enjoy the comfort of climate controlled rooms all year round.
The rear garden area has been fenced off offering gate access to the main house with the intentions of a private granny flat at the rear of the block. The granny flat retaining and leveling has already been completed and so this area is ready for a proposed granny flat (council approval will be required prior to the build commencing).
Another big renovation to this home is the garage being converted into a study/office/games room/man cave area. This room is fully climate controlled and has access to the rear of the property as well as access from the front. The possibilities are endless, ideal for a home office so clients don't have to access through the main house, teenage retreat or man cave with the possibility to open a door way to the toilet/guest bathroom.
The home is perfectly placed for the buyer looking for school catchment zones. Situated within the catchment areas of Kensington Primary School (900m away), Como Primary School (2.5km away) and South Perth Primary (2.1km away).

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.
