A Story Nearly 100 Years in the Making
Perched proudly on an elevated block in the heart of Kensington, this 1930s Art Deco residence feels less like a house and more like a beautifully preserved story, waiting to be continued.
Behind its character façade, original details remain intact: decorative ceilings, ornate architraves, Jarrah floorboards, and stunning leadlight windows that speak softly of another era. Lovingly maintained, beautifully restored and thoughtfully updated over time, it offers the best of both worlds - timeless character and charm, paired with the comfort and convenience of modern living.
Now approaching its centenary, this much loved home has lived many lives, and is ready for its next chapter and its next custodian.

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.
