THE HOME
The BEST OF THREE comparable homes available in Kensington now. All original (read: renovator's dream), this beloved family home is available for the first time in 80 years. That's what you'd call a keeper!
Five generations have gathered in this kitchen, laughed and cried and shared oranges from the tree outside. These walls are now ready to embrace someone new.
Structurally sound and meticulously maintained, you are safe to begin your next adventure.
Want options or room to grow? A flexible floorplan includes a second semi-bathroom, a rumpus room for kids and 4th bedroom/ study. An enormous shed caters for a workshop, toy storage, or convert into a granny flat without compromising your excellent yard space.
Buy money and time. Minor cosmetic renovations will breathe new life into these solid bones and create capital immediately. Live in or rent out while you design your architectural dream.
Whether it's renovation, extension or building from the ground up - this is the place to make it happen.

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.
