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.

THE LIFESTYLE
Kensington is an undervalued central suburb home to community groups, family centres, green
spaces and minutes to the thriving Vic Park retail. Restaurant strip. The ultimate convenience, with
bustling village vibes, just 3km from the big smoke.
Walk just meters to local child care, quality Kensington Primary and Secondary School. Prestigious private
colleges (Trinity, Aquinas, Wesley and Penrhos) and Curtin University are all within a short drive.
Only 2km to the riverfront, 3km to Perth CBD and less than 10kms to Perth Airport.
More people are beginning to value the things that lend life everyday magic - being outdoors,
growing your food, cooking, creating. These priceless experiences will be even better on Bourke
Street.
Street sundowners, playdates and busy bees create a sense of community and belonging -
neighbours have become friends and are willing to help each other out. Locals love this modern-day
village!
A rare opportunity, leap now, or you will miss out!
