A CLASSIC KENSINGTON CHARMER
There's a particular kind of magic in a garden gate that opens onto parkland instead of a fence line. This home's lovely outdoor garden runs directly onto David Vincent Park, a beautiful green space with room enough for the kids to run wild, the dog to have the perfect runaround, and every weekend BBQ to spill effortlessly from kitchen to lawn.
This is a genuine character home, full of the charm and warmth that only comes with age, the kind of house that feels lived-in and loved rather than manufactured. To the front, an oasis of a garden sets the tone before you've even stepped inside, lush and established, with a terrace perfectly positioned for an evening glass of wine as the light softens and the day winds down. It's the sort of spot you'll find yourself drawn to again and again.
Inside, the layout is considered and comfortable: a master bedroom with two further bedrooms, a separate dining room, and a family bathroom serving the home. The open-plan kitchen and living area sit at the heart of it all. Set on 496 sqm, there's space here to enjoy as-is or grow into over time.
The street itself does a fair share of the selling. Collins Street has quietly become one of Kensington's most-loved addresses, home to the neighbourhood's new favourite, Corner 33, and directly opposite Kensington Primary Kindergarten, making the school run about as easy as it gets. Add in the walk to David Vincent Park at your back door, and you've got a pocket of Kensington that locals rarely give up.

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.
