NOT YOUR TYPICAL APARTMENT & HERE'S WHY...

Proudly Presented by Edward Lim | Ray White ELG

It's not often you find an apartment that offers this much independence, particularly in a location as convenient as Kensington. Positioned on the first floor with direct street frontage and its own separate driveway access, 27/8 Gwenyfred Road feels more like a private little residence than your typical apartment.

And that's before you step inside...

The home is neat, well presented and surprisingly spacious, with a separate air-conditioned lounge room, a dedicated dining area and a fully renovated kitchen that gives you plenty of room to cook, entertain and actually enjoy your space.

Both bedrooms are comfortably sized, with the main bedroom featuring double built-in robes and a new ceiling fan. The bathroom is functional and well maintained, while the separate toilet and large laundry add a level of practicality you'll appreciate day to day.

Step outside and you'll find your own private balcony overlooking the street, a great little spot for your morning coffee, a quiet afternoon or simply letting some fresh air into the home.

Then there's the parking, which is a genuine bonus. With a separate driveway entrance away from the main complex, you have your own undercover car bay plus enough room for another vehicle. For an apartment, that sort of flexibility is not something you come across every day.

And the location? It's hard to argue with.

The Swan River is only around 600m away, while the cafes, restaurants and entertainment along Victoria Park's vibrant strip are close enough to make spontaneous dinners and weekend coffee runs very easy. Canning Highway and nearby bus services put the CBD and surrounding suburbs within easy reach, with Curtin University, Crown, Optus Stadium and Perth Airport all conveniently accessible.

Whether you're buying your first home, downsizing, looking for a city-fringe base or adding an easy-care property to your portfolio, this one ticks a lot of boxes without asking you to compromise on location or practicality.

Low maintenance, easy to lock up and leave, and genuinely different from your typical apartment.

The combination of street frontage, private access, undercover parking and a great Kensington location makes this one well worth a look.

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.
