Elegant Living in One of Kensington's Most Desirable Locations
Proudly positioned on the corner of two of Kensington's most coveted tree-lined streets, this magnificent home exemplifies refined living. Thoughtful design and timeless craftsmanship by one of Perth's renowned custom builders create a stylish and elegant, yet unpretentious residence, offering warmth and comfort seldom found in modern homes. The beautiful main living zone, with double-height, timber-lined ceilings, flows seamlessly to a light-filled central dining room. This area opens through a wall of bi-fold doors to a superb outdoor entertaining space, forming the heart of the home and the ideal place to gather with family and friends. A separate front lounge provides a more formal living option or a quiet fire-side space to enjoy a fine wine, while the home theatre offers the perfect escape for relaxing and enjoying a great movie.
The upper level is dedicated to accommodation and work zones, with the master suite and guest or kids' wing separated by a large central study or additional living space, linked by a gallery with a delightful aspect to the soaring roofline and travertine-surrounded fireplace of the living area below. Ideally positioned in a lush garden setting on a 503sqm corner block, with appealing, classic facades to both streets befitting its prime location, this exceptional home is a Kensington landmark and the perfect place to call home.

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.

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.
