There is nothing quite so perfect as a pretty renovated Kensington Cottage. This cute as a button, two bedroom plus study home, is big on land at 513m2 and move in ready!
You will absolutely love the large north facing front porch and the formal entry that opens to a spread of charming original features like lovely jarrah floors and original timber awning windows.
Turn right off the entry and you will find the generous, bright master bedroom, a whole wall full of wardrobes with shelving and hanging space galore as well as a modern split R/C. Turn left and your immersed in the spacious lounge room with another big wall of north facing windows and its own Split R/C.
Bedroom 2, formally the nursery, is also fitted out with lovely big wardrobes as well as its own split R/C, so the littlies can be comfy all year round, while the study/bedroom 3 adds extra space to work from home or the occasional visitor a room for the night.
The bathroom is fully renovated with a modern, sharp, functional design, a place to enjoy some peace and privacy. While the kitchen with its Caesarstone bench-tops and rolled railway tiles and cabinets galore has an ageless grace that will serve its new owner for years to come.
The rear gabled patio is absolutely huge and offers a place to play, entertain or relax, 365 days a year as the gardens give a feeling of openness and tranquility. To top off the wish list, there is a lock up garage, a brick workshop and a large store shed - a haven for the man of the house!
With most of the renovation done, there is still room for you to add your own touches and possibly an extension to the home, if your planning on a big family! As the home is positioned on one of Kensingtons most sought after streets, where you can walk to Kensington Primary School, The Little Banksia Caf, Canning Highway and public transport, in less than 5 minutes, the location part of the equation, just can't be beat.

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.
