It is our pleasure to bring to the market for the first time since it was built in 2004, this lovely North facing, brick, double-storey home with incredible views, has been specifically designed for the lovers of organic living, with natural untreated wood finishes throughout - if this is you, then look no further!

This very functional and easy living design home has it all. Finished off with very special care taken on using natural woods throughout, all the cupboards and doors throughout are non-treated and natural finish.

The gardens have been cultivated with the current owner never putting chemicals into the ground or on any of the vegetation, but making use of natural products to preserve and protect the fruit trees and plants in the gardens.

When you enter the home you will immediately get the sense that this home has been designed with natural lighting being of high importance, as there are abundant large windows throughout the home to allow natural sunlight through the entire home

We love selling a home that has all the right TICKS to questions most buyers ask:
Does the home have a main bedroom and bathroom downstairs for when I get older and cannot climb stairs? - YES
Does it have separate living areas for the adults and the children? - YES
Are the bedrooms a decent size? - YES
Views? - YES, YES, YES!
Starting to tick a lot of boxes here - so I suggest you don't waste time on viewing this one

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.
