53 Gwenyfred Road, Kensington WA 6151

Timeless charm meets modern indulgence in the form of this magnificent 5 bedroom 2 bathroom two-storey family haven that defines comfort in every way imaginable.

Brimming with period detail — from soaring high ceilings and ornate cornices to solid timber floorboards, tuck-pointed brickwork and dazzling leadlight windows, it’s a home with heart and heritage in equal measure.

A breathtaking recent second-level extension elevates the experience — literally — with its sweeping tree-lined city-to-hills views. Step out on to the upstairs balcony to soak in the panorama or gather in one of the many living zones where old-world character flows effortlessly into contemporary style.

Beyond a gated front-yard entrance, raked ceilings grace the spacious tiled open-plan living, dining and kitchen area through the back part of the house. The functional kitchen alone is impressive enough, comprising of a double-door storage pantry, sparkling granite bench tops, double sinks, a microwave recess and quality stainless-steel dishwasher, range-hood, gas-cooktop and oven appliances.

The spare ground-level bedrooms are all huge, inclusive of a front second bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a back fourth bedroom with access to the yard – as well as the neighbouring study.

Also downstairs are a practical main family bathroom off the entry – with a shower, toilet and powder vanity, a substantial wraparound under-stair storeroom and a separate laundry with its own storage, separate toilet and external access.

The covered north-facing balcony can be accessed from the commodious upper-level lounge room – essentially the ultimate parents’ retreat – that has access to both the fifth bedroom (or an ideal nursery) and a luxe renovated master suite that is pure five-star bliss. Double doors extend the enormous bedroom wing into a sublime ensuite with a shower, a separate free-standing bathtub, a shower, a toilet, twin “his and hers” stone-vanity basins and a giant walk-in dressing room.

For outdoor entertaining, a massive pitched alfresco-style patio with ceiling fans, café blinds and audio speakers is overlooked by a generous elevated backyard-lawn space that the kids and pets will absolutely adore. A future swimming pool definitely wouldn’t look out of place here either, that’s for sure.

When it comes to lifestyle and location, it doesn’t get much better than this. Just around the corner, you’ll find Kensington Primary School and Kensington Montessori Early Learning Centre — perfect for growing families. Stroll to nearby bus stops and leafy local parks, all practically on your doorstep.

Prestigious schools such as Wesley and Penrhos Colleges are within easy reach, while The Little Banksia café, Kent Street Senior High School, the buzzing Albany Highway dining strip, multiple shopping options and the scenic South Perth foreshore — gazing over the glistening Swan River — are all just minutes away, for your convenience.

Having stood the test of time – and then some, this is a truly special home where the past and present live beautifully side by side!
