QUINTESSENTIAL KENSINGTON CHARACTER IN A COVETED POSITION!
Nestled behind a fairytale white picket fence, on a manicured yet easy-care 675m² Green Title allotment, this charming weatherboard cottage is the quintessential Kensington character home.
Meticulously renovated and cleverly extended, pairing period features with contemporary conveniences, this magnificent residence is a feast for the senses.
Gleaming jarrah floorboards greet you at the leadlight front door, hinting at the quality which awaits inside and inviting you further into the home to experience more. Keeping with tradition, there are three generous bedrooms (one with walk in robe) providing clever separation from the main living zones.
Upstairs, a private home office or 4th bedroom provides a retreat for work or contemplation or the ideal teenager's retreat.

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.
