Character and Charm in a Outstanding Location
This fabulously located property has been called home by the same family for 70 years – creating a lifetime of love and happy memories within the four walls.
Boasting many of its original 1950s features, the three-bedroom home sits in a fantastic corner of Kensington, with easy access to cafes, shops, parks and the city.
Built as a "war service" home, the brilliantly located property was once known for having the best garden in the area. The father of the family was a landscape gardener, known for his roses, camellia trees and frangipanis. As a result, the soil of the property is still wonderfully rich to this day, with its own artesian bore. Will you be the one to restore these large, potential-filled gardens back to their former glory?
Over the years, additional bedrooms have been added to the property, but fortunately, original features such as the tiling in the kitchen, window frames, and the beautiful, established trees remain.
Characterful, history-filled homes are very hard to find, particularly on large, well-located blocks such as this. Don't miss this chance to grab a unique piece of Kensington history just around the corner from the well known Morris Mundy Reserve.

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.
