Some houses just speak to you...

Elevated above street level this charming tuck pointed home is perfectly located, just across the road from Mackie Street Reserve.
Resplendent in those character features that we all love, the tuckpointing, ornate ceilings, feature lead light glass and polished jarrah floors have all been maintained to high standard.

A bespoke kitchen sits at the heart of the home.
Recently renovated in 2018, the kitchen features composite stone benchtops and splashbacks, oodles of clever storage and European appliances.

Bi-fold timber and glass doors open directly to the north facing undercover alfresco, providing a perfect link between indoor and outdoor living for year round entertaining.

Take a seat the built-in desk in the study… it's a beautiful aspect from which work from home, or to run your own business.
Originally the formal lounge, this large room boasts a feature fireplace, a view over the street and is a lovely breezy light filled part of the home.

With an extension to the original home providing for 2 more bedrooms and a bathroom at the rear of the home, there is the potential to configure the home as up to 5 bedrooms!
The generous main bedroom is located at the front of the home and has a wall of practical built in robes.

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.
