83 King George Street, Kensington WA 6151

Some homes have a presence the moment you see them, and 83 King George Street is one of them. A terracotta tiled roof, half-timbered gables, a turret and lacework detailing give this Kensington character home a storybook quality, while the layout inside is generous, practical and made for family life.

The home opens onto a wide verandah, a lovely spot for a morning coffee. Inside, the entry leads to separate living and dining rooms, and further in you'll find a spacious lounge with a fireplace, ready for winter evenings. The kitchen and meals area sits at the centre of the home, with a pantry close by, and flows through to a family room and a large activity space. French doors open to the garden, so the whole home feels connected to the outdoors.

Three bedrooms sit on the ground floor. The master suite has a walk-in robe and an ensuite with a bath, and the other two bedrooms have built-in robes. Up the stairs, the turret holds the home's most surprising room, an octagonal space that works as a fourth bedroom, a study or a reading nook. It's the sort of room you remember.

Outside, the garden is made for entertaining. The wrap-around alfresco has a gabled gazebo strung with festoon lighting, perfect for long dinners and summer evenings, and the herringbone-paved verandahs are just as lovely for a quiet drink. A fenced bean-shaped pool is framed by tropical plantings and a timber-look deck, and nearby you'll find limestone-edged garden beds, established trees and a lawn area ready for the trampoline.

At the back of the garden, a self-contained granny flat with its own bedroom and bathroom opens to the paved courtyard. It could be guest accommodation, a teenager's retreat, a home office or a studio, and it offers flexibility for years to come.

Kensington is a leafy, welcoming pocket with a village feel, and from King George Street everything you need is close. Local parks and playgrounds are on your doorstep, so there's always somewhere for the kids to burn off energy and for the dog to stretch its legs.

The South Perth foreshore is close by for riverside walks, bike rides, picnics and watching the sun set over the city skyline. The Kensington Bushland Reserve offers a quiet escape from daily life, with trails to explore and plenty of birdlife.

Dining is a pleasure here. Start the weekend with brunch at The Little Banksia, enjoy a relaxed meal at Somewhere in the Park, and end the evening with a classic night out at Salt and Pepper Grill. All are close by, so you'll quickly find your favourite.

A short drive opens up even more. You can be at the shops along Albany Highway in minutes, and Kensington Secondary School is close for families. Taylor Reserve Disc Golf Park and Heirisson Island are close by for weekends outdoors, and Crown Towers is a short trip away for a special night out.
