3/14 Orient Rd, Kensington Gardens is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom Unit with 1 parking spaces and was built in 1973. The property has a land size of 146m2 and floor size of 85m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in March 1998.
Find potential and promise in the perfect position thanks to this light and bright two bedroom single level unit set away from the road at the rear of a boutique group of only three. Located in arguably one of the prettiest streets in the area where majestic oak trees form a shady canopy, this solid brick 70s Colonial-style unit is an exciting opportunity for young buyers and investors to get into a locale loaded with first-class amenities. It is also a perfect foundation on which to make some quality, contemporary updates.
A welcoming front porch opens into a carpeted bay-windowed lounge and adjacent dining area which flows through to a functional kitchen with stainless steel elevated oven, gas cooktops and pantry. With room for easy meals on separate bench space, the kitchen is a practical space and continues out through the laundry with access to the very low maintenance rear North-East facing courtyard.
The passage leads down to the two well-proportioned bedrooms - both offering fitted wardrobes and sharing the central bathroom featuring bath, walk-in shower, vanity, heat lamp, and the convenience of a separate w.c.
A roller-doored carport with separate gated driveway off Roslind Avenue (offering up to two additional off-street carparks) rounds off this neat package.
While there is scope for some renovation to bring it right up to date - perhaps a new kitchen and bathroom - don't be too quick to overlook the value in the unit's existing presentation, positioned for ultimate ease - literally steps to bus stops, and an easy stroll for coffee and daily supplies at the local Aldi.
Appointed with:-
Ducted evaporative cooling system
Linen cupboard
Secure external window grills
Front & rear porch entry
Rear garden shed
Privately set at the end of the Group
