Last Listing description (July 2020)
You came for Kensington Gardens' quick and easy reach to The Parade, Pembroke School and CBD beyond. You'll stay for a solid brick home that gets better - and quieter - with every step and leaves the best for its big and beautiful backyard on some 760sqm.
Its owners of nearly two decades have loved and looked after a 1960s solar-powered home with the timeless elegance to go with its modern upgrades amongst a light-filled interior dressed in crisp white.
The contrast between that bright white palette and polished pine floors conjure the perfect blank canvas - no matter your sense of style.
The kitchen - namely its monochromatic colour scheme, Miele double oven, integrated microwave, dishwasher and subway tile splashbacks - makes a strong, super-functional case for the best upgrade of all.
With its big north-facing bay window, boundless built-in storage and sleek ensuite, the master bedroom affords a good night's rest and easy mornings at the front of a home with multiple living zones and quite the surprise at its rear...
Built of its own solid brick, the separate rear studio/retreat - with adjacent home office, bay window and air-conditioning - elevates the home's 3-bedroom status to four where an expansive pavilion and beautifully presented gardens take family freedom and alfresco entraining to a level you never saw coming.
When the restrictions relax you can look forward to rolling bowls with night owls at the Tranmere Bowling and Tennis Club, brunching with mates at Long Lost Friend, catching the free 15-minute ride to Adelaide Oval and all the other perks that come with Kensington Gardens.
And it just gets better and better:
- Carport with room for two cars
- Onsite parking for a further two cars
- Solar system (1.2KW) for reduced energy bills
- Efficient split R/C and ethanol flame fireplace to front lounge room
- Flexible floorplan with casual meals and formal dining
- Storage galore, including built-in robes to all bedrooms
- Freestanding bath to upgraded main bathroom
- Large separate laundry and second toilet
- French doors/external access to bedroom two
- Lush lawns, garden shed and gazebo to rear yard
- New carpets throughout
- Custom sheer curtains throughout
- Walking distance from public transport
- Close to a range of quality schools, including Magill Primary, St Joseph's School Tranmere and Norwood Morialta High School
- Just 15 minutes from the CBD
- And so many more.
