1/427 Kensington Road

Rosslyn Park SA 5072

Just down Kensington Road at Erindale is a Foodland supermarket. Keep going to Portrush Road and turn left to the shopping mecca of Burnside Village, or right to the bustling cosmopolitan precinct of The Parade at Norwood.

From the moment you enter the unit, you will be struck by the luxurious, relaxing ambience and impressed by the crisp, harmonious design that projects the build quality of the 1960s onto a stylish 2020s backdrop.

You might also be struck by the sense of quiet. That's because all street-facing windows have been fitted with Magnetite double glazing to minimise noise transmission from outside, as well as for thermal efficiency, making the most of the reverse-cycle, 8kW split system that heats and cools the entire unit.

The sanded and highly polished pine flooring throughout the living areas and bedrooms looks like it has never been walked on - and it hasn't until now, because it's been under carpets since day one of its life.

The honeyed tones, along with the pristine white walls and woodwork, flow seamlessly from the generous-sized, bright and airy lounge room, through a wide entrance to the kitchen/dining space, and along a short corridor to the bedrooms and bathroom.

Even some things you can't see are new, such as the electrical wiring and the plumbing, which in the bathroom meant taking the floor level down to bare earth so the room could be totally overhauled with freestanding bathtub, heritage-look floor tiles, floor-to-ceiling, large-format wall tiles and black-accented accessories and tapware.

Stepping back to the kitchen, you see chic, on-point, black-stained timber cabinets offering plenty of storage and contrasting with tough and stain-resistant Silostone benchtops incorporating a black Franke sink, and with heritage-look tiles on the splashbacks and beyond.

The style of the kitchen extends to the adjoining laundry, with black cabinets and heritage tiles on the floor matching the kitchen splashbacks, plus more large-format white tiles forming a splashback behind the built-in trough/basin and washing machine alcove. A thoughtful addition is an airing rail for skirts under the bench.

The main bedroom is spacious and light-filled, with windows on two walls and floor-to-ceiling wardrobe.

The second bedroom also offers plenty of room, has a pleasant outlook, and could double up as a study or home office.

In the rear courtyard, privacy is enhanced by a tall wall of green vegetation behind a paved area edged by a garden bed for flowers, herbs or veggies.

Lawns at the front and side create a cool environment, while a mature bottlebrush casts some welcome shade on the unit's frontage on warm days.

If you need a school, Pembroke, Loreto, St Peter's Girls, Norwood Morialta High, Burnside Primary and St Ignatius Primary are within easy reach.

And if someone wants to buy you a nice bottle of Grange for your birthday, direct them to Penfolds Magill Estate winery just up the road. You never know your luck.
