“ISLINGTON” - an absolute icon of Kensington's skyline for over 130 years, this extraordinary building (c1891) retains all the allure of its grand Victorian origins while providing a modern lifestyle of exceptional space and versatility.

Featuring a breathtaking original front retail space with soaring domed ceiling (former Kensington Property Exchange), now transformed into a luxury self-contained studio with its own deluxe ensuite, modern kitchen/meals and original bank vault converted walk-in robe.

A stain-glassed entrance leads to a grand main residence spread across two expansive levels, offering a further four large bedrooms plus study/home office, all serviced by two additional bathrooms. Adding to the allure is two ornately appointed living rooms with marble mantles and a separate dining room adjoined by an updated kitchen with stainless-steel appliances.

Other features of this extraordinary residence include hydronic heating and split-system a/c, solid timber floors and high ceilings with ornate plasterwork, as well as a columned front balcony with views to the city skyline and access into the bell tower.

Completing the picture is a bluestone cobbled backyard with two-car off-street parking (remote-control gate to Wight Street), plus original workshop and historic stables with loft above.

In Kensington's premier tree-lined street with ready access to Kensington Station, village shops, cafes and bars, it's also in close proximity to local schools and popular parks, as well as easy access to Citylink.
