Available for the first time in more than 15 years, this 3 bedroom property is perfect for the savvy investor, professional couple or family.
With its stunning dcor, sense of space and light, garage and storage, as well as ducted heating and cooling and location on Melbourne's doorstep, this is the ultimate combination of convenience, comfort, class and cool.
Located in what is considered the best location in Kensington right on a beautiful park at the end of a closed street, there is no passing traffic and your privacy is assured as the property nestles among beautiful mature trees on your door-step.
Upon crossing your verandah and entering through your front door you'll be struck by the high ceilings and drawn by the easy flow of the layout. Immediately inside you will find a relaxing lounge or formal dining space.
As you flow through the downstairs across the Tasmanian Oak floors, you discover an open plan kitchen/dining with stone benchtops and family/living area. In addition to these beautiful spaces is a powder room, Euro laundry and under-stairs storage. The floorplan continues to flow out to a lovely paved courtyard with built-in seating - perfect for entertaining or just relaxing. Continuing on from the courtyard is the garage (with an extra half-width for further space and convenience) and secure storage room. But no need to stare into a garage while enjoying breakfast in the courtyard as it is well hidden behind stained wood and glass French doors.
As you move upstairs you will discover the softness of the very best carpet that leads you to the master bedroom with built-in robes and access to your own private balcony. Here you can sip your morning coffee overlooking the park with privacy from neighbours and passers-by provided by the beautiful mature trees immediately in front. Two further bedrooms, one with built-in robes and the other with a built-in study desk, as well as the main bathroom with separate toilet and plenty of storage cupboards complete the upstairs.
Perfect for the Investor:
If you're looking to add a high-growth and high-yield property to your portfolio, with NO BODY CORPORATE FEES and virtually zero maintenance, then this is the one. With a brand new 12 month lease in place (until November 2020) with a rental return of $680 per week with great tenants, this is the opportunity for you. And with real estate guru John McGrath declaring Kensington as a PROPERTY HOTSPOT in 2020 with growth forecasts for Melbourne property prices of up to 17% (ABC 19 November 2019) to look forward to, now is the ideal time to get into the Kensington property market.
Perfect for the Family or Professional Couple:
Having once been the home to a family of 5, and now leased to a professional couple, the location on the park and its easy 10 minute walk to all the local attractions including swimming pools, acres of parkland, Maribyrnong River walking and bike trails, footy fields, skateboard ramps, gyms, cafes, restaurants, your choice of 2 primary schools and kindergarten, 2 train stations and only 2 train stops to the city, make this the ideal low-maintenance, perfectly located family home.
Brilliant Location:
The Age Newspaper once described Kensington as Melbourne's very own 'Notting Hill'. With its great community spirit, amazing range of trendy, casual as well as fine dining cafes and restaurants, the newly renovated and stunning Hardiman Hotel which rivals any pub in Melbourne, gorgeous homewares stores, plus its beautiful homes, architecture and history, while being only 4 kms to one of the world's most liveable cities, and a 10 minute walk to the Melbourne Cup at Flemington Racecourse and Showgrounds beyond, this is the perfect place to live or invest.
