A Blank Canvas Ready For Transformation, A Prime Opportunity For The First Homebuyer

Make your mark on this bright and airy apartment and capitalise on its prized location just behind Kensington village and just 200m to the light rail for an easy trip into Surry Hills, Circular Quay and the CBD. Offered in raw original condition, the first-floor apartment is one of only six in a double-brick 1960s block on a wide tree-lined avenue with parking on title and only one rear common wall. Wrapped in two big balconies with windows on three sides, there's so much potential here making it a perfect market entry and a fantastic opportunity for the renovator looking for a boutique apartment to make their own. The first time ever offered for sale with only ever one owner, this is a rare affordable entry to one of the east's most connected suburbs. Footsteps to every convenience and 350m to Centennial Park, this quiet pocket of Kensington North is close to UNSW and Randwick Racecourse and a 3km commute to the city.
