A Freestanding Home Full Of Soul And Substance, Classic Elegance Meets Family Functionality

The sympathetic redesign of one of Kensington's signature Californian bungalows allows the original period features of this freestanding home to shine while creating a perfect environment for contemporary family living. Built in 1923 and lovingly held and maintained for nearly 30 years, the two-storey beauty is positioned on just under 600sqm at the northern end of prestigious Eastern Avenue. Tranquil leafy views from the upper level afford the ambiance of a treetop sanctuary with leafy greenery all around underscoring a sense of peace and privacy. Grandly scaled interiors, fine craftsmanship and a flexible family focused layout with a choice of three living areas combine classic elegance with contemporary comfort to create a home of enduring style and substance. In a tightly held neighbourhood, 750m to the light rail and UNSW campus, the five-bedroom home is footsteps to a child-friendly pocket park and 400m to Kensington Park's sporting facilities. Within easy reach of excellent transport links to Randwick and the city and top beaches.
