There is a lovely sense of privacy to this home.
Set in the original part of Kensington Park, this sunny north-east-facing apartment sits in an elevated position, looking across to the greenery of Eaves Bush Reserve.
The elevated position is accessed via a number of stairs, offering a natural opportunity to incorporate movement into everyday life while bringing the added benefits of elevation, privacy and tranquility – qualities the Vendors have particularly enjoyed.
And once inside, the home opens up.
The living, dining and kitchen spaces are generous, with an easy flow that makes the apartment feel surprisingly expansive. It is the sort of space where you can entertain comfortably, settle in for a quiet evening, or simply enjoy having room around you.
The living area opens onto the deck, bringing the outdoors into everyday life. From here, the outlook across Eaves Bush Reserve is particularly lovely. An ideal spot for the morning coffee or simply take in the spring blossoms on show right now.
There are three bedrooms in total, with the master enjoying its own ensuite and direct access to the deck. The additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, family, a study or simply the luxury of having a room for everything.
And then there is the garage – something that can be surprisingly hard to find in apartment living.
This is a generous tandem space, with plenty of room beyond the cars. A workbench, bikes, boards, hobbies – there is scope here to make the space work around your life, rather than the other way around.
But perhaps what is most appealing is the setting. There is a quietness and understated calm to this part of Kensington Park. Established, leafy and understated, it has a calmness that is increasingly difficult to find. Yet the beach is an easy stroll away as is the Kensington Park Café, a great place for lunch or a catch up with friends.
It is a home that gives you a little bit of everything: sunshine, privacy, outlook, generous living spaces and the convenience of a neighbourhood you can actually walk.
And while it may be an apartment by title, it certainly doesn’t feel like one. There is space to breathe here. A lovely outlook. A little separation from the world.
And, perhaps most importantly, somewhere that simply feels good to come home to.
