Quietly Tucked, Rich in Nature
Positioned in a quiet, tightly held pocket of Kensington, this charming 1930s home offers a rare combination of privacy, outlook, and incredibly usable land - all just minutes from town.
Set on fertile volcanic soil, the property has been thoughtfully transformed into a thriving food forest, creating a lifestyle that feels far removed from suburbia. Whether it's fresh produce from your own backyard or simply enjoying the established, beautifully curated gardens, this is a setting that truly gives back.
The home itself carries all the warmth and character you'd expect from its era, with beautiful timber detailing that adds depth and authenticity throughout. It's been carefully enhanced to ensure modern comfort without losing its charm -double glazing, an HRV system, and a heat pump all contribute to a warm, dry, and efficient home. A well-placed light tube brightens the kitchen naturally, while the addition of a north-facing window invites in extra sun and connection to the outdoors.
The layout is practical and easy to live in, complemented by good insulation and a genuine sense of homeliness.
Out the back, a real bonus awaits - a separate garage with its own access, complete with a handy workshop space. Whether you need storage, a tinkering zone, or extra flexibility, it's a valuable addition that broadens the appeal.
Elevated enough to capture peaceful, green views across surrounding hills, the property enjoys a semi-rural feel despite being right in the heart of Kensington. Quiet, private, and just a little bit special.
This is genuine, feel-good real estate. A home with heart, substance, and a setting that's becoming harder to find.
Come and experience it for yourself.
