15 Clarence Avenue, Kennington, Vic 3550

Set on a quiet tree-lined street, this two-bedroom home in original condition has loads of charm & charisma, with the potential to renovate to three.

Close to all amenities including Kennington Primary School, La Trobe University, and shopping centres, it?s ideal for first-home buyers, a professional couple or retirees. A one-roomed bungalow in the backyard is a bonus.

Shade trees dot the front garden, there are two entrances from the concrete patio: a single door and french doors that open into a hallway. We entered via the single door. The care that?s been shown this one-owner home over the years is clearly evident.

On the left is a delightfully inviting lounge room with a lovely ambience. The slate fireplace, with a gas heater set into it, is definitely the highlight. Deep cornices and picture rails are other features. There?s also a wall-mounted air-conditioner and ceiling fan.

Sliding glass doors open to reveal an adjoining dining room while through another sliding door is the bright and cheerful kitchen. There are no high-tech appliances here, but an upright electric stove serves the owner well as does above- and underbench storage. And again, the ambience.

Two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a three-piece bathroom, with a deep bath and separate shower, are towards the front of the home. The main bedroom has a reverse-cycle split-system, ceiling fan and corner windows overlooking the front garden.

From the kitchen, a door with a quirky porthole window opens to a small vestibule with a laundry.

A vine-covered verandah is your introduction to the split-level backyard where you can plant vegies, and enjoy the serenity.

This home is a classic, so don?t procrastinate!
