25 Chelmsford Street, Kensington, Vic 3031

Tucked away in a prized Kensington pocket, opposite the historic Younghusband Wool Stores, you'll discover a single-fronted two bedroom Victorian cottage with enormous restoration, renovation and extension potential (STCA). Beyond a charming timber block-facade, and veranda draped with iron lacework, the property features original details such as decorative high ceilings, hallway arch and fireplaces, including one with a cast-iron insert, ornate timber mantle and mirror. A traditional layout comprises hallway and two double bedrooms preceding a lounge and separate dining room. An older-style side and rear addition houses a tidy kitchen, with gas stove, updated bathroom and porch leading to a north-facing backyard with rear access potential to a laneway. A short walk away are Kensington Village cafes, trendy boutiques, schools and Kensington Station, while artisan delights, are on your doorstep, and the CBD, CityLink and Flemington Racecourse are easily accessible. Appealing for astute renovators, either to live-in or capitalise on, this property's a rare opportunity not to be missed.
