41 Francis Lane, Kensington, Vic 3031

Advantaged by its sensationally central Kensington Banks surrounds, this enticing loft-style home achieves an attractive retreat on the very cusp of the city. From the ground level entry a welcoming staircase ascends to reveal open plan living of inviting warmth and size where functional wraparound kitchen and charming terrace presents options for intimate entertaining. Adding to the appeal is a central bathroom - offering separate shower and bath - that serves the two robed bedrooms. Compact lower level delivers efficient laundry and cellar/storage, as well as internal access to the secure garage. Other highlights include polished timber floors throughout the living zone, a/c and ducted heating. A short stroll to South Kensington station - only two stops from the CBD - as well as the racecourse and any number of the cafes that crowd Kensington Village confirms the substantial lifestyle appeal of such a splendid city-fringe setting.
