Exceptional homes have something special making them immediately attractive, and that's surely the case with this three bedroom Kensington Banks residence, masterfully designed around an illuminating courtyard.
A sunlit lounge at ground level is linked by French doors to the relaxing main courtyard and a second courtyard, to the rear.
Nearby are two double bedrooms with built-in robes: one accesses the main courtyard, whilst another looks out to the rear courtyard, and both share a central bathroom.
Upstairs the open kitchen/dining/family domain is spacious and flexible.
Complete with a study nook, it's also connected to a well-proportioned balcony.
A Bosch electric oven, four-burner Smeg gas top with bonus electric hotplate, Bosch rangehood and Miele dishwasher feature in the practical kitchen, complemented by solid Jarrah benches, tiled splashbacks and a pantry.
Another highlight of this storey is the parents' retreat/master bedroom, offering large walk-through robes and access to a dual-entry bathroom, providing a spa, separate shower, long vanity and heat lamp.
With a powder room and laundry, plus ducted heating, refrigerated cooling, central vacuum, an alarm, intercom and electronic tandem garage, this home has all you need for wonderful city fringe living.
Stroll to parks, Maribyrnong River, South Kensington station and local shops.
