Work, rest and play
· Do you have a home-based business that’s scaling up?
· Are you a professional needing an office to meet clients in person?
· Do you need more workspace and secure storage for your growing online business?
· Are you starting a business but don’t want an expensive commercial lock-in lease?
This rare property can accommodate any of these scenarios PLUS you and your family in a newly renovated 4-bedroom Victorian era residence.
Downstairs the former street level shop, is a contemporary, flexible (42m2) space currently configured into 4 rooms, plus powder room, perfect for many small business needs.
When the work is done, close the door and celebrate in the wine cellar; cook in the stylish new kitchen and enjoy the large rear terrace, overlooking the suburb that has grown around this landmark Kensington building.
At day’s end, retreat upstairs to your choice of 4 bedrooms including a ballroom sized master with park views.
All of this is within one historic property that has been home to an extraordinary variety of businesses and residents in the heart of Kensington for more than 140 years.
In addition to period features and hydronic heating throughout, there’s off-street parking for 2 cars from a rear lane plus 2 additional on-street parking permits. You and your clients or customers also have easy access to trains, buses, trams and freeways.
A property like this is rarely available within City of Melbourne boundaries. The unbeatable location combines a quiet residential street that’s part of the celebrated ‘Kensington Village’ precinct which still has its own post office and traditional fish and chip shop plus medical services, cafes, restaurants and exceptional pubs.
The opportunities are endless for professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs and their households to combine work, rest and play in a truly unique workplace and residence.
And when you finally decide to take a holiday, you can simply lock up and leave - the freeway to the airport is minutes away.
This property which combines work, rest and play is scarce, comparisons are hard to find - one of the reasons it’s the first time this has come onto the market in 24 years.
Private inspections welcome.
