Easy-living luxury in Kensington’s historic heart
Embracing the leafy lifestyle only Kensington can offer, this picture-perfect, entirely freestanding cottage weaves classic into contemporary to create an environment of refined style and easy-living luxe.
As attractive as it is practical, a well-worked interior distinguishes original accommodation from extended main areas, with Baltic pine stepping to polished concrete to mark movement to modern. A lengthy skylight, northern feature windows, and high oak-board ceiling foster an ambiance of airy chic, while full-height stacker glass sees an open living/dining domain and wonderfully private backyard merge for seamless indoor-outdoor hospitality. Ribbons of granite, a walk-in pantry, integrated fridge/freezer, and Asko oven, gas stove, and dishwasher all feature in a first-class kitchen, while a marble-laced bathroom’s walk-in rain shower and bathtub join robes and fireplaces in enhancing two large bedrooms. Equipped to deliver low-maintenance luxury long into the future, other highlights include a fully lined attic ideal as an office or teenager’s escape, electric block-out blinds, sheer curtains, hydronic heating, split-system heating and cooling, a hallway skylight and floor-to-ceiling cabinets, alarm, marble-top laundry, extra WC, and ornate details accentuating period appeal.
Between the day-and-night verve of two city-fringe icons in Newmarket and Kensington Village, it’s never more than a short stroll to great coffee, diverse cuisine, vibrant nightlife, shopping options, hospital and university-bound trams, and trains on two different lines, while near elite schools, parks, nature trails, and CityLink.
