409 The Parade, Kensington Gardens.

The classic beauty of this bungalow on a whopping allotment in a blue-chip locale presents an irresistible opportunity to families, renovators and developers. Perched across from the magnificent Kensington Gardens Reserve so popular with the locals, this grand old home bestows its sentimental presence upon a 1382sqm rambling allotment with generous 25.91m (approx.) street frontage. Featuring three palatial bedrooms, a character-laden formal lounge and a kitchen that extends to connected dining, it is a charming residence that will steal the hearts of buyers, adorned as it is with gorgeous period features that are simply delightful. Discover the romantic fireplace, the intricate ceilings, the exquisite timber fretwork and the period windows… and of course the iconic wrap-around verandah. Partial updates and a flexible floorplan let you continue the transformation into a home of distinction enhanced by modern inclusions. But there is also the obvious development potential (STCC) on a substantial block of land which is currently under-utilised. - Prestigious eastern suburbs location close to Pembroke School - Walk to The Parade boutique shopping and dining precinct - Short drive into the CBD - Local wine bars, cafes, restaurants, reserves - Popular public schools nearby - Grand formal entry hallway - Garden-facing master bedroom with a fireplace and window seat - Expansive airconditioned lounge with built-in bench seating - Plus-sized 2nd and 3rd bedrooms - Bedroom 3 features a ceiling fan and dual entry - Two sparkling bathrooms and a guest w/c - Spacious kitchen ready for a reno - Semi-open kitchen to dining connection - Floating floorboards and tiles in the kitchen/dining area - Undercover outdoor entertaining space - Large established garden - Single garage or storage shed and driveway parking - Zoned Magill School and Norwood International High School RLA 285309
