24/49a Kensington Road, South Yarra

Surrounded by well-manicured gardens, full of hydrangeas in the summer and lemons in the winter, this exceptionally oversized 60s apartment offers desirable flexibility on a tree-lined no-through road.

Located in the classic 'Hastings Court,' on the top floor you walk through the front door into a wide entrance hallway, double glass doors leading to a beautiful living room with a bay window and a private café balcony overlooking the vibrant garden. It includes a flexible dining room that can serve as a potential 3rd bedroom or study, an updated granite kitchen with brand new Westinghouse gas cooktop/oven and range hood with adjoining spacious laundry for extra storage. There are two large bedrooms, each with a full wall of built-in robes, an updated swish bathroom and separate powder room.

Recently updated for the new owner to enjoy immediately, this home preserves its vintage charm with high ceilings and deep sills, complemented by freshly laid carpet. Positioned advantageously at the front of the building, it offers three different aspects, allowing natural light to flow beautifully through the apartment. This idyllic abode also includes brand new roller blinds, modern light fittings, ample storage, and a carport.

Situated in a coveted part of town, just moments from Chapel Street and Toorak Road's shopping, dining, and transport options-including South Yarra train station and local trams-this property is within walking distance to Como Park and the Yarra River via direct access from Kensington Road.
