This gorgeous furnished 3 bedroom Victorian period home is located on a beautiful tree-lined street in the vibrant inner-city suburb of Kensington, just 4kms from the CBD. It is available from 1st June 2018, for a 6+ month lease (preferred).

The nearest railway station (Kensington) is only a 5 minute walk away, requiring just two stops to access the city. Local buses and a city-bound tram are similarly closeby, providing additional transport options.

Positioned for easy access to centrally located universities (University of Melbourne, RMIT, Victoria University) and hospitals (Royal Children’s hospital, Royal Melbourne Hospital, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre), this home has been updated and extended to allow for modern conveniences and comforts, but has elegantly maintained many of its original period features such as high ornate ceilings, original baltic pine flooring and decorative fireplaces, with plenty of natural light throughout.

This pocket of Kensington is renowned for its village like feel, and is a short walk to both Kensington Road or Racecourse Road for cafes, supermarkets, shops, bars and culinarily diverse restaurants. The neighbouring Maribyrnong river and surrounding parks is a great place for a jog, family picnic or as a perfect vantage point to watch the world famous Melbourne Cup horse race hosted every November at Flemington Racecourse. Local parks and sporting facilities (e.g. gym, tennis courts, YMCA) are just a stone’s throw away. Queen Victoria Market and Footscray Market can also be easily and quickly reached from here by public transport.

There is a choice of primary schools within walking distance (e.g. Kensington Primary School, Holy Rosary Primary School), and a number of local high schools such as Mount Alexander College accessible easily via public transport.

A plethora of bike lanes and walking paths, including the much beloved Newmarket stock route, allow cyclists easy access into the CBD (15-20 minute ride) or its surrounds. Macaulay and South Kensington railway stations are also just a 10-12 minute walk away, allowing access to two additional train lines on the network. Car sharing services such as GoGet are also readily available in this area.
