1/8 Heyington Place, Kennington VIC 3550

This stylish solid brick townhouse was way ahead of its time when built about 30 years ago. The ground floor is all about living and entertaining with a refurbished galley-style kitchen featuring stainless steel gas cooktop, under bench electric oven, dishwasher, pantry and plenty of benchspace on the long breakfast bar.

The spacious full length living/dining/study area with vinyl plank flooring adjoins a carpeted lounge with a wall of north-facing windows, gas heater and access to a covered alfresco area and roomy backyard with garden shed. Downstairs WC and storage-rich laundry opens to a private courtyard hiding the clothesline, bins etc.

Upstairs sleeping quarters includes two good-sized bedrooms and well-lit modern bathroom featuring skylight, vanity, oversized shower and second WC. The mezzanine-style main bedroom includes built-in robes and split system air conditioner.

Generous double carport with a gate to the backyard and low maintenance grounds in a private, peaceful court close to Strath/Kennington Village shops, LaTrobe University, picturesque Kennington Reservoir and community parklands makes this an ideal choice for young couples, retirees or investors. (Rental appraisal $290PW).
